The prosecution must have been planning this from the beginning as a possible way out of a not guilty verdict. The only other possibility is that they were hoping for a "guilty verdict" to appease the mob, then allow for Kyle Rittenhouse to appeal that verdict based on withholding of evidence by the prosecution.
One advantage for liberals in a mistrial is that Kyle isn't found innocent of the charges. He would have shaky grounds to file $Millions in defamation lawsuits against the main stream media (who slandered him).
Something this stupid HAS to be intentional.

In any case, there won't be a re-trial.
There is no such thing as an innocent verdict. It is only not guilty or guilty.
"Technicalities" are more likely to enrage the mob than a not guilty verdict.
They don't need an excuse to be "enraged" and burn down Kenosha. They will do it no matter the outcome.
As long as Soros’ check comes through, that is.
Yup, a mistrial sounds like the perfect fodder for riots because the idiots can think he is guilty and just got away with it.
