Alan Dershowitz: Kyle Rittenhouse 'should be acquitted,' sue media for calling him 'vigilante'
2021-11-15
[Just The News] Alan Dershowitz, the famed Harvard law professor emeritus, said Kyle Rittenhouse "should be acquitted" of injuring a man and killing two others in Kenosha, Wis., and sue media outlets that are claiming he's guilty of vigilante justice.

"If I were a juror, I would vote that there was reasonable doubt [and] that he did act in self-defense," Dershowitz told Newsmax on Saturday.

"Then he'll bring lawsuits, and that's the way to answer... vigilante justice is what CNN is doing, not what a 17-year-old kid under pressure may have done right or wrong. It's CNN who is involved in vigilante justice. It's The New Yorker that's guilty of vigilante justice."

Dershowitz referenced then-Kentucky high school student Nicholas Sandmann and how he sued and settled with CNN and The Washington Post for defamation as they accused him of being racist following viral videos of an encounter he had with a Native American activist in Washington, D.C.

"The idea is to make the media accountable for deliberate and willful lies," he said.
