I kinda don't get why Binger was so adamant about getting the drone video in when Kyle said he raised his gun during his defenses direct.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not what I saw/heard. He only threatened to declair mistrial with prejudice IF the DA kept up whatever he was doing is how I heard it. I remember because I kept thinking "why didnt he ask for a mistrial right then and there???!" I remember this as well, but I think during the arguments the prosecution was filibustering, trying to massage the court with his slimy arguments. With the time running late, I think the judge wanted to cool off before hammering out a mistrial then and there. It’s my understanding the bald defense attorney (not a slam, I don’t recall his name) suggested they would file that motion officially with the court asking for a mistrial with prejudice. If defense rests tomorrow, it’s possible the judge could rule on the defense motion to declare a mistrial/prejudice. Everyone goes home for the weekend, justice upheld. Wishful thinking on my part, unfortunately, although I pray that happens. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Watching this trial is absolutely infuriating. It is clear that the left does not even acknowledge the right to self defense. We are supposed to stand by while cities are burned to the ground and let them murder us. The behavior of the prosecution on this case is disgusting. It was all I could do not to smash my tv while watching it. It is obvious that this is about nothing more than politics. Some will say it was poor judgement on his part to be there. Probably, considering the current political climate. However he is an idealistic kid who wanted to help people. 17 year olds like him were what built this country. 17 year old kids helped storm the beaches of Normandy. It is a sad state of affairs in our society that when the commie mobs came to burn our cities that it was left to a 17 year old kid to stand up to them because our political leaders and law enforcement abandoned us. Kyle Rittenhouse is not the only one on trial, we all are on trial and our ability to defend ourselves from commie mobs. This is a political persecution that reaches far beyond one kid. Yup. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I kinda don't get why Binger was so adamant about getting the drone video in when Kyle said he raised his gun during his defenses direct. +1 Zimiski stepped towards KR from between the cars and instructed Rosenbaum to “get him and kill him” as testified by Kyle. It would seem likely that KR would instinctively bring his rifle to bear on Zimiski if Zimiski had his gun out while approaching KR. I thought Kyle already admitted to this during direct, but I didn’t rewatch it. Then... KR already testified he pointed his rifle at Rosenbaum and it did not deter the charge. KR retreated again until the he was cornered, turning around finally shooting the attacker who was close enough to grab his rifle. |

Pretty good article here...
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/11/the_rittenhouse_case_highlights_tyrannical_prosecutors.html The only reasonable conclusions are that Graveley brought this case (1) to punish Rittenhouse for defending himself and (2) to nullify the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in self-defense. And indeed, in his comments today to the Judge, ADA Binger admitted the latter. This, from Andrew Branca, recounting at Legal Insurrection what happened at the trial yesterday Binger took this opportunity to assure the judge that as far as the prosecution was concerned, Kyle very much was on trial for poor judgment, as it was of the state’s theory of the case that none of these shootings would have occurred but for Kyle’s poor judgment of going to Kenosha that night with an AR. As many have said here, Kyle isn't the only one on trial here. The second amendment and our right of self defense is the real target. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: The DA is doing a very good job of painting Kyle as having murdered an unarmed man. ETA: I do not think it will resonate with the jury like it does in his own head but the raw facts are what they are. the raw facts are he killed an unarmed ASSAILANT, not some random unarmed man. Prosecutor kinda threw that to the wayside with the "he never hit you or touched you in any way". (again, don't view this through "our" lens. Try to think in simple ways, you know, like a leftist) except he didn't - he cannot erase the fact that Kyle was being pursued - for what a pat on the back? Rosenbaum, a convicted pedophile, wanted to touch the minor KR. In a really bad way. KR would not let him. LF thinks that's unfair. |

It puts the heat on the judge, who is older than I, and I'm already past giving a fuck about a bunch of Communists wanting me dead for doing my job. And if somebody kills a judge for this, there are millions of us who will be hopping mad about it. Now imagine just one of those millions gets testicular cancer and decides ventilating Graveley, Binger, and Grosskreutz would be more fun that having his nuts cut off. Better would have been looking Binger right in the eye yesterday morning, saying "you did this", and ending the trial right there. Then the commies could hate Binger as much as they hate the judge. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: After what the state tried on cross in this trial, I don't see how he is going to be a helpful state witness in the Ziminsky case. DeBruin didn't like seeing his town burned to the ground. He was glad his photos were being used to identify those responsible. But, when the state comes after you the way they did, even if over some misunderstanding, probably a misunderstanding that could have been easily cleared up if the state's attorneys really cared ... it's understandable for someone to say fuck it all and become very uncooperative. Especially after seeing how the Car Source Brothers stepped up to the plate. Having your life destroyed to prosecute someone who vandalized the Car Source place? Yeah, fuck that. Good luck, Sam. Good thing you guys only had, what did you say, $75 thousand dollars in damage? Yeah, go fuck yourselves if you think my life is worth that. |

He knew the judges hands were tied by how high profile the case was and he could do what he wanted. So far the DA is going hard in the paint and winning the battle between himself and the court process. He’s gotten two things in front of the jury that the court doesn’t allow and so far has gotten away with it….regardless of the “yelling judge”. |

The question was if they wanted to “guarantee” a Tuesday (or even Monday) finish, they might have to be in court on Saturday. They decided that there was enough time during regular hours, could finish Tuesday instead of an accelerated Monday schedule, and Saturday would not be needed.

The left will use it to fan the flames and the moronic public will nod and screech and carry it to the streets. Of course, any outcome that doesn't result in KR going to prison will probably have the same effect, but doing it after the jury verdict will almost certainly ramp up the intensity. Maybe we need that... I'm not sure which is worse, total collapse or teetering on the edge. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Judge can order MISTRIAL after jury returns verdict. Very likely the judge is waiting to see what the jury does before ruling. Mistrial based on prosecutor's grievous constitutional abuse is moot if jury rules NG on all counts. Moreover, if jury renders NG on some counts, same applies. Jeopardy attached, and NG counts cannot be retried. Prosecutor knows how well and truly fucked he is. It's either acquittal on all counts, or prosecutor has to start over on any counts where jury renders guilty verdict. I was wondering about that, if the jury voted guilty if the judge could go "lol no, dismissed". Worse optics than a Walmart red dot. The judge is already being accused of steering the trial in KR's favor; do this and the country will be in flames by spring. I'm not necessarily opposed. The trial itself, from the events leading up to it to the manner in which it's playing out, is a clear illustration of a society on the verge of collapse. We all know what's coming.

Of course, any outcome that doesn't result in KR going to prison will probably have the same effect, but doing it after the jury verdict will almost certainly ramp up the intensity. Maybe we need that... I'm not sure which is worse, total collapse or teetering on the edge. I don't think there is going to be any nationwide riots over this, even if the judge sets aside the verdict (directed verdict.) It was a white kid greasing other white dudes. POCs aren't going to stick their necks out for a couple of ofay fellow travelers. |
