After watching this trial it is obvious that Kyle also killed Biggie and Tupac.

Seems like a bad comparison, one that assumes motives and mind sets remain consistent at all times.
Well let's not just right him off quite yet. He's fairly young, & has plenty of life to form a cult, & go on a self indulgent, murdering spree.

Seems like he has unknowingly already become a culture leader.

Gun charge dismissed
That was everything for the prosecution.
The gun charge was all they had.
State law had a refusal of rights & case built on carrying as "inciting", nullifying his right to carry.

They now have nothing, as they did from the beginning, never should've been charged or harassed.
There's never been a clearer more documented & witnessed example of self-defense recorded. It's now a perfect case study with the remainder simply academic setting precedent.

The good news is everyone is pretty safe with there being no sights on it.
I was compelled to click on that picture to verify not so much as a barrel iron sight.
What a show. In the old west the courtroom would've erupted in laughter at the display of holding a rifle and squinting his blind eye to look down the....nothing.
The theatrics is hard to bear.

I do believe they're left with only drama at this point.

I think there were only two real things that made defense questionable:

1> The first shooting. If the first shooting is a bad shoot then everybody else is simply chasing a criminal. No further shooting is justified.

2> If he is there with an illegal weapon in the commission of another crime such as a felony perhaps some sort of law could combine the deaths as unjustified due to the commission of a crime.

The first one seems to have come very clear once there was continued witnesses and videos before the case even got started.

The second one takes a lawyer to know if there's anything there and I would never put it past a prosecutor to continue for the trial due to a detailed understanding of the law that I could not fathom.

Once it became clear that the first guy had earlier interaction with Rittenhouse and was advancing on him I think that closed out this case. And surely the prosecutor knew trying to link the deaths with gun charges would fail.

What do you think Rittenhouse is writing? I assume he was coached to do that. I saw him flip to a new page and the previous page only had one or two lines that he had written on it.
