The Kyle Rittenhouse trial ended in an acquittal verdict for five of the seven charges that he faced in connection with shooting three men (killing two) during a protest against police brutality in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year. But two of those charges were dropped by the judge before they went to the jury. Here, I will explain the Wisconsin gun possession law and why the judge dropped that charge. (I also explain Brian Laundrie’s arrest warrant if you want more legal charges to be explained.)
Trending Legal Issues
Here’s my list of trending legal issues that I provide a synopsis, analysis, and commentary on.
The Gabby Petito Case Timeline and Cause of Death
I wrote out the Gabby Petito case timeline and cause of death for those who are interested. The Gabby Petito case has gained an intense social media attention. This article is not a trending legal topic, but I found it so interesting as almost a live criminal case file. She and her fiance, Brian Laundrie, went on a cross-country trip. In short, Brian returned, but Gabby did not. Her remains were found 19 days after his return, and her cause of death was strangulation. He is now on the lam/missing. And under indictment for using Gabby’s debit card after her death.
This week, I am going to break down the chain of events in the Gabby Petito/Brian Laundrie case from the start of their #vanlife up to and including the Coroner’s press release and finding Brian Laundrie’s remains.

Was Shadivia Phillips Found Guilty?
Was Shadivia Phillips found guilty? A while ago, I wrote an article about some real crimes that went viral. The Shadivia Keauslatyke Phillips case was one such crime after some bystanders recorded the altercation between her and the victim, over a parking spot. That post became popular for the Google search of whether or not she was found guilty, so I decided to answer that question.
