DaveW,
Watched just a few minutes of that video.
What the guy on the right had to say ABOUT RITTENHOUSE TRIAL was extremely powerful.
(my paraphrase)
Quote:
Everybody is complaining that the court bent over backwards to protect the accused.
THAT'S THE COURT'S JOB!
To protect the rights of the accused.

Must admit that, in my anxiety over the obvious overlooking of crimes, I forget that the accused should be given every possible break.
NOT SAYING that a guy holding up a liquor store at gunpoint with absolute proof (i.e. video) should be acquitted - in fact, just the opposite.
But, I too, saw Rittenhouse from the standpoint of "Why was he THERE with an assault rifle to begin with?"
I did not see it as, "Let's hear his story."
Thanks for that video.
