That's what I think the anti-Rittenhouse side doesn't see. This trial is a perfect example of DAs getting caught doing shady things and even a sympathetic judge doesn't have the courage to throw the case out.

It's an amazing example of how rotted justice in America is. But since it doesn't fit into the racial-power narrative it's ignored. This is the case that could teach middle America that their justice system is broken and needs reform.

Guilty or innocent, the DA has done so much BS that the case should have been thrown out w/ prejudice [1] a long time ago.

[1] mistrial w/ prejudice means Rittenhouse get's off. The argument for prejudice is that the prosecution is making too many serious violations for the mistakes to be innocent. And if they're not innocent mistakes, then prejudice attaches.
