Rittenhouse verdict set precedent for rule of law

That was quite a colorful story James C. Nelson wrote about the Kyle Rittenhouse incident and trial in the Dec. 8 issue of The Monitor, but to me it appeared mostly to not be based on facts. Contrary to Mr. Nelson’s argument, the Rittenhouse verdict set a precedent for the rule of law.

Since the trial was televised, I watched quite a bit of it and this is what I learned.

The presiding judge in the trial was Judge Bruce Schroeder, a no-nonsense person appointed in 1983 by a Democrat governor.
