Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Day 6 - Gaige Grosskreutz Testimony
We are on Day 6 of the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. Today is the day the state has suggested they will call Gaige Grosskreutz to the stand. This is the state's star witness and may be the last witness they call in their case in chief. Should be explosive!

Gaige Grosskreutz was "trying to surrender" ...

Gaige looks somewhat normal on the stand. I wonder if the prosecution told him, "Before you can testify, you have to be totally clean from meth and soy for at east 1 month."

I hope anyone who plans on opining on the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, whatever it may be, spends significant time watching most or all of the trial, not relying on media accounts.

Almost no trial can be credibly assessed without watching it, but especially one this fraught.

This is yet another one of those bizarre instances -- like 1/6 -- where much of the liberal-left is cheering for the prosecutors and championing pro-law-and-order theories, while the right is enthralled by civil liberties and defendants' rights.

All the more reason to watch.

If Rittenhouse had shot and killed anyone black, that would have been **the headline** of any Intercept article on his case, or any other digital outlet like it. But since all the people he shot were white, they just don't mention their race -- at all!

ARTICLE: Cases Over Far-Right Violence Show Limits — and Opportunities — for Anti-Fascism in the Courts​

The word "white" appears 20 times in the Intercept's very long article on Rittenhouse (based on the unquestioned premise that he's guilty, needless to say). Each time, the word is used to accuse him of being a white supremacist, never once to identify the race of his victims.

Anyway, watch the Rittenhouse trial if you want to opine on the verdict. It's a very interesting trial. And not only will you learn next to nothing about it by relying on mainstream media summaries of it, you'll end up with negative knowledge.

Here's a sampling of the "mainstream media summaries" mentioned by Greenwald. (Of course, none of this will come as a surprise to anyone at RPFs, and many, many other examples can easily be found by anyone who cares too look for them - but it deserves at least a little bit of documentation here.)

Additonal matter hidden to save space:

Note that in the following pic, only the Russia Today item gives any indication that anything in Grosskreutz's testimony might have been something that could have elicited a literal face-palm from one of the prosecutors:

Here a local Fox teleprompter-reader "reports" that "survivor" Grosskreutz testified that "his arms were raised when Rittenhouse shot him":

And Yahoo! News commits the same blatant sin of omission:

Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Day 7 - Is the Prosecution Finished?
Day 7 of this trial, (if you notice a discrepancy, I count jury selection as day 1) and the prosecution had a VERY bad day yesterday with the disastrous testimony of Gaige Grosskreutz. The state should be ending their case in chief today and then we may be moving in to the defense's case.
We may ALSO see a motion to dismiss after the state rests ... we'll see!

Which is why its so hilarious when friends & family continue to say I'm brainwashed by Fox news

Fauci's lies to Congress are under oath and on the record, too. But I don't hear the fat lady singing over him.

Someone was caught video recording the jurors getting on the pool bus yesterday morning. That jury is compromised right now. Nothing is over.

Gee, I wonder which side purposely compromised the jury...

More prosecutorial misconduct. Where do you suppose they'll find twelve people who never heard of this case?

Mongolia? Will they have to bring in lawyers who speak Mandarin?

Are we sure this is isn't some kind of comedy/reality series?

If it comes down to it, the judge should just issue a directed verdict. The judge would get murdered of course but I get the sense he ran out of fucks about that long ago.

Yeah, I don't buy that it's "over" (let alone "beyond over"), either.

I just posted that tweet for the video clip, as yet another piece of evidence that this whole farce of a "trial" is a fucking pathetic joke/travesty.

If jury were to make a decision based on the facts & evidence then it would indeed be over.

But when was last time that "facts" and "evidence" actually made a difference.

Just so.

If "facts" and "evidence" actually made a difference in this case, then there would never even have been any charges in the first place, let alone a trial.
