![]() ![]() I readily agree to be friends with another young girl in return for her help. Season two proves that Telltale can still subvert expectations, even within simple dialogue options. I worry more about guiding her down the darker paths Telltale offers. Protecting Clementine from walkers is the easy part. Clementine isn't exactly a blank slate-at this point she has seriously seen some things-but do I want to make her jaded and cold, bitter about what she's been through? The answer is no. But I'm not sure how far I want to take that manipulation. Clem's faux innocence is a fun and welcome change from season one's Lee, who couldn't turn on the puppy dog eyes and manipulate someone by saying "I can tell you're nice."Ĭlementine can. She can, for example, play on the sympathy of adults, whimpering that she's just a helpless kid. When you finally get to make dialogue choices, it's clear that Telltale put a lot of thought into how Clementine should work as a protagonist. Instead, she spends a good bit of the episode fending for herself, and we only get teases of backstory on the new cast. I wanted more opportunities to talk to the survivors Clem meets, and more time to learn about them. Unfortunately, for roughly the first half of this one-and-a-half-hour episode, there are few people for Clem to talk to, and most of the decisions and dialogue options that come into play in the second half of the episode feel like groundwork for the rest of the season. Those morality-bending dialogue options are still The Walking Dead's main hook. ![]() ![]() ![]() I can think of several other examples of this same phenomenon. I am a civil rights attorney, and so I will reference Trayvon Martin and how when George Zimmerman was on trial for killing Trayvon Martin, who was the same age as Kyle Rittenhouse at that time, he did not enjoy the same level of protection or shielding or infantilization as we saw from Rittenhouse in this trial. He had the protection and privilege of being able to be seen as a 17-year-old young man in spaces that aren't necessarily as kind to other people of that age. The second thing that I think made it effective for him to get on the stand is basically I have seen throughout the course of this trial in the media and the public how Rittenhouse was in many respects infantilized. And his presentation on the stand did just that. And I think that given what his age is and given the age that he had when he committed this - when he was accused of this crime, that needed to be something that the jury was reminded of. He came off kind of sort of happy-go-lucky as a regular teenager. He did not come off as smug or indignant. The first of which was he was very well prepared. ![]() Why? What do you think it was about it?ĬOLEMAN: Well, I think there were a couple of things about his testimony that, you know, when I saw the case, made me believe that it was going to be a good thing for him to get on the stand. It's unusual for a teenager to go on the stand, but it appears to have worked to convince the jury that he acted in self-defense. KELLY: Stay with what you cited as effective testimony, which was Rittenhouse himself taking the stand. And so as this trial unfolded, there were many signs that I saw around why I didn't think we were going to see a conviction in this case. But I also think the testimony of Kyle Rittenhouse on the stand was very effective for the defense in terms of establishing the self-defense claim that it wanted to assert in terms of his acquittal.Īnd when I watched the prosecutor go through a relatively ineffective, technically sound, but still nonetheless lengthy and kind of boring cross-examination, I really wondered what is it that the prosecution is going to be able to hold its hat on? And even despite pulling together what I thought was a very sound summation, I just didn't think that they were going to be able to do enough in order to convince this jury that they had met their burden. And that was a huge negative in terms of them being able to establish their case and meet their burden beyond a reasonable doubt. Each of the witnesses that the prosecution put forward did something to help their case, but they also did something that was harmful to their case. One of them was that the prosecution had a very difficult time establishing its own case through its own witnesses. KELLY: I know you have said you saw this coming, and I'm curious what specifically about the trial signaled to you this was how it would turn out.ĬOLEMAN: Well, there were a few things that I saw that, in my experience as a former prosecutor, definitely let me know that the tea leaves were leaning toward an acquittal. Welcome.ĬHARLES COLEMAN JR: Thanks for having me, so glad to talk to you all this evening. He's a civil rights lawyer and a former prosecutor. Joining me for analysis of that verdict is Charles Coleman Jr. Today, the jury acquitted Rittenhouse of all five charges.
