Kyle Rittenhouse trial & updates [Verdict: NOT GUILTY]

[RJB]

Judge sent the jury out to tell the prosecutor he is way out of line. Seemed like the prosecution may push this into a mistrial.

They have nothing major on Rittenhouse. The prosecutor is focusing on mickey mouse garbage.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Judge admonishing the prosecutor again.

 

[RJB]

This is like the turn of the century when they were blaming violence on video games.

He's playing games. He’s trying to antagonize Rittenhouse into saying anything they can use as a sound bite.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

The prosecution and leftist media are focusing on the evilness of the “AR-15”.

The kid was a volunteer Jr. firefighter. You can't get more upstanding then that at his age. The slimy prosecutor is trying to make him look bad for this.

Prosecutor is trying to make a personality case that Rittenhouse is a power seeking maniac that wanted to wear a uniform and be an authority figure.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Damn, this prosecutor is a condescending slime ball.

He is taking advantage of the fact that Rittenhouse will say “yes” to just about anything. Judge is going to ream the prosecutor again.

 

[tod evans]

Prosecutor comes off as a holier than thou asshole..

It should bite him in the ass.

 

[spudea]

every single legal analyst said it was too risky for Kyle to testify, and it wasn't needed since the prosecution torpedoed their own case. So why did they put him on the stand?

Wow, judge is yelling at the prosecutor at the top of his lungs....

This would have been a mistrial with prejudice if it weren't for the media hype. A normal trial would be over. But the judge is hesitant because he knows what will happen if he declares a mistrial. And the prosecutor knows it too. Which is why he feels free to make a mockery of the trial.

 

[acptulsa]

More prosecutorial misconduct.

Rittenhouse may have insisted because he wanted to tell "his side of the story".

(Lawyers are not permitted to prevent their clients from testifying if they insist on doing so.)

 

[Brian4Liberty]

The prosecutor is claiming that his statements which Rittenhouse responds “yes” to allow him to go anywhere he wants with the questioning.

Prosecutor has continually used the term “impeach”. He is “impeaching” Rittenhouse based upon words he put into Rittenhouse's mouth. It is also a subtle way to relate this to Trump.

Judge is pissed because the Judge had already prohibited the prosecutor from the line of questioning the prosecutor is using. Prosecutor has also violated the law and established legal standards.

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.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

The defense should have counseled Rittenhouse on cross examination. He needs an electric shock every time he says “yes” or “correct” to the prosecutor putting words in his mouth.

 

[RJB]

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

 

[Brian4Liberty]

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

Court adjourned until 12:45 Central time.
