Elie Mystal: Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Judge Is ‘So Clearly Biased Towards the White Murderer’

‘In both of these cases, the murderers stood over the dead bodies and the police are like: “Yeah, go home. Good job”‘

EXCERPT:

GOODMAN: "... about not only the Rittenhouse trial, but the trial of the three white men who are accused of murdering Ahmaud Arbery, father and son. The father in the case was a former police officer an investigator. This happening in Georgia. Elie Mystal if you can talk about both trials."
MYSTAL: "Yeah. So that trial is going a little bit better in part because the judge isn’t so clearly biased towards the white murderers in that case. Now I don't think the judge has done everything he could to -- to advance the cause of justice in that case. In the Arbery situation there is a jury that -- so twelve active members, four alternants, that’s sixteen people, only one of those jurors, is black. Now, that’s weird, because in Brunswick, Georgia, where the trial's taking place that county is 26 percent black.”
