Virginia NAACP Releases Statement on Not Guilty Verdict in Kyle Rittenhouse Case

RICHMOND – Virginia State Conference NAACP President Robert N. Barnette, Jr. issued the following statement following the not guilty verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse Case:

“Like so many Americans, I am disappointed in the failure of the court to deliver justice in this precedent-setting trial. Today’s verdict proves once again that white supremacy remains alive and well, and the Virginia NAACP will continue its valiant efforts to continuously improve our justice system.”
