What Kyle is feeling right now...

They were not sequestered, which was a mistake. At a minimum, they should have been sequestered once deliberations began.

(Fictional) Violence in TV and movies is the same as a riot, LOL! That's simply a bad analogy. Even MMA is a joke of a comparison. You're a fucking moron.

The weapon charge relates to the NFA of 1934. Either the barrel was under 16" or it was not. Easy to determine with a tape measure. But of course nothing stops ignorant people from spewing their opinion, yourself included.

True, which surprised me as well when it was done.

Under Wisconsin law, anyone under 18 who possesses a dangerous weapon is guilty of a misdemeanor, unless they fall under an exception, such as for hunting, military service or target practice.

For months, Rittenhouse's attorneys have pointed to one of those exceptions — one that is confusingly worded — that they argued allows 16- and 17-year-olds to carry rifles and shotguns as long as they are not unlawfully short-barreled.

Rittenhouse’s AR-15-style rifle was not short-barreled.

Conversely, prosecutors contended that if the exception was interpreted that way, it would "swallow the whole statute" and wouldn't make any sense. Under that interpretation, prosecutors said, the law would criminalize possession of nunchucks by a 17-year-old, but allow them to carry loaded assault-style rifles.

Ultimately, Judge Bruce Schroeder dismissed the possession charge on Monday, a victory for the defense who had for months been asking him to do so. Up until that point, Schroeder had declined to toss the charge, though he said it should have been clear he had "big problems" with the statute.

Schroeder said he had been "wrestling" with the statute for a while, calling it unclear.

"I'd hate to count the hours that I’ve put into it, and I’m still trying to figure out what it says, what is prohibited," he said Friday. "How are ordinary people supposed to know what’s against the law?"

On Friday, Schroeder said he would instruct the jury that Rittenhouse could not be convicted of the weapon possession charge unless the state proved his rifle had an unlawfully short barrel – something the state had presented no evidence for.

On Monday, prosecutors stood by their interpretation of the statute as outlawing Rittenhouse from carrying a firearm that night, but acknowledged that Rittenhouse's rifle was not short-barreled. The judge then immediately dismissed the charge.


Imo he probably should've been at least just charged with that but now that he is found acquitted of ALL charges, there is going to rage to the judge, jurors, and Kyle himself.
