Former U.S. Attorney Michael J. Moore told Fox News on Sunday that he expects Kyle Rittenhouse to be found guilty on some counts in his trial for the alleged intentional homicide of two people and wounding a third person.

"I think when you start talking about whether he was hit with a skateboard and that type of thing by one of the victims, that becomes a little bit more unbelievable, given that he had no injuries," Moore explained. "He had a very scripted examination. You know, that's tougher to believe too. And I don't think it's going to be lost on this jury that there weren't a lot of real -- what appeared to be at least -- tears coming out of a performance on the stand."

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.

Teddy Daniels, a Republican congressional candidate in Pennsylvania, blasted LeBron James on Thursday after the basketball player questioned the authenticity of Kyle Rittenhouse's emotional breakdown in court.

In a tweet on Wednesday, James noted that he did not see any tears when Rittenhouse appeared to become emotional in court.

Kyle Rittenhouse's mother, Wendy Rittenhouse, is expected to join Fox News host Sean Hannity for an interview on Thursday.

The network announced on Thursday that the accused killer's mom would make an appearance on Hannity's evening broadcast. Rittenhouse allegedly shot two people to death and wounded a third person during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year. He has testified that he was at the protest to provide medical aid.

Criminologist Casey Jordan reacted to the testimony of Kyle Rittenhouse on Wednesday by suggesting that the 18-year-old defendant displayed "sociopathic" tendencies.

Jordan spoke about the case during a break in Rittenhouse's testimony about the night he is accused of killing two victims and wounding a third during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Testifying in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial on Wednesday, Jacob Marshall addressed social media postings that he'd written saying that Gaige Grosskreutz wished that he had killed Rittenhouse, Law&Crime captured.

Grosskreutz, who isn't on trial, was shot and wounded by Rittenhouse. Afterward, Marshall wrote: "I just talked to Gaige Grosskreutz. His only regret was not killing the kid and hesitating to pull the gun before emptying the entire mag into him."

The father of the man accused of fatally shooting Ahmaud Arbery lashed out at the victim in body camera footage captured after the shooting.

The testimony came as Glynn County Police Officer Jeff Brandeberry read a transcript of the footage.

Accused killer Kyle Rittenhouse diverted his eyes in court on Tuesday instead of looking at images of one of the men he allegedly killed.

While prosecutors were showing photos of Anthony Huber's body, Rittenhouse was caught on camera struggling to look away from the images.

After the NRA's funding plummeted by over $300 million, questions surfaced about the group's finances. The new book "Misfire: Inside the Downfall of the NRA" revealed that president Wayne LaPierre was terrified he was going to jail. It's one of many reasons that Oliver North was brought into the organization to essentially become a scapegoat.

The New Republic's write-up of the book highlighted LaPierre's paranoia as the broke organization was hemorrhaging money on "bloated contracting arrangements and a self-dealing executive caste." In response, the NRA brought on more expensive consultants.

The new book "Misfire: Inside the Downfall of the NRA" by Tim Mak describes, among other things, the unlikely leadership of Wayne LaPierre, a Washington, D.C. lobbyist who couldn't even shoot a gun.

LaPierre has helped get the National Rifle Association into scores of investigations over alleged misuse of funds. The gun CEO used the NRA to spend $300,000 on clothes from Beverly Hills, claiming he needed them for public appearances and interviews, which he rarely does. There were private jets, private drivers, $39,000 suites and other finery. When it came to the kind of gun culture created by the NRA, the flannel-wearing, baseball cap sporting, sportsman and protector of the family — LaPierre was about as far away as possible.

In the new book Misfire: Inside the Downfall of the NRA, reporter Tim Mak revealed a strange story about former NRA boss Wayne LaPierre's wife, Susan LaPierre.

In a bizarre tale, Mak revealed Mrs. LaPierre used her influence and the NRA's cash to create cliques among donors and their wives. According to the book, Mrs. LaPierre created an off-shoot called the Women's Leadership Forum (WLF) that funneled money from the NRA to lavish events.
