Fox News
As a Wisconsin jury weighs charges against accused Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, longtime lawyers and former prosecutors are sounding off on what they thought were some of the low and high points of the closing arguments.
Speaking to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, longtime attorneys had varying thoughts on how both sides did, with one finding that the prosecution delivered more convincing arguments than they previously have, and others explaining that the prosecution had more to make up for than the defense.
"The prosecution taking over two hours on a case is not a great sign," said former federal prosecutor-turned-criminal defense attorney Brett Tolman, referring to how the prosecution’s closing arguments lasted roughly two-and-a-half hours, on top of their subsequent rebuttal.
