Did Rittenhouse's face actually get wet when he cried? Because I didn't see any tears.

Anyone else notice that?

1. No, I didn't see any.

I saw some well practiced hysterics, but no actual tears. It was a "dry cry" from my perspective, but I might be mistaken. Someone in the courtroom would be a better judge.

They've practiced this for weeks, if not months, so he should have been coached - like any actor - how to cry on demand.

2. As I've said before- I'll be shocked if he's convicted

I understand there are other charges but even if he gets convicted on one of those he’ll get next to nothing.

11. I agree, unfortunately.

The kid is completely without remorse or empathy, which is why he couldn't summon actual tears during his ridiculous display of coached hysterics. He's going to be a larger problem later in life.

9. I didn't see any of that.

All I’ve seen him do is smirk, the little creep.

13. Excellent display of his "acting chops".

Just a lot of facial distortion (same with his mother in the courtroom) but not a single tear to be seen. Your nasal passages also contract when you have an actual empathetic reaction, which is why people always blow their noses after a good cry. Nothing going on there, either. All in all, you did not pass the audition, Kyle. But I still thenk he'll get away with it.

5. Yep. Lotsa sobs. Deep gasps. No tears.

Oh, and yes he did take a sly, quick glance at the jury. Are they buying his academy award performance? On cue the judge ordered a break so the performance could end ….allow Kyle to regain his - Uhm — composure. Let the jury “think” about what they just witnessed. Good strategy by the defense. Not so good for Justice.

6. Best performance by a bottom lip that I have ever seen.

I thought for sure it was going to inflate and turn into a hot air balloon and help him make an escape.

8. Nary a drop

no tears, and the glance at the jury.

Overly coached bad actor.
