Kyle Rittenhouse trial & updates [Verdict: NOT GUILTY]

[dannno]

That’s what it seems like. Not only media hype, but on live TV too.

The prosecutor is auditioning to be a smarmy a-hole on MSNBC.

Winner

If I was on the jury, I would be getting irritated. This questioning is going on forever and going nowhere.

Prosecutor is saying “full metal jacket” as many times as he can to make it sound evil. Sounds bites for the left media. He has Rittenhouse saying he doesn’t know the difference between a FMJ and hollow point, and got him to say “yes” that the gun was stored with a full magazine and a round in the chamber, not in the gun safe, and Rittenhouse took possession of a loaded and racked gun, and carried it all night without ever checking it.

And he also got him to say he had no idea of the range of the AR-15, or if he could shoot it 75 yards.

Ugh. Prosecutor just painted Rittenhouse into a corner on gun knowledge. Making Rittenhouse look like an idiot who should never have had a gun.

I disagree. The prosecutor is desperate to paint him as someone who went looking for trouble, itching to kill someone. He's failing. All he's doing is pushing the envelope and pissing off the judge.

And I'm sure the mainstream media will obligingly cut out the parts where Rittenhouse said about all he knows is hollow point is more damaging than what he had, and the part where the prosecutor improperly testified to the same.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Ugh. Rittenhouse is letting the prosecutor put words in his mouth. He got Rittenhouse to say that he “intentionally used deadly force”.

This is the sound bite that the leftist media will put on infinite repeat.

CNN replaying that sound bite right now.

CNN just now: “Rittenhouse had no business having a gun”.

 

[TheTexan]

Kyle was driving a car... without a driver license!!!!!

GUILTY!!!!

CNN has no business having a camera or microphone, too. No doubt they'll continue to sacrifice their credibility to crucify this kid, no matter what happens.

Kyle was driving a car... without a driver license!!!!!

GUILTY!!!!

I'm surprised CNN isn't all over that. "He drove without permission from Illinois! He wants people to die!"

Maybe for a CNN soundbite, but mostly I think it makes Kyle look less like a psycho obsessed with balistic statistics on what destroys body tissue the best. He's a regular gun owner. None of that proves anything illegal, but we will see.

Overall, putting him on the stand was a crazy idea.

Good stuff. They seem to be in agreement that the prosecutor knows he is going to lose, so he is trying to get a mistrial so he can say it was all the fault of the biased judge.

And also that Binger (the prosecutor) should be sanctioned and even disbarred for his 5th Amendment shenanigans. (Barnes was spittin' fire on that.)

Yeah, it was a bad idea. Especially with a naive young person eager to answer “yes” to anything.

The bullet type was the least damaging part of the gun discussion. More damaging was “yes” to essentially someone handed him a loaded weapon with a round chambered and he simply pulled the trigger later that night, and not knowing that the gun had a range of more than 20 yards. Made him sound like a complete beginner that never should have been carrying.

It can work to a defendant's advantage. It usually doesn't, but these prosecutors seem intent on shooting themselves in the feet.

Also makes him look like someone who was more interested in scaring rioters away than mowing them down.

Let the gun nuts say he's ignorant. The issue is, was this premeditated murder? Being ignorant, lacking compulsive behavior, being fine with less deadly ammo, all sends the right message so far as premeditation, or general bloodthirstiness.

Agree. The actual charges aren't about how experienced he was with guns. And the prosecution has not made a case at all.

But they are playing to the court of public opinion, in a televised trial, with a leftist media to spin it. The goal is not a successful legal prosecution of Rittenhouse. The goal is to create sound bites for the left, and agitate the radical left, probably to riot after the verdict. And the prosecutor wants his MSNBC or CNN gig.

Just wait, the propaganda will come. White guy gets away with murder with help from white judge, both of them exercising their white privilege. And then when Trump says something about the case, heads will explode.

Well, yes, it's more than possible they're advertising publicizing this case because they know it's doomed to fail, and they want more riots. I don't know anything this kid or his lawyers could possibly do to thwart or ameliorate that.

You know the MSM by now. If reality doesn't give them what they need, they'll make stuff up. Like, for instance, since when does a white guy shooting another white guy cause riots? And yet...

 

[Occam's Banana]

Defense moves for mistrial with prejudice.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Judge is yelling again.

 

[Occam's Banana]

Judge straight up tells the prosecutor he thinks the prosecutor is acting in bad faith.

 

[Occam's Banana]

Defense moves for mistrial with prejudice.

Correction: the defense did not move for mistrial - they informed the court that they would be bringing such a motion.

Rittenhouse's testimony is resuming now.
