“There was, however, a second verdict in that courtroom for those who have been maintaining a distorted or incomplete account to this trial.\u00a0From the outset, politicians and media figures insisted that this was a case of murders committed by a white supremacist.\u00a0<\/strong>Then-presidential candidate\u00a0Joe Biden\u00a0labeled Rittenhouse a \u201cwhite supremacist\u201d\u00a0<\/a>in a\u00a0tweet showing his photo and demanded to know why then-President Donald Trump\u00a0did not\u00a0\u201cdisavow white supremacists.\u201d Much of the media followed suit with an\u00a0echo chamber of coverage<\/a>\u00a0that led some people to believe that these were essentially\u00a0executions on the streets of Kenosha.\u00a0 Columnist Elie Mystal\u00a0called\u00a0the\u00a0trial\u00a0a sham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pressure clearly had an impact on the prosecution, which\u00a0overcharged Rittenhouse (including with a count that was invalid<\/a>).<\/strong>\u00a0The\u00a0case began to fall apart\u00a0<\/a>as the prosecution called its witnesses, who contradicted the core elements of these charges.<\/p>\n

What happened next was even more chilling. Faced with a collapsing case in court, many of the same media outlets struck out at the judge, the jury, and the legal system. MSNBC host Tiffany Cross\u00a0advocated for the judge’s removal<\/a>. Rittenhouse was mocked for his “male, white tears<\/a>” on national television. Georgetown law professor Paul Butler\u00a0called the trial \u201cwhite privilege\u00a0on steroids<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
