I have a bad feeling Rittenhouse gets off and the Arbery jury hangs.

In the comments to yesterday's local news article here about the Rittenhouse trial 95% of the people seem to believe it's a clear-cut case of self-defense and it's a miscarriage of justice that he was even charged with a crime. Kid is going to walk for sure.

^ Ironically the prosecution pretty much established it was a clear case of self defense, according to he legal panel. They also mentioned "malicious prosecution" several times yesterday.

I guess Rittenhouse barely fits in this thread, because the cops seemed to approve of him, but remember, he's not a cop, he didn't shoot black people, and I don't see a huge reaction if he's acquitted or convicted of a minor offense.

Agreed. It's the Arbery case that has the real potential to reignite mass protests.

^^^As well it should.
Defendants’ video is pretty fucking damning.
And the citizens arrest defense they are using only applies to felonies, of which Arbery committed none prior to his murder.

It should be a fucking lay down, except it happened in some backward southern county, and the judge is in way over his head.

I expect federal charges to be filed if they are acquitted.

Is that before or after the state of Georgia burns down if those rednecks walk?

Arbury case... Say the victim is white and all the defendants are black.. Exact same evidence, exact same jury... Hummm.....

In the unlikely (IMHO) chance he is acquitted, I predict more rioting in Portland than in Atlanta...

Judge in the Rittenhouse case is a complete tool. Videos shot with Apple phones can’t be trusted, because Apple ??? WTF ??

Headlines make it seem like the judge is doing everything he can to help the defense.

The ringtone of Judge Bruce Schroeder was revealed to be God Bless The USA by Lee Greenwood when it rang as the judge was presiding over the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The song has been heavily used at rallies headlined by former President Donald Trump.

Or he wants nothing to do with this case and is trying to get the prosecution to demand he declare a mistrial so the case can be tried before a new judge. Next move would be to drop trou and moon the prosecution table.

So the guy who called out the police officers who abused the dying guy is getting charged with 4 crimes that could land him in prison? Seems like they glossed right over that part of the story. What is he charged with?

Four counts of official misconduct from leaking the video, illegally using a department laptop to access the video and some other BS
