George Zimmerman attorney: Kyle Rittenhouse prosecutor has only one hope in murder trial

With the prosecutor and attorneys for Kyle Rittenhouse preparing their closing arguments, the lawyer who successfully defended George Zimmerman after he shot Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida in 2012 appeared on CNN to say things don't look good for the prosecutor and claim he has only a sliver of hope in the case.

Speaking with host Brianna Keillar, attorney Mark O'Mara who got an acquittal for Zimmerman on charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter in 2013, said Rittenhouse's attorneys have likely created enough doubt in the jury's mind that get their client off.

Asked by host Keilar about the antics of Judge Bruce Schroeder who is presiding over the trial, O'Mara agreed he seemed biased, stating, "From the judge's initial some pre-trial rulings to his behavior throughout."

"But even from the first state witness, it helped the defense," he continued. "The first person who was videotaping, and all the way through, there's no question that there is an extraordinary amount of reasonable doubt here."

"The only thing the defense needs to do is make sure they get the jury to the jury box," he added. "The only thing the prosecution can hope is to focus on a couple of jurors and see if there is a way to miss-try the case by a hung jury and a chance to try it again."
