Well the gun possession violation charge is off the table, so if they consider self defense on any of the charges he may get off.
Interesting how the prosecutor said that the guy wasn't trying to take Rittenhouse's weapon, even though he got powder burns on his hand, where the bullet went through it. If he wasn't reaching for the gun, then how did he get a powder burn? Something to consider. The arsonist that first shot his pistol that scattered the crowd is a witness for the prosecutor, but the prosecutor said for the jury to disregard the fact that he is being charged with arson. Makes one wonder what the prosecutor is offering him for his testimony. They showed the video where the guy threw something at Rittenhouse and chased him, but the prosecutor says that does not give him the right to defend himself. Wow!
So far, if I was on the jury I would still say not guilty by reason of self-defense.
NOT GUILTY.
