Kyle Rittenhouse - The Truth in 11 Minutes

While I don't feel Rittenhouse is a murderer, and his actions that night meet the standard of justified under the law as I understand it. I'm uncomfortable celebrating him as a hero. At best I think he was a naive teenager who put himself in a situation he wasn't best prepared to deal with.... He got lucky he wasn't killed that night.

JMO flame on!

Only idiots would celebrate him as a hero

 

[NorthDallas40]

ADA is getting his ass chewed out. This is awesome.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Only idiots would celebrate him as a hero

Also only idiots think he is a murderer

Dead pedos are fine by me so I guess I'm an idiot.

Only idiots would celebrate him as a hero

And likewise viewing the idiots rioting, looting, and vandalizing as victims.

 

[NorthDallas40]

@bamawriter thus far other than entertainment value at seeing the judge put the ADA’s balls in a vice I don’t see any merit materializing in putting him on the stand either.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

But this is teeing it up for the State to save their case. They were dead in the water. The one chance they have is to make Rittenhouse look bad in front of the jury, and the defense could have denied them that opportunity. I don't understand what the defense thinks they're going to get out of this.

I think the prosecution gave the defense everything they needed for acquittal. I would not have put him on the stand.

maybe the prosecutor is angling for a mistrial by violating the judge's earlier ruling - try to get another bite at the apple.

Possibly, but at this point it looks like it would be dismissed due to prosecutorial misconduct over a mistrial. Double Jeopardy would apply and Rittenhouse couldn't be retried.

Where is this idiot ADA going with the bullet type diatribe. I’d rather get hit by an FMJ than a hollow point expanding round

Likely just trying to throw crap at a jury and hope nobody has a clue what he's talking about. (which unfortunately would be true more often than not)

The cognitive dissonance never ceases to astound me.

Crazy to think there are consequences to trying to burn down an entire city over NOTHING

He is attempting to show that the kid doesn't know what the hell he's doing and shouldn't have had the gun in the first place.


He's also proving he doesn't know squat about guns and ammo.

That's exactly the path it will go down because from what I am seeing the prosecutor is acting with no ethics to try to sway the jury.

Because he didn't care to know about hollow point? That doesn't mean you shouldn't have the gun in the first place. It's also irrelevant. It's clear the prosecutor doesn't either. He tried though.

I don't think he's a hero. He tried to be and credit to him for that but he bit off more than he could chew. That doesn't make him guilty of anything though.

It just seems to be the latest chapter in the defense’s master plan of “just let the prosecution talk”

I think regarding the admissibility of the evidence of august 10th... the judge got it right. But he had not issued a ruling prior. The judge indicated he was leaning one way, but left it open. I'd have gone for it too. It is up to opposing counsel to object and for the judge to issue a ruling. The evidence had not been excluded, so therefore... fair game.

He should be convicted on the gun charge. He has admitted all of the elements.

That’s not really a sound strategy. The judge can dismiss, if he does that.

Keep in mind these are the same prosecutors who apparently just forgot to prove the curfew violation. He was also making himself look like a complete moron when it comes to firearms. I think he’s just not very good.

Not sure why they had him testify. Don't think he needed to testify to win.

Curfew violation is a 250 civil infraction.

I think he was also trying to shore up the reckless endangerment, or whatever Wisconsin calls it, by saying the FMJ would pass through the first body.
