CHICAGO (NewsNation Now) — The jurors who will decide Kyle Rittenhouse’s fate will be allowed to consider lesser charges if they opt to acquit him on some of the original counts prosecutors brought, the judge said Friday during a contentious hearing in which both sides could claim partial victory.

Robert Patillo, civil rights and criminal defense attorney and host of the podcast “Informed Consent,” and former federal prosecutor Phillip Turner join “On Balance” to discuss the trial.

The organizer of a migrant caravan that has withered to 1,300 people said it could balloon to 10,000 people next week as they march north to the U.S. border.

Lt. Chris Olivarez of the Texas Department of Public Safety joins the show to discuss the current situation at the U.S.-Mexico border.
