Kyle Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two protesters and wounded a third during anti-police brutality demonstrations in Wisconsin last year, has been found not guilty of homicide. Additionally, Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all five charges, which included first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree recklessly endangering safety and attempted first-degree intentional homicide.
Meanwhile, a web site hosted on the matching domain, KyleRittenhouse.com, displays the results of a public vote it conducted at some point since it was registered in 2020. The vote is “frozen” in time and voting involved sending a small amount of Bitcoin to one of two wallets, one for “guilty” and one for “innocent.”
It’s quite remarkable that someone actually collected money (BTC) from both sides to provide an opportunity for the public to vote. Its operators even promised that the funds collected will go to the party that would win the actual trial—in this case the family of Kyle Rittenhouse—minus some fees.
