Question for my lawyer readers
Anyone with an open mind who watched the Rittenhouse trial should come to the conclusion that Kyle Rittenhouse is not guilty on all counts.
This is so obvious that Miguel and I have written posts based on the social media accounts of Liberals who came out and said how deceived the were by the pre-trial media coverage.
So it’s scary to me that deliberations have taken more than 15 minutes.
So here is my question:
We know that activists (arguably domestic terrorists) have threatened to dox the jurors.
Someone already tried to take pictures of the jurors, the judge warned the jury about that already.
The Wisconsin governor has put 500 National Guard troops outside the court house because of the threat of riots.
So if the jury comes back with a guilty verdict, how much leverage does the defense have to say “we proved our case, the jury was clearly intimidated by the mob, we want the verdict vacated.”
Clearly jury intimidation by the mob is a real threat in this case, what recourse does the defense have?
I don’t want Kyle to spend one day in prison, I’m sure he won’t survive the first night.
