I watched the whole trial. The verdict was definitely just, but her lawyer didn’t do her any favors. At one point, in a moment of frustration, her lawyer exclaimed ‘I’m going to kill myself’, at a trial for a mother of a kid who killed a bunch of kids.
She ‘opened the door’ to a whole bunch of evidence that had previously been ruled inadmissible, including the defendants infidelity and the entire text communications between the defendant and her husband.
She said “I’m sorry” about a thousand times, which I am convinced was an intentional strategy to associate the defense with being sorry.
They weren’t supposed to use the shooters name but she used it three times in her opening statement.
Most of her objections were not valid legal objections, but just argument.
The whole thing was a train wreck, I actually feel bad for her (the attorney not the defendant).
Shame it didn’t go this way for Rittenhouse.
I think rottenhouse was charged with 1st degree only and not 2nd degree, which was ridiculous. Trying to prove he had a premeditated intent to kill that night was a bad strategy by the prosecution. They would have gotten a conviction if they charged 2nd degree or even manslaughter, negligence resulting in death, or whatever.
Its hard not to have conspiratorial thoughts when realizing that the only reason rottenhouse got off scott free was because he wasn’t properly charged. They could have charged him with 1st, 2nd, and manslaughter and let the jury decide, but for whatever reason they only charged 1st, even though they couldn’t prove intent.
From the moment that trial started I was so frustrated because I knew they wouldn’t be able to prove intent which was necessary for the charges. I’ll never understand why they didn’t properly charge him.
So that's why the guy went free ? I did wonder but never bothered to research it
that and the judge wanted to adopt him as a son
This is good news and it’ll be better news when I see a father getting nailed for giving his sons guns

Cute that they tried to flee before trial. Shit parents AND insufferable cowards to boot!
Oh! I stand corrected and grateful to hear it, thank you. No /s, I’m glad you updated me
As a 2A Advocate / Gun Guy all I can say is GOOD. Parents who do this deserve to held legally responsible.
Waiting for conservatives to tell us the 2A protects a child's right to own a gun. Come on, they've earned it guise!
Thumbnail looks like Mitch McConnell has reconsidered his stance on drag.
There's things they chose to be that are far worse than "unattractive".
This was the case where the parents decided to be tried separately right? I wonder if we’ll see both end up in the same sentence.
Gun manufacturers should take note, they are one step away from fault now.
I don't know the situation, but of course the CEO will say that, whether she'd be punished or not
This is probably 100% true, but in the article it is stated that the defendant agreed with it during trial.
