Kyle Rittenhouse's case was always going to be an uphill battle

 https://us.cnn.com/2021/11/20/opinions/kyle-rittenhouse-acquitted-rodgers/index.html

 Public sentiment after an episode that is viewed as unfair -- and there are plenty of people who are incensed that Rittenhouse went free because of a self-defense claim when he placed himself in the situation in the first place -- can spark change. For example, in Georgia, after the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, the legislature repealed the citizen's arrest law that Arbery's alleged killer and his co-defendants are relying on for their defense (although the defendants in the Arbery killing are still able to assert it).
