Rittenhouse https://padlet.com/hea21583411/8am2pwgne9tp5mgx/wish/2220443867 Kyle Rittenhouse took the lives of Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz. His case was nationally televised allowing social media to make a huge influence on how people viewed the case and let them voice their opinion to the masses. Despite how popular and entertaining this case became, the jury was able to focus on the facts that were presented in court and not what was in the media.
     
    1.     How can social media influence our point of view on cases that will shape our nation’s future?
    2.     What determines self-defense?
    3.     Would the verdict have been different if this case was not nationally televised?
