A fair trial?
What a joke.
What happened here? Well, they piled appellate issue on appellate issue.
The judge refused to change the venue. He ruled that the case be tried in a city whose inhabitants set it aflame.
The judge refused to sequester the jury, making them pinkie swear to ignore the Class 5 hurricane of media attention.
The city council decided to settle the wrongful death case right during the trial.
Minneapolis’s mayor demanded a conviction.
Minnesota’s governor did too.
So did Joe Biden.
Maxine Waters decided to encourage violence if her preferred verdict didn’t come down.
Leftist scumbags did their part, splashing pig’s blood on the house of someone they thought had been a defense witness for the crime of giving testimony the mob disliked.
The media did its part, ensuring that the jurors understood they’d be doxxed if they got it “wrong”, like the folks who donated to Kyle Rittenhouse's defense were.
Was anyone on that jury unaware of what was in store for them if they determined the evidence defied the narrative and acquitted?
Don’t look to any appellate court. Sadly, the smart money is on the jurists getting the message too.

Jurors are human.
There is always room for miscalculation, fear, and error.
In this case, however, it is my considered opinion that these human weaknesses were deliberately amplified to catastrophic proportions.
A fair trial might indeed have come to the same conclusion.
But we’ll never know, and I will never be able to trust this outcome, because America’s left made a fair trial impossible
There is zero chance that this gets heard in appeals court because of Waters. None. In fact, 90% are denied, with Minnesota being a tough state for appeals.
He can try to argue prosecutorial misconduct because the prosecution called Nelson's closing argument lies what they were...'stories'.
But it won't work.
