If Ziminski was put on the witness stand, and the defense asked him a question like “Did you start any fires on the night of August 25th?"
If he gave any answer other than “I wish to assert my 5th amendment rights,” then that could later be used against him at his arson trial, right? Or if he said during the current Rittenhouse trial something like “The sky was red during the day of August 25th.” Then later during his arson trial if he was stupid enough to take the stand and said something like “The sky was blue on August 25th, “ then a good prosecutor would say “During the Rittenhouse trial, you said the sky was red. Now you are saying it was blue. Were you lying to us then or are you lying to us now?" |

I don't know how anyone could watch this trial and not hate the ADA.

Quoted: This reminds me of the Brady Bunch episode where Greg kept blowing up a picture he took of a football game, where a completed pass was said to be out of bounds. Remember that one? They kept enlarging it and enlarging it and, in the finished pic, you could see the fucking blades of grass and every detail of the player's foot! That's how absurd this whole thing is! And, as unbelievable. View Quote @Former11BRAVO Well was he out?? |

Quoted: Reuters: Prosecutors want jury to consider lesser charges in U.S. teen Rittenhouse's murder trial View Quote Allowing the persecution to add new charges this far into the case when the defense hasn't had any chance to prepare arguments or call witnesses to refute the charges is absolute bullshit. Of course the judge has allowed the prosecution to get away with everything short of taking a shit on his bench so I can't see him stopping it. |

Rittenhouse, 18, said on the stand that he is a college student at Arizona State University studying nursing. ASU confirmed that Rittenhouse enrolled as a non-degree-seeking online student for the session that started in mid-October of this year. |

Quoted: Not an expert, but it should be telling they did not call Ziminski to testify that Kyle pointed an AR15 at him View Quote I didn’t follow the pre-trial rulings to know whether there was a reason they couldn’t call them and don’t know Wisconsin’s law on making absent witness arguments, but if it’s permitted if I were Kyle’s lawyers I would be making the argument that the jurors should assume that the reason the State is relying on this blurry picture instead of calling Joshua Ziminski as a witness is because Ziminski’s testimony would not support the prosecution’s theory. |

I don’t suppose the defense attorney took a still photograph of the Jump Kick guy and showed it to GG while he was on the witness stand and asked :
1. Do you know who this person is? 2. Had you ever talked with this person, before, during, or after Mr. Rittenhouse turned your arm into hamburger? 3. Had you ever texted with this person or received texts from this person? |

Quoted: The technician's workflow [stabilization, levels, enlargement via an unstated method, etc] resulted in a presumably clear image of what was on the sign. How does that compare to what the sign looks like in real life? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Uploading another video. I cannot match this still frame to anything close in the video. This submitted picture shows a pretty clear left handed weaver style stance, and I just don't see it anywhere. I don't want to say it's a fake doctored photo, but I'm not seeing it in the video. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FD8qOFQXIAUHEF9?format=jpg&name=medium Uh, The first unaltered picture sure looks like a random person who could have a black rifle slung across his chest, maybe. The photoshopped abomination doesn't even show that. I can't believe that is admissible as any form of evidence. The defense is going to rip that crap to shreds. |

Quoted: The fact there is any doubt about the case or it even got brought to trial means we're truly fucked. The state is completely corrupt and out of control.

Quoted: I've been sprayed. It would be better if kyle could spray him over a car or something to give the stuff a few seconds to start working. Once it started working, that would be the end of that and kyle could walk back to the gas station. Rosenbaum caused this whole thing. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Have you ever been pepper sprayed? I recommend you have someone spray you, no joke. It doesn’t incapacitate instantly (it might, might not), and it doesn’t make an attacker disappear in a puff of smoke. It does affect vision, making it easier to escape an assailant, but that doesn’t help if they’re in the escape path. Pepper spray is a great tool, but not nearly as versatile as you’d imagine. It’s perfect for dissuading a semi-committed attacker, and bears. For Kyle’s situation, it might have made the beat down he was going to get even worse. I've been sprayed. It would be better if kyle could spray him over a car or something to give the stuff a few seconds to start working. Once it started working, that would be the end of that and kyle could walk back to the gas station. Rosenbaum caused this whole thing. Kyle had been sprayed, it's a favorite antifa tactic, and I'm surprised no one sprayed him as he fled. They think it's a perfectly justified form of violence to use against anyone who disagrees with them. |

She said "He shot and killed 2 people who had assembled to affirm the value, dignity, and worth of black lives". I guess she hasn't seen the video of the half-pint pedo yelling "shoot me, n*gger" over & over. I guess she isn't aware that while peaceful protestors were trying to have their message heard, he was undermining their efforts just to burn and break shit. Does she really think this guy was there to support their cause? Does she really think he did anything but hurt it? Meanwhile Kyle was providing medical aid to protestors, cleaning obscene graffiti from public buildings, and protecting businesses owned by people of color. |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Besides, you can be an "acting " EMT without the certs, within limits of training or knowledge At that point you work under the provisions of whatever good samaritan laws exist in the state. My EMT expired years ago but I know how to use every tool in my jump kit, evaluate, treat, package, and transport a patient. AFAIK however my current WFA cert defines my level of training, legally. TBH the boundaries are always a little vague when we discuss them in classes. I think hte good samaritan laws are designed and enforced with a lot of leniency (gross negligence standard of harm) to avoid discouraging people from helping. I still stop at car accidents and render aid, these days in an urban area that's an antiquated notion. |

Quoted: I'm failing to understand how the supposed video of pointing with the rifle earlier has any impact on the self defense determination. WI 939.48 (2) Provocation affects the privilege of self-defense as follows: (a) A person who engages in unlawful conduct of a type likely to provoke others to attack him or her and thereby does provoke an attack is not entitled to claim the privilege of self-defense against such attack, except when the attack which ensues is of a type causing the person engaging in the unlawful conduct to reasonably believe that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm. In such a case, the person engaging in the unlawful conduct is privileged to act in self-defense, but the person is not privileged to resort to the use of force intended or likely to cause death to the person's assailant unless the person reasonably believes he or she has exhausted every other reasonable means to escape from or otherwise avoid death or great bodily harm at the hands of his or her assailant. (b) The privilege lost by provocation may be regained if the actor in good faith withdraws from the fight and gives adequate notice thereof to his or her assailant. (c) A person who provokes an attack, whether by lawful or unlawful conduct, with intent to use such an attack as an excuse to cause death or great bodily harm to his or her assailant is not entitled to claim the privilege of self-defense. If provoking, he would not be entitled to claim self defense - at that time - per part 'a'. But part 'b' says he can regain that privilege by withdrawing / retreating - which he clearly did. Does part 'c' negate part 'b'? I don't know, but I think its moot. Why? The prosecution has absolutely nothing that shows a shred of intent on Kyle's part that his objective was to cause harm, let alone being able to conclusively prove it. View Quote I had the same question. I believe they said he can't claim self defense if he started it. Or maybe it damages his self defense if he started it. But that's what's going on. |

I made the mistake of reading the MSNBC article on Kyle’s testimony. I typically stay off of the propaganda sites but was curious how things were being portrayed.
They are actively attempting to incite violence. It’s utterly mind boggling the complete disconnect with reality. |

Quoted: Every single image zoom methodology is adding pixels. All of them. There are no exceptions. If you count the pixels in this text and then zoom in, you will find there are, in fact, more pixels. Where did they come from? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: wtf not all cases do you "add pixels" when expanding - it all depends on the resolution of the base picture compared to the resolution of the display device. wtf is wrong, they should be able to get this idiot tossed immediately for missing this glaring detail Every single image zoom methodology is adding pixels. All of them. There are no exceptions. If you count the pixels in this text and then zoom in, you will find there are, in fact, more pixels. Where did they come from? Typical courtroom enlargements are made so the jury can see the image from afar. Not so the state can argue that estimated data based on originally compressed data that threw out full values for the sake of file size constitutes proof beyond reasonable doubt over someone's countenance and demeanor. Think about the pedantic questioning that followed Huber's aunt submitting the photo of her nephew: State's Attorney: Is this a true and accurate image of Mr Huber? Let's remember ... this all started with the state's witness saying that he was viewing this on his iPhone and he zoomed in on the video to see what Kyle was doing. His iPhone most likely already had a screen resolution that was greater than the native resolution of the drone video. So, he's zooming in on something the evidence tech had already stabilized and did a 200%+ enlargement on? And he is making a judgement based on that? The defense will get to address this in closing, if they choose. Though, it would have been more powerful to have the detective pull out his phone and demonstrate how he did this. |

If you count the pixels in this text and then zoom in, you will find there are, in fact, more pixels. Where did they come from? View Quote You are right, however when you zoom and don’t change pixel colors you get a square of pixels that are the same color as the original pixel. The enhancement algorithms try to adjust to maintain original lines or edge of colors. The problem with the analysts work is he did not show multiple types of enhancements to see if you get similar results. The other issue is enhancement does not clearly show what is being enhanced is at Kyle or something else in front or behind. The whole we saw from way down the street he pointed a gun at someone is bullshit. He could have been lifting the rifle to adjust his sling or any other reason to hold the rifle up. There is no close good evidence and they are grasping on interpolation of pixels. All while there is obvious evidence the perv was willing to provoke arm groups of people. |
