A defining image: Rittenhouse nearly crumbles out of picture

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — As the last of five “not guilty” verdicts were read aloud on Friday, Kyle Rittenhouse shook with sobs and collapsed, nearly falling out of sight of the television camera fixed on him in a Wisconsin courtroom. “I knew this case was big,” Rittenhouse’s lawyer, Mark Richards, said after the trial during a news conference carried live by the cable networks. On Court TV, Kirk Nurmi offered the view you’d expect from a network where lawyers predominate, saying the jury’s verdict “should be sacrosanct, regardless of what the court of opinion thinks.” Commentators Andy McCarthy and Jonathan Turley on Fox News Channel both decried how opinion had overshadowed news in the coverage of Rittenhouse’s case. That changed in this case.” Fox News anchor John Roberts introduced Turley’s analysis by saying that many people in the country had “convicted Kyle Rittenhouse before he got anywhere near a courtroom.” Roberts read tweets, some nearly a year old, that were critical of Rittenhouse. “There are two people who are dead.” On NBC News, commentator Eugene Robinson said that in a country where guns outnumber people, “what concerns me is that the result will be seen as a vindication of vigilantism, to the extent that it legitimizes this line of thinking.” Fox announced later Friday that Rittenhouse would appear Monday in an exclusive interview on Tucker Carlson’s show.
