    So convicted on murdering two people and self-defense on one? Could they have gone with that narrative

      At most manslaughter, since bringing a gun to a protest would probably not be considered enough to support premeditation, but I wouldnt be sure of that even being a strong case.

      Maybe 1 count of manslaughter, by the second shooting any competent defense would most likely successfully argue that Rittenhouse was in sufficient fear of his life that self defense would apply.
