IDK when it starts exactly, but here's my prediction. The State is going to spin a yarn, and tell a story on how Kyle was provoking the people he shot, and the will emphasize that provocation nullifies self-defense. Which in Washington State Law it does. Then the defense will go over all the technicalities, and emphasize the evidence presented which shows clearly it was a case of self defense. However they will tell it in not an engaging manner and bore the jury.
Personally i hope the jury isn't intimidated by the fucking threats of riots and mayhem and has a basic understanding of the law, so they will acquit. If the Jury is compromised they may hand down a guilty verdict, and if they do i hope the Judge intervenes in some way. Not sure how, perhaps he can sentence Kyle to Time Served or whatever. unless there is a mandatory minimum.
Posting this here because in essence it's a political trial.
Free Kyle Rittenhouse, there will be riots, which is exactly why we need him. He's a top lad and did the right and honorable thing. What do you think is going to happen?
