Based on all evidence presented, yes. I think almost anyone could come to that conclusion. The only real issue was whether there were some unknown intricacies to the law and that doesn't seem to be the case.

Why wouldn't they? It's a guaranteed win if they get it rather than relying on the jury.

That's disingenuous. People have been talking about the judge's very selective dismissal of the evidence that doesn't favor Rittenhouse from the start, before the trial started.And of course the defense is asking for a 'mistrial with prejudice', that favors their client.

I disagree. Yes, Kyle being found not guilty would be better but, if I were him, I go with the sure thing every time. Even if they were 99% certain they would win, I'd still try for the mistrial.
Fair enough. As I said, legally it's the smart move, even if dirty. Just looks bad, especially in a case of this notoriety.
