The only thing against outright dismissing the case is that it may not be the best for Kyle Rittenhouse. He needs a pronouncement of innocence, yea?

If the judge dismisses the case with prejudice, it means that he cannot be tried again on the same charges. It's equivalent to a not guilty verdict. If this was a run of mill murder case, I get the impression that the judge would have dismissed it with prejudice, but because of the publicity and the high profile, probably not. I do not know if he Rittenhouse might not be technically guilty of a weapons charge, but it seems abundantly clear that Grosskreutz is guilty of assault and of weapons charges.
