I came away tonight with far more respect for the Prosecution than I had ever expected to have. The reality is someone has to defend the Pedophile in our society, to defend the undefendable, because that is what it means to have Enlightenment Values, and you have to give it to Binger; he absolutely without a doubt gave it his all today.

The field as I see it looks like this:
Judge= Neutral (
which happens to work on the side of the Defense)
Defense= Poor with the Jury, good with the Judge, is contending with Media/Public-Opinion Bias,
but has the Evidence overwhelmingly on their side.
Prosecution= Strong with the Jury, bad with the Judge, has the Media/Public-Opinion on their side,
but is horrifically disadvantaged by the Evidence.
This, I think, has a created an engaging Trial of extremes.
These extremes began, speaking strictly within the confines of the courtroom, during the Pre-Trial. Initially the Prosecution came out with seemingly baffling strategies that only pissed off the Judge, but in retrospect it was clear that it was the only real chance the Prosecution had to shift their main disadvantage to their side, and in reality I actually think it was the right strategy to attempt. However, because it failed they are now trapped with Evidence and Witnesses that can only be worked with from a Narrative angle.
And watching Binger try with all his might to attempt the impossible was truly a sight to behold. While the Defense is awful when interacting with the Jury and Witnesses, you can't deny that Binger has absolute composure and grace, and it is unbelievably fascinating to watch him work, like a hunter stalking his prey, trying for hours upon hours to create one single small opening. There was once or twice tonight where he almost managed to make a chip, but quickly lost it.
Tonight felt like a unfortunate turning point for the Prosecution, and a real opening for the Defense. The Defense has already laid the Evidence out, and the Evidence has continued to work in their favor, but in order to win this they absolutely need to nail the Narrative angle. They need to get the Jury to
feel something when they are faced with the Evidence. They need that story, and unfortunately, they are going to have struggle against their Jury/Witness interaction deficiency.
Binger with steady poise tonight tried exactly that, which for him may be the impossible, yet despite this he showed footage after footage of Rosenbaum dying, with attempt after attempt to get those emotions to fly, and it was a valiant effort on his part.
But the reality is the Evidence is what it is. We didn't feel anything as we watched Rosenbaum die, the Jury most likely didn't, the Witness didn't, and most importantly Rittenhouse didn't.
Why is that?
Because Rosenbaum
wanted to die. Not only did Rosenbaum want to die, but all of us wanted him to die. There wasn't a single atom or molecule in this universe that didn't want Rosenbaum dead, himself wanting it the most out of us all.
The reality is Kyle Rittenhouse went out that night with the intention to work as a Medic. He spent all night making his presence known to the citizens of that city that he was there to heal. And the reality is Rosenbaum ran at Kyle because he needed healing. He needed to die. Those bullets were made for Rosenbaum, those bullets were his cure.
Kyle Rittenhouse fulfilled his duty as Medic that night.
And that's what we see when we watch that footage, a man being saved from himself by a baby faced angel straight from the heavens wielding a AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle.

And that's what this clumsy boomer Defense needs to spin Narratively. They have the Evidence, and they have the Judge, but they must transcend their deficiencies with the Jury and make them
feel the truth in the same way the Prosecution has been attempting to.
The field is stacked in their favor now, they just need to tell the story right.
