    Which is why I'm surprised a lawyer took the case. The payout will be $0.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      • Just watched the Rittenhouse interview on Tucker Carlson. It was ok. I still think he shouldn't have done it.

        found it online:

          I didn't watch it last night in that I'm really not that interested and agree he shouldn't have done it.

            I thought he did well. And I'm glad he did it - he cleared up a lot of misconceptions and out right lies and it humanized him. Now he needs to fade away...

              Tucker was probably the wrong person to go to. He's too sensationalistic, and frankly doesn't carry alot of weight except in certain niche circles. He would have been better going to Shepherd Smith, or someone like that who at least has a better reputation as a straight shooter.

                Yeah, in Texas, it seems to be more like 40%, but I couldn't figure out what Roy was actually trying to say.
                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                  Well he obviously wanted to be heard and by more than the dozen or so people still watching Smith (that's if his CNBC show hasn't been cancelled).

                    He actually should take on the "defund the police" idiots who make our cities much less safe.

                      Shepherd Smith? Good grief... Perhaps Bret Baier...

                        Here it's 33.3% but some, usually shady, lawyers attach fees bumping it up to between 35 to 40%.

                          Honestly? Lost track of Fox News anchors. I don't watch news often, I couldn't tell you who is or isn't on the air anymore.

                            No, he's clearly implying that the police should have apprehended Rittenhouse ("Were the police too cozy with vigilantes walking the streets enforcing their own justice?") even though the "vigilante" narrative was demolished during the trial.

                                Rittenhouse's own lawyer suggested he change his name and disappear.

                                Richards said, “I think there’s a lot of people want to use Kyle for their own means. I think the way the Rittenhouse name right now has trended on Twitter – and that’s what we live in, is a Twitter society – people want to use his name, get it out there so they can get some publicity. I think it’s cheap. That’s what I think.”

                                MacCallum said, “What’s your advice to him about how he should live his life from now?”

                                Richards said, “Yeah, my advice would be to change his name and start his life over. He’s very recognizable right now. There’s a lot of people who I don’t think have his best interests at heart and probably want to make him a symbol of something I don’t think he wants to be necessarily associated with. And once you give up your name and your likeness and you join those causes, I think a lot of people will use you for their own purposes, and you won’t be able to control it.”

                                I really like that lawyer. He seems like a genuinely decent human being.
