We have there. and there are many people who have been anticipating this verdict, and this verdict has now come. and it results in the acquittal of kyle rittenhouse. shaq, stick around. i have joyce and danny with me. a former prosecutor and long-time defense attorney. joyce, was this a well-defended case or poorly prosecuted case, or a little bit of both? you know, there was some of everything not to like in this case. from the way the judge conducted it to some of the strategic decisions the prosecution made. the defense, you know, as we say, was good enough. and the key point of the defense was arguing self-defense. as a former prosecutor, this strikes me as an odd situation for self-december. it s something akin to saying that if you go in a bank and rob it and people are trying to apprehend you, you can shoot your way out and claim self-defense. that s a little bit what kyle
Killed by mr. rittenhouse, by kyle rittenhouse. of course the jury is saying that was justified, they acquitted him on the counts that he faced. but that coming in from the family of anthony huber right now. shaquille brewster with that for us, shaq, thank you. joyce vance, the huber statement brings up something uncomfortable. two people died, one almost died. and nobody s paying any penalty. now, some could argue that the trial itself was a form of penalty for mr. rittenhouse, what was facing him. but how does the huber family get closure? i don t know if they ever will. you know, it s a really difficult issue. and i ll speak to it personally, because my father-in-law who was a federal judge was murdered because of his judicial service. and ultimately the man who was responsible for killing him was convicted at trial in both state
They say that he came from an yok, illinois, crossed state lines. that s become a phrase you heard over and over, though kyle rittenhouse says he has family ties to kenosha but came that all right, shaq. the jury it looks like here we go. has the jury reached a verdict as to each count of the information? yes, we have, your honor. one verdict and one jerkt only? yes. would you hand all the paperwork to the bailiff, please? everything. thanks. may i see that too, please? i m sorry. thank you.
President s battle against the pandemic is where we start our show today. but before we dig more into covid, we can report there is a verdict in the rittenhouse trial, and so we are going to take you there to kenosha right now. shaquille brewster is with us. shaq, after three and a half days of deliberations, and the families are being brought into the courtroom, certainly created a lot of thoughts that something was up and indeed, it appears we now have a verdict. that s right. the judge just took the bench. he announced the jury has reached a verdict in this case. it seems as if he s waiting for the jury to be brought down. that part wasn t clear across the feed, but this is all happening just in literally the past couple seconds as you were starting the show. there s not much happening on the feed right now. you mentioned this is day four now of the deliberations. the jury has been out since tuesday. tuesday morning is when they started. of course, we know they re deliberating and
Eligible for service again. it would be my pleasure to work with you. thank you. i think it s in the library. it s not going to be more than a minute or maybe it will be. take them upstairs. that s fine. that s fine. shaquille brewster, there it is. not guilty on all five counts this. we saw kyle rittenhouse s reaction, not surprising considering i think what i m sure he was thinking about what he could be facing. and he obviously has quite an emotional relief to him. the families of those that were killed by rittenhouse, we haven t heard from them. obviously we didn t have a camera on them. so shaq, what have you gotten any reactions yet from any of the other family members? we haven t gotten any
