Kyle Rittenhouse...

[NorrinRadd]

That guy is such a weasel. He was forced to tell the truth because of the video. I can imagine what he would have said if there wasn't.

Didn't he turn around and basically go back to his original story when Anderson Cooper interviewed him the next day?

[NorrinRadd]

COOL!!!! I'm not a real big Tucker fan, but he CAN and probably WILL expose the lies and the deception of the prosecution.

I believe it's to be Kyle's first media interview post-trial. Tucker said he and his staff have spent a lot of time with Kyle and his family the past several days

[NorrinRadd]

Victims 2 and 3 are defending the city against a rampaging active shooter. If self-defense applies in that case, the law is an ass. We hope there will be a civil prosecution in due course, when the burden of proof will be different.

The demon-possessed reprobates are hoping for civil suits against Kyle. The righteous are hoping for Kyle to bring defamation suits against the media.

Turley opines that neither side will have a slam-dunk.

With all the documented high profile twitter posts and MSM articles pre-trial smearing him with lies, I can't imagine how he wouldn't have a slam dunk.

In an honest world? Absolutely. In this crazy world in which we find ourselves? Who knows.

Honestly, I can't stomach Anderson Cooper so I couldn't say. I did watch part of an NBC interview he did on YouTube and he told about 5 lies that contradicted both testimony and the videos.

I'd prefer he did an interview with Tarl Warwick (aka Styxenhammer). He's a Libertarian YouTuber who would be a good coach for launching civil suits against the MSM, DeBlasio, Newsom and Biden. He wants to see Rittenhouse get rich.

Carlson just seems a bit, um, sensationalistic?

Question?

At the end of the trial, as the judge was addressing the jury, Kyle walked out of the courtroom. Had he been dismissed by the judge? Just wondering why he left at that particular moment......

Yes, immediately after the verdict was read, the judge announced that Kyle was free to go. It's not unusual, then, for the judge to address the jury. Kyle was no longer under the authority of the judge at that point, but the jury had not yet been dismissed.

YES. Reasonable doubt always has the potential to exonerate guilty people for that reason.

While that's true, in this case, the defense had positive evidence proving that it was justified self-defense.

Got it. I must have missed the part where the judge told Kyle he was free to go. Thanks, my dear friend!

OK, I think I stand corrected - I found an actual script of the reading of the verdict here - https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts...-on-all-counts
The judge doesn't appear to actually tell Kyle he's free to go.

However, in our courts, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that a "not guilty" verdict releases the defendant. It was obviously his attorneys (Kyle was kinda hyperventilating still) who let Kyle know it's over and he was free to go.

So I'm not deaf and blind after all!



I don't blame the poor kid for getting out of there as fast as he could.

Yeah, I guess I've been in so many courtrooms, and so used to that "you're free to go" after the verdict, that I must have "heard it in my head".

I think the judge said it earlier, around the time the jury went into deliberations. I recall him saying if found "not guilty" that he would be free to leave. At the same time, he said there would be plenty of officers ready to escort him, if needed.
