here in kenosha but work around the country, referencing to what is playing out in georgia where the three men are on trial for the killing of ahmaud arbery. but today was a disappointing day for the family of jacob blake and their thoughts and prayers and hearts are really with the deceased family, the two men who kyle rittenhouse shot and killed. stand by for us. thank y thank you very much. we want go back to sara sidner. we remember the summer when after jacob blake was shot certainly after george floyd was shot and the protesters, the grass root protests of people who felt that there were so many injustices basically and they took to the streets. and so how was that back drop present through all of this? reporter: absolutely. absolutely. it is present here outside of the court, as i mentioned jacob
i would rather have a fair trial. i thought he gave us a fair trial. you know, everybody got all crazy about the tumbler. who cares. that has nothing to do with this. i mean, i ve seen the tumbler used before, i have seen clerks pull things out and suspicious things happen. kyle pulled it out. i ll be real honest, we had every juror scored on a sheet, and we were devastated when those three of the six jurors were separated from the panel because we thought they were three of our strongest jurors. and kyle pulled their names. so i think it s a good system. you know, i ve got a trial in front of him, you know, a big case, and maybe in that one, i ll think he s unfair, but he s a fair judge. but he also said something about in the future he plans on rethinking the possibility of
case. but clearly, you know, benjamin crump has been here with the family who feels, the jacob blake family who feels there was injustice in that case and to see an acquittal, he feelslike there is injustice for kyle rittenhouse in in case and for the community in this case. we have to be clear about the facts and what came out in trial, what the prosecution, you know, put forward to this jury and what the defense put forward to this jury. and so as you see some of the comments coming down, a lot of the there were several politicians who made comments about kyle rittenhouse and what his background was and what he was doing here and why he was here and we learned that his father lived here and he was working in the area in the night before this shooting happened. that being said, there were a lot of folks here who are parsing out a lot of this and they feel had the races been reverse this could be a very different verdict. but that is what they feel and that is not the facts that that
list listening to the trial every day and they were not in the courtroom every day listening to all of the details. they were outside. sometimes listening, sometimes arguing, sometimes coming up with their own ideas of what has happened and that also has played out on social media as it has played out in every single case in every single political you know argument that we have seen ever since twitter and facebook and all of the rest have existed. and so you are seeing this play out in america online and in a very different way than it played out inside of the court where you are watching every detail and learning every detail of what happened and watching all of the video which i have watched over and over and over again. some of the new video, the drone video was very important, and some of the video that we ve all seen of people chasing after mr. rittenhouse. but there are still very raw emotions here. because there is a lot of talk about if he happened to be black, what would thi
of a trial and acquittal of kyle rittenhouse. rittenhouse a self-declared white nationalist which is not true crossed state lines and unlawfully possessed an ar-15 and those details in court said he did not bring that across state lines. that ar-15 style weapon was inside of a home here in kenosha that his bought that ar-15 for kyle rittenhouse because he was too young to purchase a weapon because he was 17 at the time. but that was being held here in kenosha. now when he left after the shootings, he then got into there was some trouble there. but the truth of the matter is this is part of the issue that happens, is that there is a line, that everyone kind of sticks to, and this is been a very difficult time, i think for those that are watching the trial, because everyone is in their corners in this particular
