Rottinghouse jury ruled in favor of the NRA

Horrible judge, horrible verdict

Sad to say, prosecutors have no right of appeal.

I am surprised the Judge isn’t taking selfies with Rottinghouse.

On edit, here are the actual charges:

The Jury Just Found Rittenhouse Not Guilty On All Counts. Reminder On What The Charges Were:

The jury has delivered the verdict in Rittenhouse’s murder trial: Not guilty on all five counts. Here’s a breakdown of the charges brought by the state.

COUNT 1: FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESS HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

Prosecutors alleged that Rittenhouse caused the death of Joseph Rosenbaum, the first man he shot, with utter disregard for human life. This was punishable by up to 60 years in prison.

COUNT 2: FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

This charge was punishable by up to 12 1/2 years in prison. The dangerous weapon modifier carries an additional five years.

This felony charge is also connected to the Rosenbaum shooting.

COUNT 3: FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

COUNT 4: FIRST-DEGREE INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON

This charge carries a mandatory life sentence. The weapons modifier would add up to five years.

The jury also was given the option of second-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless homicide in Huber’s death.
