DANA PERINO (CO-ANCHOR): Jonna what is it like today for Kyle Rittenhouse as he sits and waits?

JONNA SPILBOR (CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY): You know he's an 18-year-old kid, this happened when he was 17. He has been, you know, he is one juror away from spending life in prison potentially. And it's got to be incredibly nerve-wracking. It's also, in a sense he's a little bit of an icon for those of us who believe that he did mount a very good self-defense defense. I was listening to Tucker last night Dana Loesch said self-defense is on trial here. I wholeheartedly agree with that.
