If that was a black man on trial he would of been hung up by now. But its a white sobbing child who was 17 at the time that caused the deaths of 2 men.
I don't know about "hung up. . . "
. . but more than likely? What the criminal justice system does, is threaten poor folks with lengthy and cruel sentences, and give them an alternative plea bargen.
Then? The defendant is made to feel, their only hope is the pea deal.
In this case, I am thinking Kyle's folks are not that well off, but the culture has so well publicized this, that there seems to be a deep well of crowd-funding for his defense.
I don't see why a black person, if they had a trial that was similarly publicized, couldn't do that same.
In this scenario, I believe in your analogy, it would be in the arresting stage where we would see the most bias. If I remember correctly, Kyle failed to notify the prosecutor of a change of address because he didn't trust the DA to keep it a secret from radical elements in the BLM.
Oh well. That is very much the type of problems black defendants had when they provoked the rage of the KKK, and the KKK had ties with the prosecutors office. I do think there is some double standards in our society there now.
Yet. . if a black defendant pulled that shit back then? They would find themselves in jail. Kyle did not.
Kyle Rittenhouse failed to inform the court of his change of address within 48 hours of moving, Kenosha County prosecutors alleged.

". . . Prosecutors wrote in their motion Wednesday that they learned Rittenhouse was no longer living at his Antioch address after the court mailed him a notice and it was returned as undeliverable on January 28. Kenosha detectives traveled to the address on Tuesday and discovered another man had rented the apartment and had been living there since mid-December.
Richards, Rittenhouse's attorney, argued in his motion that Rittenhouse and his family have received threats in various forms, the most recent of which came on January 25. When Rittenhouse was released from jail in November, police told defense attorneys not to provide the safe house address, Richards said.
An attorney working with Richards, Corey Chirafisi, asked Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger via email on November 30 if he could keep the safe house address sealed but Binger refused, according to Richards' motion.. . . "
