Prosecutors crash and burn in Kyle Rittenhouse case, but polarized America doesn’t see it

Rittenhouse is not to be judged for society s historical racism, and such history does not change the underlying facts.

Either Grosskreutz (who is white) was pointing the gun at Rittenhouse s head or he was not. Either Rosenbaum (who was white) was grabbing the barrel of Rittenhouse s gun or he was not. Such facts do not change through CRT translations.

Many in the media rightly criticized those who encouraged riots on Jan. 6 with unsupported claims of electoral fraud. However, some of the same media figures offer distorted accounts of this trial. The narrative can overwhelm the facts.

Moreover, if left uninformed of the real legal deficiencies in the case, that narrative is likely to control the response to any failure to convict.

These protests are part of a larger debate on racism in our country. However, this trial is about the actions of one individual   not society   in 2020. Those actions are increasingly favoring acquittal on the most serious charges.

Prof. Turley is one of the very few bright spots in this whole, uh, show. The coverage by CNN etc. is just malignantly biased and awful. Judge Schroeder seems to be doing a good job on this thankless task.
