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

[MrJokerRager]

That's going to depend on what bullshittery the prosecution pulls for closing statements, but... its pretty bad in general because it leaves the door open for the jury to give in to the idea of provocation to remove self-defense.

You know Wisconsin better than anyone here, what are the odds that this jury decides to nuke all trust in America's justice system?

 

[Gehenna]

It's not damning on its own, but it's a massive door for damnation to walk through. And made worse by the fact the Defense was -winning that argument- then decided "ah fuck it". That crosses pretty harshly into malpractice territory, it's that bad of a fuckup.

 

[Collections Agent]

Defense absolutely dropped the ball there at the end.

If they can say the Pedo was threatened and responded in self defense, Kyle is screwed. Possibly all the later self defense as well.

That was probably the worst time to fall apart.

Didn't that motherfucker charge at him across an entire parking lot?

Self defense? What?

 

[Leave_Fargut]

The danger is that the jury can reason that Rittenhouse provoked by his presence because they're not limited by the legal definition of provocation

Given the number of wondrous individuals on social media who think having a gun in public is "looking for trouble", there's a real chance there could be jurors who feel him having the AR is provocative in and of itself. He would be fucked, if so

 

[MelloYello]

That this was a clear cut innocent child being crucified for daring to protect himself, and any guilt is purely of not worshipping the right politicians.

Correction: He was crucified for daring to stand in the way of niggers and antifa burning down the city.
They want their footsoldiers to be able to act with impunity.

He's got good odds of getting off. The Wisconsin is pozzed shit is way overplayed.

 

[Soda Can]

Focus on the naughty chair, Court TV, that's the pro way.

 

[SmugAutist]

I have no faith in the jury, especially now. Defense fucked up several times now but this was the worst one to fuck up. Guilty on all charges if provocation goes through. Should've gone for directed verdict or mistrail.

 

[karadion]

We haven't gotten to closing arguments, guys. Don't freak the fuck out. Prosecution is going to have their shit predictable argument that's nonsensical. We don't know what defense will say.

 

[Aqua Panda]

Didn't that motherfucker charge at him across an entire parking lot?

Self defense? What?

They are claiming Kyle pointing the gun at him was provocation enough to charge.

It's fucked but if the jury believes it, the entire defense is screwed.

 

[Meat Target]

Didn't that motherfucker charge at him across an entire parking lot?

Self defense? What?

They have all that other testimony of pedo being belligerent and making threats.

I desperately hope 47 does closing.

Also, why does Binger need 2.5 hours for closing?

 

[Abbadon's Gate]

Antifags will show up and make it violent. They always do.

Stay home and enjoy the milk.

I'm of the mind that you either stand up and defend yourself and your people or you just submit, quit your job and start asking for UBI.

Merely staying home is the long road to the same path if you do nothing.

Unwilling to say now. I was on the side of "Easy Not Guilty Verdict", but this was a massive own goal. Not enough to tank it on its own, but fucking crippling down the line.

 

[CharlesBarkley]

Gonna be interesting. Two outcomes…
1. Innocent - Twitter/Reddit complain about white nationalism and proud boys or something for a week, then get over it. Social media instead implodes on Ahaud Arbery.

2. Guilty - %50+ of Americans lose all faith in American justice system after watching a proscution crash and burn for days but somehow still manage to win and we get one step closer to balkanization, lol.

 

[Oxous]

If this board had an rating I'd give it you ya. They're prob all worried that if they don't convict him like Chauvin, nogs will level the entire city and kill them too.

It's not 2020 anymore. All that shit is mostly in the past now and Kyle isn't an unlikeable asshole like Chauvin.

Because he loves hearing his own goddamn voice on CourtTV? "Siri, play closing argument" *ties belt around check*

He needs to pound on the table in the absence of a solid case. It's the standard practice when your case is weak.

 

[Czechem Republic]

Kinosha and have a mostly peaceful protest of our own.

Turn down the glow level, nigger. And it's "Kenosha".

I'm still pretty over all. Mostly female jury, high likelihood of them being moms, Kyle's testimony will have had an impact on them.

How they gave up on it was just insane. Binger couldn't even point out where Ziminsky was in their video, so what evidence is there that the gun was pointed at them?!? Why didn't they ask that?!? Even the Judge stated that he didn't see Ziminsky!
