President Joe Biden said Friday he stands by the not-guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, saying the jury system of trial in the United States works and must be respected.
while the jury's decision drew harsh criticism from the victims' loved ones, legal experts say they were not surprised by the verdict.
... because Rittenhouse's attorneys claimed self-defense, state law meant the burden fell on prosecutors to disprove Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. And it was an uphill battle to climb from the start, because of the facts in this case, experts said.
Beto O'Rourke, who announced his campaign for Texas governor last week, declined to invite President Joe Biden to campaign alongside him. O'Rourke's comments reflect a broader disapproval with Biden nationally and suggest a visit from the President could hurt his campaign more than help.
O'Rourke said "we're gonna take your AR-15." O'Rourke responded to the verdict in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. He said the case highlights the need for gun law reform and called for the restriction of access to military-style firearms. "This entire tragedy makes the case that we should not allow our fellow Americans to own and use weapons that were originally designed for battlefield use"
