Quoted: My anger level still hasn't subsided with the judge for giving the prosecution a cheap ass win. He should have known better and I think his overall performance today was poor from the bench. View Quote He may already have decided to grant the mistrial with prejudice... he has another case scheduled to start monday. |

Quoted: While he is 100% correct on the lawyer's ignorance, if he would have watched it a bit further, Mr. Slimeball went on to try to corner Kyle into his using FMJ ammo because he didn't want the bullet to stop inside the intended target, but to go through them, and continue to endanger others. At least, that was my recollection from yesterday's shitshow. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Comments on this? ( Colion hasn't been watching has he?) Kyle Rittenhouse Prosecutor Says Hollow Point Bullets 'Explode' Showing Firearm Ignorance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToPNiGW4WJo At least, that was my recollection from yesterday's shitshow. You’re recollection is correct. Binger was trying to say hollow point were safer because they don’t pass through. If Kyle would have agree that he should have used hollow points, Binger would have said,” so you wanted to cause the most damage?” And then go on to “Hollow point kill, so you really wanted to kill those you shot?” How Kyle got out of that is beyond me, but Binger will include part of this in his closing. “ he didn’t care what ammo he uses, he was irresponsible in is choice, he really only need to shoot a Rosenbum once, the rest was excessive.” |

Quoted: I believe the people of Wisconsin are made of sterner stuff than some of you guys are giving credit for. We may well end with a hung jury but I think a directed verdict or mistrial with prejudice are more likely. Not guilty all counts the most likely, IMO.

Quoted: This. He did 10+ years in prison and was no stranger to pain. Kyle kills him or Rosenbaum takes the rifle and shoots or beats Kyle to death with it. Pepper spray, mace, saps/blackjacks, or ax handles in a Kyle vs Rosenbaum fight result in Kyle dead every time.

Quoted: I think the guy a few posts above is right. Not guilty on murder or other serious charges. Guilty on weapons charge and maybe reckless endangerment.

Not guilty on murder or other serious charges. Guilty on weapons charge and maybe reckless endangerment. The weapons charge cannot be sustained unless the other charges are sustained as well. They were not able to charge KR with it by itself specifically because of how the law is interpreted in this case. This is the charge the judge will clarify to the jury. If he is decided to have a valid claim to self defense, he was not in possession of a dangerous weapon and not in violation of those statutes. |

Quoted: There are no “additional” charges. What is involved here are “lesser included” charges. For example, say that John Doe is charged with First Degree Murder. Through the course of the trial, the prosecution convinces the jury that John Doe did, in fact, shoot and kill his victim. But the jury is not convinced that John Doe planned and premeditated the killing. By law in the jurisdiction where Mr. Doe is charged, Second Degree Murder is a “lesser included” offense under First Degree Murder. This means that the jury may return a verdict of guilty to Second Degree Murder, having found that Mr. Doe did unlawfully kill his victim. But that really doesn’t matter in a self defense case. As the judge will certainly instruct the jury, if they find Rittenhouse acted in self defense for the top count, that applies to all lesser included charges. View Quote OK. I thought they were bringing additional assault charges for raising his weapon at Ziminski. |

Quoted: Yep, and IMO IF he did point the gun, he needed to say that. For instance, "I heard something, turned and saw Mr. Zaminsky raising a firearm. I briefly brought my rifle up then, determined no threat then saw Pedo man running towards me". Instead, IF the image as small as it is, shows an AR15 parallel to the ground..he's cooked IMO. Everything thereafter is no self defense. View Quote Would that be parallel to the ground, or pointing at an angle to the side that looks parallel on a blurry image? |

Quoted: It’s difficult for me to imagine myself being that spineless. I’m not in their shoes, but still. What’s Ben’s user motto on here? “It’s not about you.” In this case, it’s about facts and justice. ETA: Jury intimidation should be a 25-to-life charge, too. View Quote Jury intimidation isn't an anything charge if the authorities don't enforce the rule of law. We're loooonnnng past that point. Not a damn thing will happen to anyone regarding behavior towards the jury. I hope the kid walks, and I hope the left loses their shit over it in a way that is good for us. But in the long run courts, juries, and laws aren't going to fix jack shit; the left has no intention of sticking to any rules or involving us in a good faith attempt at a functional society. |

Quoted: Well, yeah, but.... let's face it.... considering what happened to him, if he hadn't had that AR with him, he'd be dead now. Anybody disagree? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: taking an ar15 into a fluid group situation with rioters and innocent bystanders and then firing the weapon could be considered reckless endangerment. Well, yeah, but.... let's face it.... considering what happened to him, if he hadn't had that AR with him, he'd be dead now. Anybody disagree? that really is an interesting question. gonna prolly make folks mad but here it goes. kyle was in a group of similarly looking folks at one of the car locations and that group enraged a bunch of rioters. there was one person in the group i think that looked similar to kyle and mabye (or maybe not) pedoboy thought it was that guy he chased down. but anyone carrying the ar15 and most likely being recognized as a member of the previous confrontation is what caught pedoboys attention and he was separated from the herd, easily recognized and pedoboy attacked thinking he could get the prison yard jump on kyle. if kyle had not been there or maybe even been in the background and not carried the rifle, i dont think pedoboy would have recognized him and chased him down. and... all of the individuals that were attacking him were going for his rifle as the brass ring. |

Quoted: No thanks There's a lot in play with the judge and it would not surprise me at all to see him take the case entirely into his own hands based on how the State has handled it so far View Quote This is what I hope, but I don't think will happen. The judge seems like a very principled "by the book" kind of guy. He probably believes that the DA fucked this case up to hell and back, but I don't see him usurping the legal process by throwing out the whole case from the bench. It's also why our beloved principled supreme court justices weigh in with bullshit cop-outs like "no standing". They don't want to be responsible for singlehandedly deciding a case when in reality they absolutely are in the "right" to do so. |

Tapes/recordings are nott optimal. Many times witnesses speak so softly as to be inaudible. They area only as good as the tech running them. People also tend to talk over each other and you wind up with wargarble.
