[at timestamp 6:17] "The motion of the defendant is granted, the charges against the defendant on all counts are dismissed with prejudice, and he is released from the obligation of his bond."
That’s bad. A jury acquittal is better than a judge’s decision. What about the defense’s misbehavior?
We’ll have to wait for the jurors to choose to speak about the matter.
John Quincy Adams (from the movie “Amistad”) to the court:
“James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington... John Adams. We’ve long resisted asking you for guidance. Perhaps we have feared in doing so, we might acknowledge that our individuality, which we so, so revere, is not entirely our own. Perhaps we’ve feared an... an appeal to you might be taken for weakness. But, we’ve come to understand, finally, that this is not so. We understand now, we’ve been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding... that who we are *is* who we were. We desperately need your strength and wisdom to triumph over our fears, our prejudices, ourselves. Give us the courage to do what is right. And if it means civil war? Then let it come. And when it does, may it be, finally, the last battle of the American Revolution.”
That Lin Wood is a POS!
You can’t sue the government without their permission.
And, the President himself has immunity while President.
The not guilty verdicts could not be challenged.
The post verdict dismissal of the charges with prejudice clearly allows for the defendant to pursue a malicious prosecution suit against the state and also puts the two Prosecutors on notice that the judge determined that they had engaged in deliberate and willful prosecutorial misconduct.
They could lose their bar tickets because of their misconduct and could be prosecuted.
We can only hope.
To those saying it’s normal: he specifically referenced the motion to dismiss. Yes, likely just tying up loose ends, but that the end was loose to tie up seems interesting.
“And more importantly he’ll get his rifle back”
I would find that hard to believe.
Do you think he would still want it?
If I were in his shoes I would ask that it be destroyed.
“Federal Government can still bring one of their “violated civil rights” charges.”
How so? KR was not a public employee acting under color of law; and even if he was, he did not deprive anyone of their civil rights because the victim belonged to a protected class.
Oh they will try, or send goons to do harm to this kid, it’s the #JihadJunta after all.
That didn’t take long.
more importantly he’ll get his rifle back and keep his 2A rights

Kyle should post a new picture of him and his AR-15

The only thing I could think of would be it may have closed the door on some prosecution appeals.
A wag on one of the legal chats suggested that was the time the ADA could have agreed to the prior motion to dismiss without prejudice.
You’d have to read the actual motion, but my guess is that since the state brought a case with basically no evidence (including the testimony of their prime witness), it was certainly appropriate to ask for that.
Lol, surely you know whites don’t have civil rights in Brandon’s America.
I don’t think they’ll touch it.
Uh - there’s this double jeopardy thing in the way. They would have to charge differently and with separate and different elements of the offense in order to get past a motion to quash.
That is always possible, or federal agents could just go to the boy's house and kill him outright. And his dog.
However, since a jury acquitted, I'd guess Dem elites would want to focus group test any additional persecutions before busting a move. Dem elites are not so outraged that they want to drive their approval numbers below 30 percent.
Dem elites lost a couple of their soldiers to KR; they don't want to lose control of Washington DC too.
“And, the President himself has immunity while President.”
Joe Biden slandered Kyle Rittenhouse before he stole the Presidency. And, filing the suit now is enough to publicly portray Biden as the divisive hate-monger he is.
Nope.
I’d say getting both is good: carried by 12 AND case dismissed with prejudice. Any continuing attempt to overturn the verdict now has 2-3 roadblocks, not just one.
