RITTENHOUSE VERDICT: NOT GUILTY ALL COUNTS!
Free at last!
UPDATE: Rittenhouse Post-Verdict Analysis Online Event – Sunday, November 21, 7 p.m. Eastern
First count Rosenbaum: NOT GUILTY
Second count: McGinnis: NOT GUILTY
Third count: Unknown male NOT GUILTY
Fourth count: Huber: NOT GUILTY
Fifth count: Grosskreutz: NOT GUILTY
Andrew Branca: Hey folks, this post is a kind of collaborative event, so here’s my brief contribution. This was, of course, the only verdict consistent with the evidence, with the law, and with justice.
The State never had anything even close to disproving self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt, no case that a reasonable jury could possibly convict on, and despite that they brutalized this poor kid for a second time in this trial, after the initial series of murderous attacks on Kyle Rittenhouse.
For the last 14 months not only did Kyle have to deal with the PTSD of the physical attacks he miraculously survived the night of August 25, 2020, he had to worry whether this trial would end in a life sentence + five years with no possibility of early release. Then add in the contemptible conduct of the prosecution in preparing for and arguing this trial, with misrepresented evidence, mid-trial evidentiary gifts from the evidence fairy, and outright misrepresentations of the law, and from the perspective of this small-town lawyer, this entire affair was a legal horror show.
Then, after both parties had rested, and a fair and impartial jury ought to have returned verdicts of not guilty in the morning of the first day of deliberations, the defendant had to suffer through four days of uncertainty until the justice finally delivered mid-day on the fourth day.
We can only thank God that the jury ultimately delivered to Kyle Rittenhouse the justice and acquittals he so richly deserved.

OMG I am so happy for him and the law.
God bless America.
GOD BLESS THE JURY FOR STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
Yes. They could see through this sham and followed the law. God bless them, indeed.
Praise the Lord! America still has a pulse.
Yes… we must stand with the jury… and get ready for the next battle front… the Feds.
So the judge played it right. He maintained faith in the jury and held abeyance on the motion for mistrial until the jury reported. Well, done.
However, the mob is still out there. And the mob is not just people in the street. The mob also resides in American boardrooms, executive office suites, colleges and universities, in the media, and in local, state, and the federal government.
Do not expect any apologies, but, rather, continued prosecution by the means they have available. But than God for this verdict, the rule of law, and our inherent inalienable right to self-defense!
the media and politicans will be making Kyle rich.
the lawsuits are going to be interesting
He didn’t break any federal laws.
Neither did Project Veritas
Yes, I was just wondering about how long it will take Garland to announce a civil rights investigation.
God Bless America, God Bless Kyle Rittenhouse, and God Bless Self Defense in the face of extreme evil.
Woot woot
Excuse the profanity
Acquitted on all counts you liberal motherfucking assholes….now go destroy your own cardboard box the next time you want space to destroy
A nationwide run and shortage of Sour Grapes has been announced by the White House. Emergency supplies are being rushed in from all over the world on Air Force supply planes. Leftists nationwide are having their heads explode. Stand by for information on your Civil Defense radio.
Sadly, the supply chain and erosion of the workforce has led to more and more delays of these much-needed liberal supplies, including security blankets and coloring books. How will Twitter ever function without these life-saving safety measures???
“I’m all out of sour grapes. But I’ll give you a bitchin’ deal on bitter almonds.”
Someone had to say it!!!! Thanks!
YES.
Now it’s Binger’s turn.
Verdict announced on MORNING of Friday of pre-Thanksgiving weekend. Very purposely. I think there’s a good chance they had decided yesterday, but waited till today to announce it, so they could get out of town, so there would be fewer protesters, and so law enforcement could get into place.
?? The jury had to be back in the courthouse to deliver the verdict. If they decided yesterday they would be rushing through the papers to avoid coming back Friday.
He should be disbarred.
He should be a darn sight more than that!!!
Yeah Baby!!!!!!
Justice prevails! Let’s go, Brandon.
Fuck Joe Biden*
FIFY
You just saw an innocent man break down in tears of joy for a system that tried just about everything to railroad him that the worst parts of our country could muster.
Thank you to the common man for upholding the law!
Glad to see justice prevail. Very emotional watching Rittenhouse reacting to the verdicts. One can only imagine what he has been through. What an unbelievable young man.
If you missed it live, you can re-watch on the video feed (around the 3:30 mark).
Thank you. I did miss it.
I have been praying all along.
Thank God.
I pray he has a happy life and is safe.
It affected me, too. This could be any of us! That is why I paid full attention to this trial. I’m so used to watching the videos in slo-mo, blurred, freeze-frame. When you get one that shows it all in real-time, what he did that night was damn amazing. He kept his cool and stopped only the threats he needed to stop and did no more. No mag dump, no bullet spraying. Controlled fire on the threat at the moment it was needed.
He survived two fights. Physical and legal. The toll they must take, I cannot fathom.
I hope he can get his life going. George Zimmerman to this day cannot live a normal life from what I understand.
Godspeed, Kyle.
Kyle may get his legal fees, a free college education, and a lot more when he sues all the social media and news companies that called him a mass murderer, aka libel per se.
Including Biden and Jen Psaki.
and Biden … Biden had NO evidence when he called Kyle what he did … because it was a completely false statement
ryStatDL, Nixon shot off his yap about the Mansons as well. He turned out to be right, but it doesn’t mean he should have shot his mouth off.
This is a HUGE win for those of us who’ve been looking for a reason to have faith in the system. Now let’s take care of what is sure to be heading our way.
JUST A MINOR EDIT…
“What we have learned [today] is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback. And let me tell you something — for the first time [this year], I am really proud of my [countrymen]. And not just because [Kyle] has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I’ve seen people who are hungry to be [validated] around some basic common issues, and it’s made me proud.”
—H/T to Michelle Obama
Pleasantly surprised. Good that the National Guard is standing by. They will be needed.
I hope they have troops covering those piles of bricks they found scattered around Kenosha.
I’m really surprised nobody has thought of using those brick piles as honey pots.
That’s a very smart idea! I’d use tar instead of honey, though. Why not add to the misery.
“Honey” in this instance, doesn’t mean bee honey, lol. Honey Pot is euphemism for outhouse/porta-potty.
In computer security a “honey pot” is something that is used to lure ne’er do wells so that you can spring a trap on them, or track them back to their lair.
Honeypot means “a trap with attractive bait.”
Similar to “honey trap,” like Fang Fang and Swalwell.
The pictures of the bricks were from last year. It may have been a bs story.
Or maybe not. This might be a little bit of a deterent to those who think they can get away with rioting.
Hopefully, the libel and slander suits follow now. There needs to be a reckoning with the so-called press.
I agree. Sue the daylights out of the execrable Joy Reid and the rest of the media lemmings/prostitutes/twits who slandered Mr. Rittenhouse as an alleged “domestic terrorist” and “white supremacist.” Blatantly false statements, made with obvious maliciousness.
I hope Mr. Rittenhouse pockets lots of $$$ from the inevitable, generous settlements that he’s entitled to.
I’d thumbs up that comment 1000 times if I could. It’s time for the media’s game to bite them hard.
Did I hear that right? Did Schroeder just grant the motion to dismiss with prejudice after the verdict?
I don’t think he ruled on the motion. I think he dismissed charges with prejudice because of the jury verdict.
Perhaps that was to eradicate any possibility of the state trying to retry on lessor related charges.
Yes he did, whatever effect it will have now
He said kyle was dismissed with prejudice. I wondered about that…
I think he accepted the verdict with prejudice; meaning no second attempts by the prosecution to question the outcome. But let’s have a lawyer opine.
2A was on trial and it prevailed.
Great news. Now, I want to see Bar disciplinary proceedings for Binger and Krause, and, the local DA — this case never should have been brought to trial. Unethical and greasy prosecutors, brazenly shirking their ethical obligations as prosecutors, ignoring the factual and evidentiary record, charging a defendant based upon mob bloodlust and transparent political agitation/animus, and, putting this poor kid and his family through hell.
Thank you to Mr. Branca, once again, for his peerless and superb trial analysis and insights.
Neah.
I want them to continue as ADAs.
Think of all the damage they will do the Democrat cause before they come up for re-election.
Kraus and Binger are famous now and not in a good way.
Do realize that Kraus was never elected.
He ran for DA as a Democrat and lost.
The winner, having an assistant opening, hired him.
All this while, there was no Republican opposing candidate for DA.
Tells you everything you need to know about Kenosha right there.
I’m sorry– I wrote Kraus when I meant Binger.
I think the withholding of evidence, if true, is more ‘ripe’ for a State Bar Ethics charge. I do not think they can be found ethical for filing charges when the Court allowed it to go to trial.
And every case they ever touch in the DA’s Office now needs to be reviewed. … Both should be in jail, but for qualified or absolute immunity. … Perhaps that will be a benefit “immunity” will be legislated to a minimum or out of existence.
The Judge had already said that there would be some hearings about evidence tampering and prosecutors’ misconduct! I hope THOSE are televised! I know “liberal tears” is just an expression, but if the Judge comes down hard on those two you’ll probably see some REAL LIBER TEARS!
If the defense lawyers of people “successfully” prosecuted by these two isn’t already getting ready to file for mistrials because of the amount of misconduct seen in this trial, they’re not doing their job.
I don’t see how this would be an effective use of energy.
If these clowns committed misconduct, it would/should have come up in the form of defense objections or bench rulings.
If it went un-noticed then, it’s probably not worth reinvestigating now.
Wow….judge just also dismissed WITH prejudice.
Eff you, shady lawyers. They didn’t even try to defend themselves.
What’s Mike Nifong doing these days?
On a ho-huntin’ safari with Mike Bellesiles.
There is justice , the 2A is alive and well, and there will be peace in the US
Hopefully there will be peace but I think just a battle was won, a big one, but the war against our way of life is still in full tilt.
A lot more to do , but enjoy the W !
The system worked now go after the RIOTERS
Well, I dissent slightly, inasmuch as I would point out that if the system had truly worked, these charges never would have been brought against Mr. Rittenhouse, in the first place.
This trial — like the Zimmerman show trial, years before it — is evidence that the vile Dhimmi-crats’ are bringing their obnoxious and cancerous totalitarianism to bear to corrupt DA’s offices and to corrupt what should ideally be apolitical, fact-based and evidence-based charging decisions.
Q: “Why has communism never worked?”
Marxist: “Because the right people have never been in charge.”
Q: “Why is the American system failing?”
Patriot: …
“Loocie, you gotta lotta introspection to do…”
How appropriate, that Joe Biden*, who slandered this innocent kid, is getting fucked in the ass by his doctor right now.
You do realize that while Joe was having Fun Harris was president
Yes, scary thought.
I wonder where Harris was getting probed during this time?
Sorry, I hit the down by fat finger . Out here in California many are hoping the “Joyful Warrior”will become President and complete the destruction of the Democratic Party,
Let’s hope she doesn’t complete the destruction of the republic in the process.
There is still justice in America.
This is great!
I thought the best he could get would be a mistrial!
Justice! He should never have been charged!
oh- and aside from being absolutely ecstatic that KR is free.
I cannot wait for Brandon Herrera’s emergency gun meme review.
Branca’s coverage has been dinner, Brandon’s coverage is dessert.
OK Mr. Jacobson, ’bout time you folks put a ‘like’ button on these pages! 🙂
Free Kyle!!!*
(*With purchase of Kyle at regular price)
I think Chirafisi just got a bunch of new clients.
Another example of how people are duped, especially progressives, to believe the slop thrown at them.
Re-watched and Kraus looks like someone just stole his lunch. I think Binger might slide off and blames this all on the less likeable fat guy. He definitely turned on him quickly regarding the drone video hearing during deliberations and held up his hands like “I had nothing to do with that”
Many thanks to all those who supported Kyle and contributed to his defense. More thanks to those who will stand up for truth.
Thank goodness! Really can I say anymore than that?
Today is a beautiful day in America.
We were all on trial, and at least this time over justice prevailed.
Rittenhouse NOT guilty, MSNBC, NBC, AP, PBS and their readers/watchers hardest hit
Are you kidding? They will get ratings booms from this for all of their wailing and gnashing of teeth coverage and liberals will lop it up like trumporn all over again.
They’ve been waiting for this, but I hope all of the lawsuits are worth it because I expect them to keep coming.
I’d also like to see gofundme sued into oblivion too.
Yes!
Rittenhouse is free and self-defense as a concept for all of us in the country is still safe.
Perhaps Juror 54 wanted to just go over the jury instructions one last time to satisfy herself that she was making the right verdict.
I hope that the prosecutors are dealt with for their garbage stunts they pulled during the trial.
Gaige Grosskreutz can kiss any hope of a $10 million dollar settlement goodbye.
I do hope Kenosha doesn’t suffer for this verdict from the left throwing a tantrum.
I hope Kenosha has or will elect leaders that will reflect the stones that a jury of their peers just showed by standing up to a bunch of loony bin jackholes with no positive contribution to society.
The settlement went poof when he made certain admissions on the stand.
Good answer.
Sad it came to an actual trial and glad the young man was vindicated in his actions (legally – morally he’s been in the clear from the word “go”).
Now let’s refer Curly and Barney to the bar for some sorely needed discipline
Wonderful!
The judge clearly said he was dismissed with prejudice. Does that mean that the feds cannot go after him on some BS charges? Maybe that is just standard?
unfortunately, the judge has no power over the feds. expect the DOJ to go after him on domestic terrorism charges fortwith.
Nope. Separate sovereigns. But unlikely, I think. Because the three assailants/victims were all white.
I have family contacting me from across the country with this news. So, so happy for Kyle!!! Justice was served!
Now get the prosecution.
Now, pray for the innocent folks in Kenosha who will have to suffer further at the deranged minds of Antifa, BLM and others who will flock to the protests of this just and correct verdice.
If riots happen again, they all deserve a good ass whuppin’. Didn’t Binger say that we all have to expect a good beatdown once in a while?
Kraus actually…and I hope he was one coming….within the law.
TOUGH.
Unless they get their armed asses out there where Kyle was, en masse, they deserve everything they voted for.
There’s a word for people who always expect others to do all the heavy lifting.
In fact, several.
Binger, the tyrannical liar who tried to railroad a great teenager. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits.
That saying usually referred to “his mother’s armpits” but that would bother him, so your version is better, lol
hm… I always heard the way Wolverine posted it… Never heard about mother’s armpits
And may his a$$hole grow together.
This is such a clear case of self defense that this should never have gotten to this point, but thank God anyway that the jury reached the correct verdict.
I sincerely hope that Kyle will be able to put this behind him and that, as has happened to others, he will not be hounded by the mob. All peace to you, Kyle and your family!
If we had protected the 2a like we have the 5a, we wouldn’t be here. So we must continue to fight, to get all of the Amendments the same status as 5a, but especially 1a and 2a!
Tremendous Justice for this fine young man!
God Bless the 2nd Amendment!
A question for the lawyers here, can Garland charge Kyle with anything after his acquittal and the dismissal with prejudice?
He can, but it shouldn’t go very far. The 7th circuit is largely conservative. And, it’s a tough case to say that Kyle infringed on anyone’s civil rights when he was cleared of all charges due to a self defense claim. Attacking someone while taking part in a riot is not really a protected civil right.
Besides all of his assailants/victims were white. That makes it difficult to bring under other Civil Rights Act. The feds can’t bring murder charges, because that is mostly a state power, and a general murder statute would not be justifiable under the Commerce Clause. Killing a federal agent, etc, is a different question (but that didn’t happen).
I don’t know the answer, but given that Obama’s AG didn’t go after Zimmerman or the cop that killed Michael Brown in self-defense, I can’t imagine they could make a case out of this.
From my cold, dead hands!
When do the disbarrment proceedings begin against these two prosecutors? Because that can’t happen soon enough–they are an absolute menace and a threat to the criminal justice system.
Thank you Lord Jesus
Thankfully, logical and obvious justice prevailed!
Is the “unknown male” the one known as JumpKick Guy? My understanding is that he is a criminal who is known to the prosecution. Supposedly, he offerred to testify and the prosecution declined.
Now then: the National Guard and the Kenosha police absolutely cannot put up with any nonsense tonight. True peaceful protest — sure, no problem. Violence of any kind? Arrest the perpetrators, every one, hold them, high amounts (think January 6th) of bail, and get them into court.
We either have the rule of law or we don’t. Now is a good time to find out.
Violence of any kind? Crack their fucking skulls.
Yeah, maybe Kyle should sit THIS ONE out, lol
Kyle will stay out of riots.
HALLELUJAH! Next steps: 1) Give the prosecutors what they deserve for their disgraceful behavior 2) go after the jury intimidators. I hope they’ve got security for the jury members whose lives are all in danger now.
Sweeeeeeeeet!!
And, remember, in a criminal case, only the guilty get a fair trial.
Karen lost… FJB&K
What wonderful news! In light of the political sentencing of a “mostly peaceful” protestor to 41 mo. in prison, I was starting to think a fair trial was no longer possible. While this was also a political prosecution, the jury was able to see completely through it to the facts!
A comment on the judge: He’s taken a lot of flak throughout the trial, with people unhappy at his deferral of many decisions and motions.
He made two important points during the trial. At the very start he pointed out that the eyes of the country (and the world) were on this trial, and that people expected to see justice.
Throughout the trial he put his faith in the jury, and repeatedly avoided making decisions that they should be trusted with, and said explicitly that this was what he was doing.
He left open multiple options for intervening in the result of the case, but was always waiting for the jury to reach a verdict.
Now they have. They’ve reached a verdict of not guilty on all charges. They’ve done this despite the Brady violations, despite the prosecutors’ behaviour leading to the judge telling them he believed they did not act in good faith, despite the prosecutor gravely violating the defendant’s constitutional rights, despite the miraculously found evidence, despite the inexplicably fuzzy picture, despite the prosecutors changing their arguments mid-case, despite all the shenanigans and nonsense, and despite the obvious risks to which this exposes them, their city and their families.
Despite all of that, not guilty. It’s hard to see how the judge could’ve assured a more thorough and indisputable verdict. Give him credit for that.
That last comment, K represents the Karen juror, not Kyle…
Actually, Karen the juror came through. She could have thrown all sorts of shoes into the works, but she chose not to.
I told everyone here in the last couple of days that everyone was being too much of a negative Debbie Downer. I had full confidence in the defense. Contrary to Legal Insurrection’s opinion, I think the defense did a very good job
Going to give a pass and not call shots….this is a good day.
I think we were all a little beaten and had developed a heightened sense of dread after the quick rush to a guilty judgment in the Chauvin trial.
By the way, those people are cowards and Minnesota deserves every piece of garbage it has reaped and will be coming its way, including Omar the illegal!
In our defense, some of us felt outlandishly burned by the Chauvin jury, whose defense did an even slightly better job.
Wonderful News! I
am so happy for Kyle, his family….and America!!
Biden will pardon the prosecution instead of turkeys next week
Now, the fun begins.
1. Tune into MSNBC and all the other lib MFM outlets who now have to explain to their audiences how this could happen since they’ve been telling them for over a year this was clear cut murder committed by a MAGA hat wearing white supremacist. I hope it approaches the hilarity of the disbelief when Scott Walker won in WI.
2. Watch the squad implode, particularly the angry black chicks.
3. Gun Owners of America should ask Antifa/#BLM where they plan to rampage next. Sort of like asking a band for their tour schedule. No reason, really, just curious.
4. L.A. Times just printed an op-ed saying that Schroeder chose the wrong solution for bad coverage of the trial. They’re trying to keep their comatose readership sedated by lying to them that Schroeder banned MSNBC because he didn’t like their coverage, as opposed to the fact that MSNBC/NBC attempted to dox/intimidate the jurors by exposing their identities. Thanks, L.A. Times, for reminding me of all the deliberate lies the MFM told about Rittenhouse. So, when does Rittenhouse kick off lawsuitpalooza? There’s no amount of money those bastards don’t owe this guy. Hopefully, they’ll have to pay more than what they’re insured for and at least some will be bankrupted.
4. Cherry on top? Defamation suit against Biden. Sure, he probably can’t be sued while in office. But look at the doddering, drooling, old soulless ghoul. How long can it be until he’s out of office?
I’m sure there are more upsides I can think of but that’ll do for now.
He has speech writers that basically make his brain work for him. I’m sure they have executive privilege but even prying up a name from the cabal currently in the WH would be a useful exercise of exposing the illegal deeds going on in the nation’s capital right now.
Actually, Slow Joe called him a White Supremasist during the campaign last year and taunted DJT for not doing the same.
Doubt he has executive privilege to hide behind since it was said on the campaign trail before he was elected.
Lawsuits must go forward for defamation …
Yes. I can count to five. But upon finding out KR has been fully vindicated I was as giddy as a 6 y.o. on Christmas morning finding out I got a BB gun, a puppy, AND a pony.
Just waiting for the potted plant in the White House to come out with yet another defamatory comment about the injustice of this, or some other nonsense.
November 2022 can’t come soon enough for the red wave.
Ron Coleman, legal insurrections lawyer, is on Rikieta law on YouTube right now.
Ron said not to get hopes up for him recovering affirmative relief. He’s a nice guy, funny and smart.. but I sure hope he is wrong… this time..
https://twitter.com/RonColeman/status/1457807086348292102
Thanks to Legal Insurrection for …once again… doing a superb job. I started with you with the Zimmerman case and it’s been a great time ever since.
If any jurors get demonstrations publicly against them or their house, I volunteer to stand guard and help protect them (only if the state won’t do its job with police protection). Anyone with me??
What despicable people the prosecutors are, to have put Rittenhouse through this–the video of him hearing the verdict is hard to watch
so hard. you could see when his strength started going, and hope started entering his heart. And then to see the complete loss of muscle function. He is going to be a physical wreck for a few days after that.
Fox has a ticker up”waiting for WH statement”
F-kers
Potus had a colonoscopy.. He may not be of sound mind.. just now.
I doubt anyone would notice the difference.
Yup… It was very subtle satire…
It’s going to be several hours before anybody can get a hand back up there.
The colonoscopy was to discover where his mind went.
Wher sis the video of him hearing the verdict?
I found several on youtube
It’s in the original post above the comments.
A good day for Kyle Rittenhouse and the criminal justice system. Let no one forget the stage was set in Kenosha when the governor refused to use the National Guard in sufficient numbers to restore order when local and state police could not or would not. Wisconsin failed last year in fulfilling the basic role of government: the maintenance of order and the protection of lives and property. When order breaks down and the crazies come out, the people will protect themselves by whatever means necessary.
Thanks to the folks at legal insurrection for telling the truth about this case from the beginning.
Yes! And a HUGE THANK YOU to Andrew for his no nonsense, clear coverage of all these trials.
I don’t even consider going to any other source when trials like this are in the offing.
Well done, sir!
Yes!
Now we get to binge on Aubery?
Beautiful! Thank you Lord!
Now:
1) Indict all those at the riots, including Grosskreutz and Mr. “Known” Male…apparently the FBI has HD video and can find out who like they did to the 500 arrested for wandering around the Capitol.
2) Sanction the Prosecution.
3) KR needs to file lawsuits against everyone from the prosecution/DA, the WI governor, the MSM…and all the way up to Mr. MAGU (Make America Grovel and Useless).
No sh*t about those lawsuits: I really think Biden has exposure.
Why wouldn’t he, right? Goes on national media and states KR is a white supremacist, seems pretty cut and dry to me. ADA Blinkin and his sidekick better be heading for their ice fishing huts far from anywhere.
I see
How’s that 70’s show go?
“Thank you Wisconsin “
I hope they have police protection for Kyle, his family, the defense lawyers and the jury.
Voters in Virginia…jurors in Wisconsin…the counterrevolution continues.
Literally cried seeing Kyle’s collapse and reaction to verdict….the utter hell he has been thru conveyed in 7 seconds. Any after hearing the evidence and seeing that reaction that still want that kid thrown into the social justice meatgrinder for their own profit and power gains…are far far worse and more truly evil then we previously believed them to be.
Me too, I am a half glass full gap and thought for sure there were real Karen’s on that jury
Shame on me
The jury bailed out the judge, and thumbed their noses at the ethically-challenged prosecutors.
Unfortunately the war is not over. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Feds make threatening noises – or even cook up some bogus charges of their own.
No, the judge gave Rittenhouse the best possible result: Not Guilty despite everything.
Oh, and then the charges were dismissed with prejudice. Is that normal following a Not Guilty verdict?
Hearing the first not guilty, and the next and the next and the next… I honestly started crying tears of joy, and I’m a grown-ass manly man.
So congratulations Kyle. Very sorry that you will have to deal with this the rest of your (hopefully) long and fulfilling life.
The first one was the most important, like Branca said.
Hallelujah!
What a relief. I knew what a just result would be, but I also know an intimidated jury can go awry.
FYI, a quick tour of the MFM sites indicate that they plan on dealing with this news by continuing to lie to the morons who think they are getting real news. For instance The Hill is reporting that KR was acquitted of killing and wounding protesters at demonstrations.
As if that is what happened.
Hopefully KR can make bank by teaching these @$$holes that, yes, Virginia, there is a downside to lying.
Now it’s time for more trials… of the social media companies and others who called Rittenhouse a mass murderer. I believe that is known as libel per se.
I’m so glad the jury came to the right conclusion here, but I hope that Binger and Kraus get some feedback from the Bar for their conduct in this case.
Can’t improve on the comments above but must note my relief. Stay vigilant. The evil Left does not give up. They must be crushed. This bullet may have been dodged but the sniper is still out there.
Justice served, thank goodness this was done in the open, without the filters on the mainstream media to paint the narrative
I’m loving that Kraus and Binger jeopardized their law licenses when they cheated during this trial: suborning perjury, denying the defense evidence, hiding witnesses, etc, and got nothing for it in the end. Now, I’m hoping Judge Schroeder’s “there will be a reckoning” comment will be fulfilled.
There is no way these two jackasses haven’t behaved in court that way before. This was just the first time they were caught doing it in front of lots of people.
Very skeptical anything will happen to them, I want to be so wrong. What they did is criminal in my eyes.
Wonder what the line is in Vegas for rioting after dark tonight in Kenosha, Milwaukee, Chicago, Minneapolis? Or perhaps that is a given occurrence. Perhaps an over/under on total damages in each city?
I hereby nominate Kyle Rittenhouse as the Director of the FBI!
I was thinking Congress… but,, I want him to have a happy life. He is interested in a medical career. Bless and keep him.
PRAISE THE LORD!
Kudos again on your superlative coverage
that one picture of Roberts looking relieved tells you that he was over his head. Attorney on over at Rekeita law just said, the defense won is spite of itself… Wow
They won, case closed.
Dear Legal Insurrection,
Can you please provide the same coverage for the persecution of the McMichaels and Bryan?
It is another attempt to force mob justice on Normals protecting their community.
Thanks.
Not so sure about their innocence, now that we have the case going. From the Rekeita panel, Nate has been following this closely and it sounds like the McMichaels didn’t adhere to the law and are screwed. I don’t know about Bryan.
The state’s whole arguement in the McMichaels case is that they didn’t have a right to make a citizens arrest because its not reasonable to suspect that a prowler has the intent to steal something, and there is no right to arrest someone who commits a crime in your presence if they make an escape and it takes you 10 days to catch them. About as rediculious as Binger’s agruement that you can use a weapon to defend yourself from an attempted murder if the murder is armed as well as you are.
About as rediculious as Binger’s agruement that you can use a weapon to defend yourself from an attempted murder if the murder is armed as well as you are.Need to proof read before I post. lol
About as rediculious as Binger’s agruement that you can’t use a weapon to defend yourself from an attempted murder unless the murder is armed as well as you are. Third time is charm.
This is from Nate just a few minutes ago:
“Court rules Defendants must have either witnessed the crime OR it occurred in the defendants presence for a lawful citizen arrest.
Defendant already conceded that they did not. ”
Sorry, the defendants screwed up. This is not like the BS Binger was peddling. They’re going to jail and it sounds like the defense might be looking for a deal to keep that jail time lower than if it went to a jury.
I got what you were saying, I wish this site had an edit button.
I’m sure Branca will go back to covering the case on his LOSD blog, he only stopped covering it for this trial. Although it will probably be behind the normal paywall his blog has.
He should be disbarred.
Trump-DeSantis in 2024!!!!
Ole’ for 54. Ole for the Judge. Ole’ for Kenosha, Ole’ Ole’
Feeling Hot Hot Hot!
Too bad about those settlements for the famblys.
Black Friday sales come a week early!!!
Now: justice for Derrick Chauvin.
MSNBC is doubling down that he was guilty but it couldn’t be proven. Dirt bags!!
Hyenas can not change their spots. Or their stench.
“Not Guilty…and now would representatives for the media please follow the bailiff to the waiting area in the parking lot where the tigers and crockadiles are arriving so that you can be torn apart and consumed on national television”
crocodiles, sorry.
Bravo Kyle. You’ve been through hell.. twice.
Andrew, I caught you on Rekieta Law just after the verdict was announced. Your comment on Kyle Rittenhouse engraved AR-15 Lowers coming soon was priceless! But why not full rifles? I can see it now, “Four Doors, More Whores” engraved on the barrel, and engrave the safety selector “Safe” and “Havvvvockk!” You could also advertise shipping that is “Free As F*ck! when you buy the Kenosha Model with the Gaige Grosskreutz Commenmorative Arm Brace.”
Kidding aside, I am genuinely surprised at this verdict, in a good way. I was convinced that the current tide of wokeness in this country would force a hung jury. I’m so happy to be wrong, and my faith is partially restored in my fellow citizens.
For those envisioning massive payouts to Kyle for defamation by media outlets, I hate to be a wet blanket, but officials of the State of Wisconsin had so thoroughly defamed Kyle in the months prior to trial, it would be difficult for Rittenhouse to show he was primarily damaged by media reports. Unfair, but probably the reality.
This old man wants a Go Pro an a Coach Gun in case i ever have to go to a Blue City .
“the Kenosha Model with the Gaige Grosskreutz Commenmorative Arm Brace.”
I never give spit takes, but you dunnit.
His lawyer Richards is being interviewed right now
He said Kyle is in counseling for PTSD
HIPPA?
I am pleased.
Richards is dissing the “first 2 lawyers” for Kyle
Richards can say whatever he wants now – he gets a pass, because he got the acquittals. Might have been messy, unprofessional, and lucky as fu_k, but he took the shot, and hit the target.
He took a lot of flak during the trial, and he’s allowed to cash in however many “i told you sos” he wants.
Congratulations to the defense.
