Those two charges were likely to stick had they gone to jury as they were misdemeanor criminal charges and no-brainers in the guilty department but by eliminating them from consideration it allowed an all-clear verdict of all charges

His lawyer was a high profile local
“He joined Mr. Rittenhouse’s legal team in September 2020, but took charge of the defense in January 2021, replacing John Pierce, a lawyer who had helped Mr. Rittenhouse raise money for his case and counts members of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers”
So there was a baton swap and it was a smart political move, lessening his association with Proud Boys and Oath Keepers related people in time for the jury case.

I believe our legal system _generally_ works ok most of the time but in celebrity cases like this one – and this is one once Silver Spoons Ricky Shroeder posted Kyle Rittenhouse’s bail and high profile politicians and TV celebrities like Donald Trump got involved – it is what it is.
