Kyle Rittenhouse Legal Proceedings - Come for the trial, stay for….

[Dumb Bitch Smoothie]

The only people I like listening to are the judge and Chirafisi. Everyone else gives me secondhand embarrassment.

 

[What the shit]

Just putting this here to remind people not to approach somebody who has a gun pointed directly at you. Anyways Day 6 is here, let's see how bad the shitshow gets.

So if the poll the jury on a deadlock and it comes to a few guilty votes out of 12 does the state retry the case?

Their has to be a cut off where if the number thinks Kyle is guilty is below a certain threshold then continuing charges becomes a waste of money.

If the trial is hung then the prosecution really doesn't want to retry it, but might try anyway. It'd be a disaster though, given that this trial established a ton to help Kyle with a laser focus, as well as depriving the prosecution of its evidence fuckery, Not to mention resulting in a more hostile judge.

Got this from the legal insurrection live commentary to clear a couple things up that (at least for me.. sorry if already postedView attachment 2701957)
Defense motioned to dismiss gun charge and was denied
Defense is trying to get Gaige impeached based on his roommates comment online (about wishing he killed Kyle)

I still think that's BS. My read says long guns are exempt if over 16.

Which, to be fair, would be a perfectly reasonable way to go. Unfortunately we live in clown world, and I’m sure there are powerful people that want an example to be made. Forgive me if I have little faith in anything in this country after all the shit from the last 2 years.

Its a misdemeanor charge only, so it's be the smallest sting possible. I'd appeal after, too, and get the gun charge overturned for vagueness as well. Hopefully the jury has had enough of Binger's bullshit and just go Not Guilty on everything as a middle finger to the prosecution.

Lol "intermediate range" of a few feet.

Now lemme tell you about how you actually could test the weapon to get a sample, but we didn't do that lol.

It's not a thing for the judge to decide but could be appealed. It's what the judge was referring to when he said it seemed like it should be void for vagueness, but it's not his place to decide that.

Really good appeal grounds though.

Gee so his hand was covered in gunpowder, way to prove he was in fact grabbing for the gun

I swear the prosecution thinks everyone is terminally exceptional so they go over things like they're a Nintendo game's tutorial, when in reality they're the biggest retards for thinking this approach would work.

They are painful to watch.

To be entirely fair, jury members are by definition terminally exceptional - anyone with any brain cells can easily avoid jury duty so the only people left are the kind of people who need this sort of mental handholding.

Sadly the people who would acquit Kyle would traditionally be law and order types that would convict on the gun charge IMO.

The saliva-clicking of the bearded guy is just unholy...

the shitty compensation for being a juror is precisely why imho.

 

[teriyakiburns]

Extensive powder burns to the hand and fracturing. Almost like he was trying to grab the gun when he was shot.

It's ridiculous how much evidence the prosecution has just hidden or waited until the very last minute to order produced. How the fuck do you have a year to prepare for trial and not think until a week into the trial to send drone footage to the lab? It has to be done to prevent the defense to hear about it right?

Yeah if there's nothing else to go on this should be enough to establish Rosenbaum was literally within arms reach of him.

I want to tear my ears out everytime this fucker speaks, my god is he so annoying

Done to delay as much as possible the defence's ability to utilize and examine it, yes. And is part of why a mistrial would be so god damned bad for the prosecution.

 

[teriyakiburns]

They're going to argue that Kyle should have tried to TF2 medic rosenbaum to life again.

 

[Spicey McHaggis]

Ahhh now I get it, they're trying to make it sound like he domed pedobum while he was lying on the ground.

 

[Slimy Time]

Boy I really hate it when they do this. They bring in experts to bore and obfuscate when this isn't really in debate. We know, the kid shot 3 people, killed 2, we know this.

Wound to hands is superficial, therefore not lethal. Gunshot wound to chest is lethal. Thanks doc, who would have guessed?
