Why is Luigi Mangione's manifesto admissible in court but Kyle Rittenhouse's video on wanting to shoot people wasn't?
LOCATION: Wisconsin & New York, the two states where these trials happened or are happening.
A judge recently ruled that Mangione's notebook with a manifesto was admissible as evidence, but the judge in Rittenhouse' case infamously blocked the video that Rittenhouse took a few weeks before the killings saying he wanting to shoot people.
What's the difference here? How does the legal world rationalize this?
