#3 Prediction:
Rittenhouse will be convicted on whatever flimsy charges the prosecution ends up with. Rather than getting caught up in the tradition after-acquittal festivities, the jurors will kick the can down the road. Rittenhouse will win the appeal, but that will take years.

#4 Gun charge just got tossed. Judge says jury isn't allowed to speculate on provocation, they either see it or don't. He's basically unpantsing the state's case before final arguments begin.

#5 Happy to hear but why wasn't the gun charge tossed at the outset?

#6 The judge's reputation is for being careful and giving wide latitude to juries. The technical argument on the rifle's barrel length was something the state hemmed and hawed about until today.

#7 This could be a double-edged sword... What if the jury includes a few diehard anti-gun nuts who are determined to bail Kyle on something / anything?

Not having this lesser charge option deprives the normal jurors of a compromise option.

Might be a hung jury, mistrial and then the poor lad's back in the soup
