Question about Rittenhouse jury instructions.

Did the judge say the defendant has the burden of proof on the issue of self defense? Or did he say that it was the state's burden to disprove self defense beyond a reasonable doubt?
Always kind of wonder what a jury makes of that big pile of law being dumped on them at the end.

Senator Leahy trivia I just read

He appeared in five of the Batman movies and has attended at least six Grateful Dead concerts.

I just read in Politico Playbook

That Patrick Leahy is the only Democratic Senator ever elected in the history of Vermont. Is that true? Am I reading that right?
Sounds like that has to be wrong. Vermonters?

So there were three stories about VP Harris this weekend

Two on CNN.com and one in Politico. They weren't complimentary. When that happens it usually isn't a coincidence. Somebody has an agenda and wants to get a message out there. I have no idea who or why.
There is one thing I noticed a while ago. Politico Playbook most mornings will publish their version of the President's schedule. They will list the time the President gets the daily brief. Back in the early part of the year it always said VP Harris was present to get the brief with the President.
Awhile ago I noticed she isn't present anymore. For a while now it's just been listing the President getting the daily brief by himself.
I have no idea what that means, if anything. But I was reminded of it when I saw the three stories about the VP this weekend.

Anybody following the Theranos trial?

That's actually the one I would watch it it were televised. My phone must know I'm interested. Recaps keep popping up out of nowhere.
I mean basically it sounds like the financial scam of the century. A 20 year old drops out of college and somehow entrances wealthy gullible investors to spend multi millions of dollars with basically no proof of a technology that worked. Have to give her credit: That's some chutzpa!
The feds are resting their case after presenting a long parade of wealthy and or powerful people who were happy to hand over somebody's money in this scam.
Interesting to see if she will testify. That I would like to watch.
Only know what I read but it sounds like a strong case for the feds.
