The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial on Friday said he'll instruct the jury that unless the state proved the teen's AR-15-style rifle had an unlawfully short barrel, he can't be convicted of being a minor in possession of a firearm.

They better let the Guard use gas and at least rubber bullets.
Very nice to see some stories that we’re winning.
Why bother even excerpting & linking when the rest of the story is behind a paywall?

They’ll be using them to fan the flames and protect the rioters
This is good news!!
It is not poorly worded, it is so simple that even this humble accountant reading it found it perfectly clear.
I don't understand why this charge was even allowed.
This is all I get by doing that.

How about you do it and show us how it’s done?
Rittenhouse was 17 when he defended himself against three
attackers.
“Rittenhouse was 17 when he killed two people and wounded a
third during protests in Kenosha in August 2020. He testified
he feared for his own life in each instance.”
Judge Schroeder said he had to allow it because the prosecutor followed proper procedure in submitting it to the court.
It is not inconceivable the prosecution could have introduced evidence the barrel of the rifle was 15.95 inches long, for example.
Judge Schroeder waited until the evidence was closed to make this determination.
So if you "properly submit something that is NOT TRUE the judge has to allow it?
Now I know why these people did not go into anything that requires math.
2+2=4 would have left them in tears.
The world has been told, for a year and two months, the weapons charge was a slam dunk.
Judge Schroeder said he spent hours examining the statute and the legislative history.
And I have spent the past year and two months saying that it was not because I actually READ the statute.
It is really quite clean and clear.
I knew this the day after the shooting.
Judge Schroeder said he spent hours examining the statute and the legislative history.
Big whoop.
Color me not impressed. If as a judge you are saying a lie is truth because you are worried about being called a name you should turn in your judge card.
Life is hard.
It is even harder when you are a coward.
A judge cannot be effective if he is kicked off the court.
Judge Schroeder followed the judicial procedures to the letter.
A judge is not allowed to be the finder of fact.
You are asking Judge Schroeder to be a dictator instead of a judge.
Where did Judge Schroeder say a lie was the truth?
Judge Schroeder is not the judge who allowed the charge to be entered in the first place.
The charge was entered early in the procedings. It was challenged at that time. The judge who allowed it probably was in error, but he likely took the DA at their word in the initial process.
The error was compounded by the standard jury instructions for the crime, which do not even mention the exceptions.
TBH the outcomes here don’t interest me that much. I look forward to the day (and it’s coming) when Kyle is treated as the hero that he is, not subject to our corrupt and dying institutions whether he’s fully acquitted or not.
