Is it possible to summon all the people whose testimony supports the defence as your own witnesses, trip them up with prolonged testimony and then charge them with perjury as a way to get all their useful-to-the-defence testimony scratched?

'Cause I'm starting to wonder.
Fairly sure that would be grounds for a mistrial.

Had Rekeita open on the side. He thinks he heard Binger is going to put Rosenbaum's girlfriend on the stand as a minor witness. If she, that could completely open up a line to disclosing the pedophilia angle. On top of that, Grosskreutz sounds like he'll be on the stand Monday.
Sounds like if they put her to the stand they'll be walking through a total minefield
 
Yeah, acting like a vindictive asshole to your own witness after meandering for hours will get you lots of points and trust from the jury. Nicely done, Binger.

I mean it was actually pretty effective to me who doesn't know much about FBI procedures. Until the defence lawyer demolished it and not only undid the small victory of the prosecution but exposed him for manipulating the poor guy. When he started rapid-firing questions like "and did you want to tell the FBI everything you knew?" it was clear he was setting him up for something.

Lefty will apparently be taking the stand Monday. Also Pedobaum's girlfriend.

For the girlfriend, prosecution will have to walk on eggshells surrounded by landmines not to introduce character evidence about Pedobaum, because at that point the defense can rebut that evidence. Oh he was in a mental hospital because of a suicide attempt? Oh, he beats you? Wait a second, did you know about his convictions for raping little boys?

Lefty might be interesting, and I think it'll backfire on the prosecution.

Why did you draw your gun?
I heard this kid had shot people and saw his gun. I was in fear for my life.
So seeing a potentially hostile person with a gun would put you in fear for your life and compel you to defend yourself with deadly force?
 
Can Balch actually get nailed for perjury over that, or was Binger just being a whiny bitch?
I think it would have to directly contradict a written statement on file somewhere. This may also be why the defense asked him about the FBI writing their own narrative or interpretation after they took down notes to help cover him there.

Sounds like the prosecutor is calling rosenbalms GF tomorrow? Why would you ever do something like that. They're likely going to get in that he was woman beating child molester through her.

They get to ask about his character now because their own witness already did. When she answers there's basically no answer that doesn't pull in his criminal history.

Fat army guy was even worse for him than McGuiness and there was no reason to call him as a prosecution witness. He both fucked up the prosecutors narrative. And, not just opened the door on all kinds of stuff the prosecutor doesn't want in but blew the door off the hinges.
 
Can't they somehow ask Grosskreutz about the interview he gave about emptying his magazine into Kyle, or does that have to have a door opened somehow?
They played McGinnis' post-shooting interviews, why not that?

So his testimony won't get striken or anything?

If he said that before and does anything but admit it they can play it to impeach him.
I'd have to look it up, but I think the statement was not firsthand from Grosskreutz. I think it was a friend of Grosskreutz claiming that Grosskreutz had said that.
 
I guess it doesn't go to Kyle's state of mind because he couldn't read Grosskreutz's mind, but he certainly could interpret his threatening actions with the pistol.

But I really do want the jury to hear it.

I looked it up too and @TheClappening is right - it was the friend who claimed he said it.
