"Rittenhouse, 18, killed two men and wounded a third in the summer of 2020
during a turbulent protest against racial injustice, in a case that has underscored bitter division in the U.S. over guns, protests and law and order.
So dishonest. During a huge riot and arson spree that left entire city blocks burned out.

This was the correct decision, the legal age to carry a long gun in Wisconsin is 16, not 18, UNLESS you are talking about a Class 3 (NFA) firearm.

Live turkeys counter riot for species justice. One racial justice demonstrator got his eyeball pecked out by a white supremacist turkey.

“A turbulent against racial injustice”.
I love the styling of these damn “reports”.
If anything it should be “against ALLEGED racial injustice”.
Sick of this unquestioned premise.

Can’t the feds pull the “deprived of civil rights” card out of their butts like they often do? Thus making a mockery of double jeopardy?
To: nickcarraway
Yes, which is why the prosecution sought to add lower charges right at the end.

***So... then why didn’t the judge toss that charge at the beginning?

Yes, the way that was stated was incorrect.
It made the case for him being 18 at the time of the shooting.
If you didn’t know, you might be fooled.
Look, that would be in Rittenhouse’s favor, but they should
stick to the facts.

” Good news is that if the jury acquits, the prosecution cannot appeal the instructions, or any other alleged error committed by the judge. That’s the end of it.”
Defense has one item in the instructions that they are objecting to ‘on the record’.
Not sure if ‘objecting’ is the correct term.

He probably did not know that himself. The law starts out saying carrying long guns is prohibited for those under 18, and most people stop reading. But there is an exception that clears most people over 16, and that is applied here.

How did these idiots charge a man being tried as an adult with being a ‘minor in possession’ in the first place? And the defense attorneys had no objection to it? WTF?

"How did these idiots charge a man being tried as an adult with being a ‘minor in possession’ in the first place? And the defense attorneys had no objection to it? WTF?" Those are two different things. Being tried as an adult wouldn't mean he didn't violate the statute.
