The judge in the Rittenhouse case is weighing a critical question of the misdemeanor charge on possessing a dangerous weapon. He is suggesting that the law is vague and may have to be construed strictly...
...He is saying that he has been "wrestling" with the language and cannot say with certainty what is prohibited. He is noting that an "ordinary citizen" would have trouble understanding who is prohibited from possession under the Wisconsin law.
...At this point, the misdemeanor may be the only count that is still alive in the trial after a disastrous trial. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…
...Both the defense and prosecutors did a good job in arguing this motion. The judge is going to submit the issue to the jury but this could allow for a strong challenge for the defense in closing arguments on the misdemeanor claim.
