Have you read the jury instructions and heard and seen there evidence that the jury did? If not, you’re really not in much of a position to second guess the jury.doubtingthomas wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 5:54 pmNobody knows for sure. But Rittenhouse didn't have to shoot him four times. Rosenbaum was no longer a threat when he was shot the first time. And Rittenhouse simply didn't run away when he noticed Rosenbaum was following him.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Fri Nov 26, 2021 5:15 pm
Probably because some, to include myself, simply didn’t consider Rittenhouse as the provoker.
I am starting to think the jury got it wrong.
I don’t understand why you keep claiming that Rittenhouse didn’t run away. There is video that clearly shows him running away from Rosenbaum, Rosenbaum chasing him, Rosenbaum catching up to him until he right behind him. Only then does Rittenhouse turn and shoot.
And you seem to be putting restrictions on the use of deadly force when someone is privileged to do so. There is no requirement that R shoot once, then wait to see if his attacker stops. If not, shoot one more time, then check and see if the attacker stops. It all happens very fast, and the law doesn’t require that deadly force be used s as sparingly as possible. Put bluntly, if you have the privilege to use deadly force, you get to kill the other guy so he doesn’t kill you (or seriously injure you). It’s a sledgehammer, not a scalpel.
