Liberal media pushed back on the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse, who was found not guilty of all five charges against him.
CNN contributor Ana Navarro felt compelled to tie the Rittenhouse verdict to unrelated cases as a"stark reminder of inequity."
"Juries are part of the American system of justice, not its entirety…. Arriving at justice depends on the whole system, the prosecutors, the judge, the defense," Bump wrote."We should remember, then, that acquittals are not moral judgments. If a jury says that the government failed to meet its burden of proof, this is an assessment of the government as much as the accused.
NBC News anchor Lester Holt suggested Rittenhouse was able to"provoke" a violent situation and then successfully claim self-defense in the court of law.
