Rittenhouse Trial: Big Wins for Defense on Jury Instructions, State Leads with Provocation; but the crowd seems to own the streets

Legal Insurrection

There's a rumor that the mob has affected the Kyle Rittenhouse jury   "Anybody objectively watching the Kyle Rittenhouse trial could see that he should never have been charged.  Witness testimony and video footage established clearly that Kyle acted in self-defense when he shot at three men, all of whom were vigorously engaged in trying to kill him.  My worry from the beginning, though, has been that the jury will be so intimidated by the gathering mobs that it will affect their verdict.  The facts seem to support my concern.

"Despite the clear evidence presented, which should have led to a verdict in an hour or two at most, the jury did not reach a verdict on Monday.  According to Jacek Posobiec, "Two jurors holding decision up, outright citing backlash, per US Marshall in Kenosha."

A manifestly innocent Rittenhouse still at this moment faces the prospect of life in prison because a jury knows he did nothing wrong but is terrified their lives could be ruined for finding him not guilty

This is the America that the Left wanted to create, and it’s here
Handbrake Poso: 
I see people tweeting they want to come after Kyle Rittenhouse if he walks and I can't help but think - wow - are you really just going to cross state lines?!

. . ."What is heartening is that only two of the twelve jurors seem to fear the mob.  That means ten out of the twelve people in that jury room believe that Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent and are willing to go back into the courtroom and say so.  I hope they can prevail on the other two jurors to do the right thing.  If they don't, we have ceased to be a country with the rule of law and, instead, become a country governed by mob rule on the ground and totalitarian diktats from on high.  Rather than being a free, first-world nation, we will be just another failed state."
