Protests spring up in NYC, other cities in response to Rittenhouse verdict

Regardless of how you feel about his actions, his conduct, or his character, whether you support what he did or oppose it, the fact remains his case was tried in front of a jury of his peers and he was acquitted of the charges. Jury trials are a huge piece of the criminal justice system that we agree to abide by as Americans.

As a defense attorney and former prosecutor, I for one am pleased to see justice being served in a case where the prosecution engaged in such misconduct as attempting to introduce evidence that had already been excluded by the judge, withholding evidence from the defense lawyer, and commenting on Rittenhouse’s silence before the trial as incriminating evidence - a clear violation of his fifth amendment right to remain silent.

With that being said, if you do disagree with the verdict and decide to protest, it is your right to peacefully protest and speak out. Understand though, that right does not include destroying property or hurting others.
