It is clear in this thread though as to why so many convictions have been later overturned and the person found innocent.

People thinking a person's guilt should be based on feelings, such as if they should have been there, not by law.

How about you give an example of these same circumstances happening before

The quick one, two-day verdict group was unrealistic. Imagine 12 posters entering a jury room and trying to reach a verdict. No way would that happen within 6 or 12 hours. I'd want to hear every argument before sending someone to prison for decades and believe most people feel that way.

I guess today, Monday at the latest, the jury has its verdict or informs the judge they're deadlocked

It doesn’t work that way.

From what I’ve seen in the past, the jury doesn’t inform the judge they’re deadlocked but rather requests to be declared deadlocked and then the judge can order them to continue deliberating.

The second that was shown it was grounds for a mistrial with prejudice as well.

This is one of the most corrupt, dishonest high visibility trials I've ever seen. Both prosecutors need to face discipline from the bar and possibly criminal charges over their conduct




To the Prosecution and many on the Left, that would be preferable to what otherwise would be the very likely acquittal on all charges.

They knew their politically motivated case was chit when they brought it.

Kyle hopefully is exonerated today and can get on to suing Biden and everyone else who slandered him, into oblivion and be wealthy beyond his wildest dreams for the rest of his life.
Could be Nick Sandmann part II. Sued CNN for $275 million. Settlement not disclosed.

For Kyle, could total a billion with multiple lawsuits. It's why MSNBC is so hellbent on tampering/intimidating the jury.

I am a liberal, I think Kyle Rittenhouse is an SOB, and I think he should be acquitted of all counts.
