They left the door open for the jury to consider that Rittenhouse provoked the encounter and forfeited his right to self defense... On a video and still image that the prosecutor says show Rittenhouse pointing his rifle at someone; but no one but the prosecutors are able to discern that from the tiny blob on the screen despite watching it over and over again. It's a pure fabrication.

This is where they are going to railroad him to placate the mob. The judge should never have allowed this argument to be presented to the jury. It is absurd on it's face to admit evidence that the jury needs to be told what to look for and how it should be interpreted. The video should stand on it's own and should be unequivocal in what it depicts.

They will convict him by saying that he provoked the attacks because they don't want their city to burn.
