It's a jury trial, so it's always up in the air.

I think it's going to depend a lot on the witness testimony, and his own, for the rest of these claims. I'm not willing to hitch my horse either way until I see more.

But I think that they went to attack Rittenhouse after he disengaged the conflict means a great deal, especially if he was already afraid for his life because of Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum literally telling Ritenhouse he'll fucking kill him is an enormous deal. And I think they'll play more towards saying that he was still in fear for his life, depending on the audio that comes out as these people were running up on him.

And if that's the case then they may have overshot too hard with the murder charge rather than homicide. Because it's harder to prove murder in these cases than homicide, in light of a reasonable self-defense here due to Rosenbaum.

Basically, I don't think prosecution expected Rosenbaum to have been quite the insane terror he was that night, nor would did they expect him to outright threaten Kyle and ambush him. It makes things a lot harder for them.

Side note: None of this probably happens if Balch didn't just fuck off and leave Kyle alone, judging by today's testimony. It was pretty clear Rosenbaum was out to hurt someone and wanted to get someone alone.
