It'll depend on how Kangaroo the Court is.

When Kyle Rittenhouse goes on trial Monday for shooting three men during street protests in Wisconsin that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake last summer, he'll argue that he fired in self-defense.
Legal experts say under Wisconsin law he has a strong case. What's less clear is whether prosecutors will be able to persuade the jury that Rittenhouse created a deadly situation by showing up in Kenosha with an AR-style semiautomatic rifle — and that in doing so he forfeited his claim to self-defense.
Rittenhouse, 18, of Antioch, Illinois, faces six counts including homicide charges in the Aug. 25, 2020, deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and he could face life in prison if convicted of the most serious charge.

It'll depend on how Kangaroo the Court is.
It will depend on how terrified the jury is of Antifa.
0% chance of conviction, will either be acquittal or hung.
You can bet that as soon as the name of those on the jury leaks out then the left will be busy terrifying them. Just like they did with the Floyd jury.
Running from the scene of mass rioting and being tackled and beaten and potentially shot while on the ground is the strangest definition I’ve ever heard for “creating a dangerous situation”

What's less clear is whether prosecutors will be able to persuade the jury that Rittenhouse created a deadly situation by showing up in Kenosha with an AR-style semiautomatic rifle — and that in doing so he forfeited his claim to self-defense.
Wouldn't that mean that any armed person is forfeiting his right to self-defense?
Famous last words.
I suppose the Defense Counsel could point that out.
They are already threatening to riot unless there is a conviction.
The case should have been dismissed immediately, he should have been released from jail. Clearly he was being attacked by looters and rioters, responded in pure self-defense.
Then they should be told that if they do then lethal law enforcement force will used against them. There will never be a just trail ever again if these tactics are allowed to continue.
so much video, and all of it confirms it was 100% self defense.
What's really less clear is whether or not Rittenhouse will get a real jury or an OJ jury.
Thus my Kangaroo Court comment.
So much video evidence the prosecutor needs to suppress.
Thus far the judge has been superb in his rulings.
That's my initial take. By arguing the mere act of arming yourself means you forfeit your right of self-defense, they would effectively argue that you have no right to self-defense. Wisconsin is a permissive open carry state, so that seems unlikely.
If the Judge was superb, the case would already have been Dismissed with Prejudice.
They need to be met by a battalion of Kyles.
