The case against Chauvin was also pretty weak.
A big difference is that Rittenhouse has competent lawyers and a judge that's isn't trying to make an example out of him. Earlier pre-trial recordings have shown the judge bitching out the DAs for the political stunts they keep trying to pull. Here is a good example.
You seem to think the jury tried to judge the Chauvin case on its merits, and that's why it went that way. They gave a guilty verdict to everything he was charged with, even though murder would preclude manslaughter, they convicted him of both anyway.
No jury is going to give a shit about what's presented to them in this case if they have to fear for their lives after the trial is over.
That is a good point. That just tempered my hope some.
Yes it was weak but there was muh oppressed negro with Chauvin which is fortunately missing from the Rittenhouse case so it has not become a BLM lightning rod. No one is worried about pedos and jews rioting if Rittenhouse is found not guilty.
The only thing the jury cares about is fearing for their life after the trial if they give the "wrong" verdict. The rest is just noise.
