It's been a year since Kenosha prosecutors charged Kyle Rittenhouse with killing two people and wounding a third during unrest that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Since then the case and its characters have provided a constant stream of intrigue, outrage and propaganda, in both mainstream and niche conservative media outlets where he has been portrayed as a patriot and symbol of run rights as ell as a self-defense hero and boy-next-door.
Rittenhouse, now 18, faces five felonies, a misdemeanor and a curfew ticket from the events of Aug. 25. Using an AR-15-type rifle, he killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, Anthony Huber, 26, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz. His lawyers say he acted in lawful self- defense. |

A hot mess.
Riots if he's acquitted, and bankruptcy of the justice system if he's convicted. |

One year? Whatever happened to the Sixth Amendment, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial. . ."??
One year is no way speedy! |
