So what did we learn from the Rittenhouse trial?
Because it feels like the lesson is 'shoot back'. Is the law really going to rule "Last one alive is innocent"?

One thing to think about is that Rittenhouse had an excellent defense lawyer who did a great job at exposing the political motives of the prosecutors and keeping the prosecutor's lack of evidence at the forefront.
What would have happened if Rittenhouse had been represented by a court appointed attorney?

@Heartlander exactly, that's what all these race talkers are missing in their ranting and raving about supremacist. The system is designed to generate profit for the prosecution/state.

In this case, it was pretty obvious that the prosecutors were acting as agents of biased politicians rather than agents of the law, and were honing in on the emotions rather than the facts

@MarineBob :) ... there were a few times when I thought Binger may have been intentionally trying to throw the case. Like a quarterback fading back and back to get beyond field goal range before being sacked. But then he just retreated to an attempt at an emotional hail mary. At one point it looked like he simply handed the judge a good reason for a mistrial.

@Heartlander I like the QB analogy .
