Kyle Rittenhouse Found Not Guilty After Killing Two In USA by davodyguy(op): 7:44pm On Nov 19, 2021
Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager accused of killing two people and shooting another during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer was found not guilty on all charges, and the state prosecution cannot appeal, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said.

"The law in Wisconsin is very favorable to a defendant claiming self-defense. The prosecution has to affirmatively disprove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. If the jury went back there and had some reasonable doubt, then they were to return a not guilty verdict, and that it appears is what they have done," Honig said.

Kyle Rittenhouse began to cry as the verdict was read and he learned he had been acquitted on all charges in the Kenosha County Circuit Court. He appeared to collapse into his chair and hugged attorney Corey Chirafisi.

Before the verdict was read, Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder said, “There can’t be any reaction at all, no matter how strongly you may feel and it’s understood that many people do have strong feelings, but we can’t permit any kind of reaction to the verdict.”

Judge Bruce Schroeder told the jurors that he "couldn't have asked for a better jury to work with" during the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who killed two people and shot one other.

The jury acquitted Rittenhouse of all charges on Friday, after about a three-week process.

"All of you – I couldn't have asked for a better jury to work with, and it has truly been my pleasure. I think without commenting on your verdict... the verdict themselves, just in terms of your attentiveness and the cooperation that you gave to us justifies the confidence that the founders of our country placed in you," he said.

He also reminded jurors that they are never under any obligation to discuss any aspects of the case. He said some media outlets have requested to talk to members of the jury, and the jurors can decide if they want to accept that invitation.

"You're welcome to do so as little or as much as you want," Schroeder said.

I hope those that he killed are not black, because these whites can be funny

Systematic racism. Someone was crying to be relieved so he can breathe but police still knelt on his neck until he died.


Someone killed two people and claimed self defense.

For those following the Kyle Rittenhouse trial keenly, he's just been found not guilty on all 5 counts.

Here's the background.
During a protest last year, months after George Floyd was killed, this 17 year old shot fatally 3 people, two died and 1 survived.

Hence, he's a murderer, but he's been found not guilty on the claim that it was self defense. (He was attacked first)

We can learn a thing or two from the American Criminal justice system.

Did he kill people? Yes he did

Was he set free after killing people? Yes

Why was he set free after admitting he killed two people? Prosecutors failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that it was not self defense

In America, if someone attacks you first, you've the right to kill that person and claim you acted in self defense.

Note, Kyle Rittenhouse was 17 years when he killed people, but now 18 years old.

Glory be to God in the Highest!!

Our brother in Jesus Christ Kyle Rittenhouse is free!

Black Lifes Matter is in the gun sites of Gods people.

Christians Rejoice!!!

The hour to enact the Lords vengeance is come!

My country Amelika.

ok why bring a gun to a protest ground?

There's no way you're going to explain it to me that this isn't "White privilege"

You're dumb. A white kid shot 3 armed white men in self defence and you are calling it racism. How?

He didn't. He was protecting a car shop from the riotingmob who had burned 100 cars there the previous night. There was no police, so the owner asked a few of them to help guard what was left of his car dealership. Don't let CNN ruin your life.

Look at the smart ass calling someone dumb.

Another shouting Jesus. What about Mohamed?

These are the vigilantees that introduced religions to pacify and capture you for life.

Trump exposed all of them. They are on their second mission to capture you again. This time, not by chaining you inside slave ships but by you paying your life savings on 707 to Libya or Belarus.

for those that does not know the story just shut Up. he was protecting the shop and the guy that escape with a gun wound, was holding a short gun. and the other 2 was trying to drag the gun of him.
and for those that don't know, the guy was at the age range to hold a gun in his state, but the state he came to protect age limit was above his age. that why he was still in prison till now and 2 was to calm the protest that was going on

I'm so happy for this guy.

If not for video evidence, the evil CNN would have kept twisting the story until the poor guy would be sentenced to prison.

I normally don't rate CNN, but after this guy's case. I placed CNN in the same league with Sahara reporters, lindaikejiblog, and other upcoming blog sites. Self acclaimed news media that I do have no regard for.
