Many people in Wisconsin expect the jury to determine
that the D.A. overreached when he imposed the charge of intentional
homicide. Yet Rittenhouse could still go to prison if jurors hold him
accountable for the deaths. The Harvard law professor Noah Feldman
recently wrote
that, though Rittenhouse presumably will claim that he feared having
his gun wrested away and used against him, it’s only “the presence of
Rittenhouse’s own weapon” that gives him “the opportunity to claim that
he was in fear of bodily harm.” Thomas told me that if Rittenhouse
hadn’t concluded that it was his responsibility to venture, armed, into a
“hot environment,” he “wouldn’t have been in harm’s way, and he
certainly wouldn’t have hurt anyone else.”
