From what I noticed on social media, there are people who formed their opinion by watching the trial, and those who formed their opinion from big media talking points.
My opinion of the case has changed somewhat by watching parts of the trial.

Much of the expert training advice I've seen suggests either two shots to center of mass and then stop long enough to evaluate. If the threat is still active, shoot for the cranium. That was apparently old advice. A police officer friend (who has survived two shootouts) told me his advice is to fire two shots to center-of-mass and one shot to the "snot locker" (his words, not mine), THEN stop and evaluate.

Reporting linked at Branca's blog that there are 2 jurors holding out due to concerns for their safety, family, jobs:

Can the judge replace those jurors with alternates . If the only reason you won’t vote your true feelings is because you fear repercussions ? That should be a good enough reason for dismissal??? It's not that they believe he's guilty ,they'd rather vote guilty and have him go to jail only because of fear .

If the authorities know that some jurors are considering rendering a verdict that is based on something other than the facts of the case, that's a huge problem. If anyone associated with that trial in any sort of official capacity becomes aware that there are jurors who are going to submit a verdict that is not based on facts of the case, things will immediately and very publicly grind to a halt. What I'm saying is that if there are no public actions taken in the morning, I think we can safely assume that this report is someone exercising their creativity.

I heard the 2 or 3 hold outs have become a team or are sticking together . Maybe not tactically but rather for support . When they came in to be dismissed for the night they all sat together .
I'd say if any of this is true or the fact there are leaks of what the jury is doing means the jurors that have concerns have a legitimate claim in my view . Again if true we know WAY more then we should .

Heard a new thing the prosecution did or did not do . Turns out they knew who jump kick man was all along . Apparently he came forward to the prosecution and asked for immunity for all his pending charges ( not related to the night of the 25th ) for his testimony . This is new so not sure how accurate .
It appears they withheld his identity from the defense .

Good grief, the rain of manure just keeps getting deeper.

The judge commented that in his years on the bench he hadn't seen that. That seems like the wrong answer, since I doubt he has ever had such a high profile case involving a riot an a 17 year old successfully defending himself from a mob. He didn't literally laugh it off, but was dismissive of the concern.

From reporting I've seen, the judge has gotten some very specific threats against his children so I doubt he is dismissive any longer.
I really fear that somewhere along the way we have allowed the mob to take control. |

I was at a Chinese restaurant and read a fortune from a fortune cookie; it said "beware judgements of those who carry sticks."
An obvious portend of mass mayhem and death threats to anyone involved in the Rittenhouse trial. I'm retreating to my bunker and preparing for the worst.

Another motion to dismiss with prejudice.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...e-defense.html How come we have to get our news on this from England? Where are these Nervous Jury reports coming from? I can see the jury querying the judge but how does it get publicized? |

You left the part out where the child rapist said, "I'm going to kill you."

The real question should be, why would some idiot try to attack a guy with an AR?

Is anyone in need of a laugh for the day? I looked up the web site of the Kenosha County district attorney's office.

It has been reported that the Antifa and BLM boys are right outside the court house with Bull horns shouting “no justice, no peace” – “if Kenosha don’t get it, burn it down,” , and the jury supposedly can hear this.
It is interesting how the city of Kenosha did not form a perimeter around the courthouse keeping the mob away from the steps. There is a park across the street which was previously used for protests as the police guarded the building. However, today, for some seemingly curious reason, the local authorities are allowing the protesting mob and their bullhorns to conduct their agitation activity on the steps to the courthouse. https://youtu.be/bsSvIx7CfhI |

They WANT the jury to be intimidated into convicting. Those were two of their constituents who were killed.
