Original Note:
Calling Rittenhouse a "murderer" is an opinion. While he was found not guilty at trial, that does not mean that he is definitely innocent; only that the government did not prove its case, according to the jury. Reasonable people can have the opinion that the jury got it wrong. https://reason.com/volokh/2021/11/20/is-it-defamatory-to-call-kyle-rittenhouse-or-anyone-acquitted-of-murder-a-murderer/
