Rittenhouse Trial

[Amishman]

62. The weak case under law probably is why

I've posted on it numerous time recently; but to summarize, when you dig into the actual statutes and compare against the evidence, there isn't much to support the charges. WI law allows self defense in almost all situations if the person fled / retreated first - which he did. The only exception is if their intent when provoking was to use it as an excuse to cause harm - the problem here is intent is extremely hard to prove in court and it does not appear the prosecution has come close.
