I agree it was a terrible mistake, but while I think based on the law, a conviction was the right decision, as the innocent verdict was with Rittenhouse -- in fact, what Rittenhouse did was far more egregious -- I also believe the judge should go easy on the sentence. The problem for her was that while the victim did resist arrest, he never in any way threatened the lives of the officers so that use of deadly force was not required.
