What legal experts make of judge's order for Kyle Rittenhouse to pick his own jury by lottery.
Kyle Rittenhouse could spend the next several decades of his life behind bars or soon walk free from a Wisconsin courthouse.
Eighteen prospective jurors sat through two weeks of testimony and arguments before Rittenhouse was told to pick six numbers out of a tumbler. The six numbers corresponded to jurors who were then stricken from the panel, resulting in the 12 who were sent into deliberations.

It has always been the courtroom clerk who does the draw in his experience, he said.
