The trial of Kyle Rittenhouse is expected to come to a close soon as final statements are due to be made today, Rittenhouse shot numerous protesters killing two during the protest of the police shooting of Jacob Black in August 2020, Rittenhouse claims to have acted in self defence. There have been a number of controversial pre-trial rulings, many have criticised Rittenhouse’s pre-trial behaviour, and a deeply polarised media landscape has varyingly covered Rittenhouse as a second amendment idol through to a white supremacist terrorist. But perhaps more interestingly this case offers a clear look into the inner workings of the US justice system, with many pointing to the difference with which the US justice system treats black and white defendants, and how the country’s legal system views crimes involving fire arms. What can you say say about the American justice system?
