Chief Justice Jeffreys-There is nothing more to be said,
except the passing of sentence.
Peter Blood-May it please Your Lordship,
but there’s a deal more to be said!
Bailiff-Silence!
Chief Justice Jeffreys-How now, fellow?
Peter Blood-There is the little matter of my defense.
Chief Justice Jeffreys-Very well, then…
but in heaven’s name, be brief, man.
We have much to do.

KENOSHA, WI—Leftists are sounding the alarm that Kyle Rittenhouse—a notorious slayer of white communist pedophiles—may escape punishment through a little-known legal loophole known as a “trial.”
“This is very concerning,” said Chip Cordray, progressive legal expert covering the case. “Using this obscure loophole, Rittenhouse’s fate will be decided by an impartial jury of peers based on evidence, rather than the whims of noble communist revolutionaries on Twitter—such as Bette Midler and Joe Biden.”
Experts confirm that if Rittenhouse is found “not guilty,” liberals won’t be getting their way, which could lead to massive temper-tantrums, such as arson and looting.
Go here to read the rest.
Kudos to @AnaKasparian for acknowledging that, as she actually watched the trial, she realized that the narrative she was fed by corporate media about the Rittenhouse case was wildly different than the fact. And this before the most important evidence:pic.twitter.com/4U5lIYgIFA

I read elsewhere that the judge gave an instruction which may allow the jury to hang its hat on “provocation” and thereby nullify the self defense argument. A drone’s eye view supposedly showed Rittenhouse pointing his gun in a provocative manner before he was chased and attacked. Let’s hope they render a just and fair verdict.
I see that the provocation instruction was addressed in another TAC post. I should have posted my above comment there if at all.
