Are they permitting the jury to levy a lesser conviction?
My mind is bending over backwards trying to find a way that a person showing up to a riot with a gun, when they weren't required or qualified to be there, that ends up killing 2 people and wounding 1 isn't somehow responsible for that situation at all.
Rittenhouse's choices are the reason we are even talking about this today. I know it's not that simple, but that single choice should have some sort of consequence relating to the deaths and not just weapons charges.
