It would be better for Rittenhouse to be acquitted by a jury.

“It would be better for Rittenhouse to be acquitted by a jury.”

Ideally. But that won’t happen ‘cause the jurors know without a doubt how evil these people are. They know without a doubt their lives will be a living hell forever if they acquit.

Maybe the best outcome would be for them to vote guilty, and then have the judge reverse it. Then the jurors and their families would be safe from violence.

“In any trial the judge is the ultimate decision maker and has the power to overturn a jury verdict if there is insufficient evidence to support that verdict or if the decision granted inadequate compensatory damages. The term used to describe this action is judgement notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) or judgement of acquittal in a criminal case.”

No matter what happens, Kyle’s life is over, whether in person or not.
