In reply to the discussion: Rittenhouse Trial [View all]Sympthsical
(11,019 posts)I'm genuinely asking.
I've been watching the trial daily (work from home privilege). The characterizations of this judge are so off the rails, it's unfathomable to me. I have seen where he rules in favor of the defense. I have seen where he rules in favor of the prosecution.
If Rittenhouse is convicted of lesser charges, it will solely be because the judge allowed that scenario to happen. He allowed the prosecution to get lesser charges and provocation into the jury instructions. It's a disastrous decision for the defense.
Where is the acknowledgement of this?
I think, should the Narrative fall apart, there will have to be a villain to buttress the Narrative. The Narrative can never be wrong. So we must find something else. In this case, it's the judge.
Not facts. Not evidence. Not the prosecution bungling things. No, it has to be this judge now.
I can only say it is a very, very, very good thing we don't have trial by social media.
