I guess after the computer/video guy, Black, they will be done with testimony and next will be closing arguments. I wonder if they will just call it a day and have closing arguments tomorrow. I don’t think they have yet agreed on the jury instructions. They might work on that this afternoon.
I’m praying that there is at least a couple jurors who can put themselves in Rittenhouse’s place and see he had no choice once he was attacked. He never initiated an attack upon anyone but simply responded when other attacked him.
From Branca:
Looking at maybe instructions tomorrow morning, then closing through mid-afternoon Friday.
Parties would rather they get instructed, closing on Monday, deliberate through Tuesday.
Judge reluctant, taking under advisement.
Parties would like to do closing on Monday.
Judge wants to start a new jury trial on Monday. Jury has been here a long time.
Binger: Not sure we can give them jury instructions today.
Prosecution has a short case after defense, which may include some cross exam. That likely happens this afternoon. Judge wants to start on instructions and verdicts today.
Some dbate on whehter to charge jury tomoorw, likely run into saturday, or charge them on Monday. Judge has tentatively agreed to Monday.
I read that half the original juror’s pool were gun owners but don’t know about the final jury. Probably depends on if they live in the city or are more rural. My biggest worry is they’ll be like the Chauvin jurors, worried about retribution from the Left. They already know that video/pics have been taken of them. MSM and biden have already set up the narrative that Kyle’s a white supremacist.
Kyle’s best hope is that the jurors are glad that riot night 3 didn’t see as many businesses burned because of people like Kyle being an armed presence and guarding businesses.
