Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Day 8 Analysis
Posted on November 11, 2021

John @LawyerUp

Some armchair legal quarterbacking following day 8 of the Kyle Rittenhouse self defense trial in Wisconsin. This is an important firearms related self defense case which illustrates the importance of attorney skill and tactics in jury trial advocacy. There’s been some surprising events so far in the trial, including the testimony of the defendant himself today. In fact, something shocking happened during Kyle’s cross examination which may itself be a constitutional violation. Join me to watch some of it and discuss…… Freedom is Scary Episode 80:

I'll be doing another one tonight at 6:30 ET. Chris Weist may join me, not sure yet.

One day I finally get freed up to watch the trial tomorrow and they're gonna do paperwork.....

I do what I can, when I can..... I think this trial is fascinating though.

So lets see what kind of drama happens over the weekend.  Anybody want to guess how many jurors leak to the press or get tainted by somebody talking about the case and have to be removed?

I'm gonna feel robbed if there's not one or two of them getting booted monday morning.

How is that wrong? Pointing your weapon at someone is assault in most states is it not? Also, it is a threat, as we saw from bicep boy. So, one could assume that someone would take exception to that and try to attack said person.

It sucks for sure, but if the image does show something, and I think it must if the judge allowed it, then Kyle is in some hot water.

Once Kyle retreated and was cornered, it was self defense. Pedo had the option to pursue or not. He was already the aggressor when Kyle pointed at him, as a deterrent. Kyle said this happened during his testimony.
This shitty video is supposed to show Kyle pointing a gun at someone that has been cropped out of the image, if I am hearing correctly. I am mostly deaf, so I can't understand everything.

Apparently they can add lesser charges that are part of the major charges. Their video at the end will be their avenue although seeing the pictures now makes me wonder how they even can.

"Lesser included charges"

Literally no chance he walks at this point. Trial has been politicized too far. Having 3 days to intimidate and harrass any potential jurors - as well as for ANTIFAGs to start burning and threatening to loot what's left of Kenosha.

You're almost never going to have a murder case that doesnt have instructions on lesser included charges. In Virginia, the standard only requires some scintilla of evidence that supports the inclusion of the instruction. Every now and then you get all or nothing instructions (and it might be appropriate in this case), but it's uncommon.

Concern trolling?

Quite the opposite. Kyle is 10,000% innocent (even on the gun charge)

The problem is that the state is going to add charges until they get him on "something" at the last minute. Based on the info from the streams; jury sims basically put it at 30/30/30 for (won't change mind, guilty/no preference/won't change mind not guilty). What I fear is going to happen once they add all the additional charges is split verdict bargaining - "We'll vote not guilty on Murder 1 - but you have to vote guilty on Manslaughter"

I can't see shit in the bottom one. In the top I think I see what the state is pointing out? But, and if I'm seeing what it might be it still doesn't make sense. Kyle is right handed. The visual of the what may be the magazine would be blocked by his left arm. His left arm should be in the foreground, not behind the rifle.

Edit: I can't see anything definitive anyways. That is not reasonable. This is not representative of "beyond the shadow of a doubt".

Prosecution going for new lesser included charges and jury instructions for provocation.

That’s their entire case “Kyle was initial provocation and hence any self defense is nullified”

Except that’s not true.

Also nobody talked about crime scene chic recovered unfired .40 cal cartridge at scene.

They didn't provide explanation, they showed the slides for seconds and then that was it. I suspect these are the hinge for closing but were destroyed on cross so they should have little impact.

Who thing went down in under 3 minutes from pedo chasing him to Kyle running away from the one armed bandit towards the cops.

Prosecution wants to make it look like Kyle was just waltzing around shooting peaceful protestors for the lulz.

Yes he did.  He then went on to explain to the state’s attorney that he (the judge) did that very thing to one of his (state’s attorney) colleague not too long ago in the middle of a particularly drawn out closing argument

What's worse it that this is not the enlargement of a photograph.

This is an enlargement of video.  The original video compresses information in both space and time when it writes it to the file.  The original recording of the video isn't even what hit the image sensor.  No, it is compressed in x, y and t.

I just do not think think a 1920x880 image can be enlarged to show what the state is claiming to be shown.

When "smart" enlargement algorithms don't know what they are looking at ... they make stuff up ... based upon ... biases.  Sometimes they get it right to look reasonable, because they have the proper bias behind it, but sometimes they get things comically wrong.

If it isn't reasonably apparent in the unenlarged version, the enlargement is an educated guess.  A computerized educated guess, but based upon data that was already compressed to throw out data.

Binger was trying to discredit Rittenhouse's testimony about not pointing a gun at people other than the ones that he shot. IMO, it's irrelevant as Rittenhouse might have swung the gun towards the sound of gunfire.
