"Self defense is obviously what they [Rittenhouse's lawyers] want, because that results in acquittal," Slobogin said. "If he wins that argument, the charges get knocked down from murder to manslaughter, which is a much less serious penalty." "Grosskreutz is fortunate that modern American courtrooms don't do trial by combat, because otherwise he'd have been carried out of the courtroom mortality [sic] wounded by his own testimony," Branca wrote in his blog, where he gives daily updates on the Rittenhouse trial.
