Rittenhouse. Acquitted, Convicted? What if it's neither?
I would not be surprised at all if the jury hung on all of the charges. It just takes one juror to hang a jury, and how would it be surprising if there were more than one who refused to go along with the general feelings of the jury?
I was the foreman of a jury that ended up hung. No matter what the jury said in discussions, there were three jurors who were so struck by the color of the defendant's skin that they voted Guilty every last time the jury held a vote. Nine voted to acquit on all of those votes, but those three were dead set on convicting the defendant.
It didn't matter how many times we went over the jury instructions. It didn't matter that what was charged was not met by the evidence. The defendant was a Black man, and that was all those three cared about.
We got sent back into chambers three times by the judge to continue our deliberations, but it still ended as a hung jury.
In the end, the prosecutor never retried the case and the defendant ended up not going to prison after all, but the latent racism of three jurors caused the jury to be hung.
I would not be surprised if there is a hung jury in the Rittenhouse case. Not surprised at all.
How much did this totally never happen?

Not only did this not happen, but now every other DUmmy is going to spin their own Parry Mason/To Kill a Mockingbird experience of being the only virtuous honky in a world of otherwise bloodthirsty crackers. I sort of like it.

Rockhead has carte blanche at the DUmp to make up whatever tale he wishes and gets praised in that cesspool no matter how ridiculous if it reinforces their narrative. Several dozen prominent DUmp monkeys have such liberal privilege.

I'm going to venture a guess that Rockhead Horror believes there were minorities killed and maimed by Rittenhouse..
PROTIP : -Check your sources before trying to spin an allegorical bouncy.

Zero bong bouncy. A better bouncy would have MM using some witty one-liner that the other jurors then complimented him on with clapping and embarrassed the three "racist" jurors into voting for acquittal.
And a bailiff leaping out of the bushes.

So, do I understand Rockhead served on a jury with his sister, mother and uncle?
Asking for a friend.

So the recalcitrant (from MM's lofty POV) jurors could not possibly have believed the defendants guilty based on the evidence presented. They had to be motivated by racism. Because narrative.
