With every passing day, the fact that young Kyle shot in self-defense is becoming more evident—thanks in large part to prosecutorial malfeasance.
On August 25, 2020, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, armed with an AR-15 and a medical kit, went to Kenosha, Wisconsin, to offer first aid and protect businesses against looting and arson. By evening’s end, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber were dead, and Gaige Grosskreutz had a hole in his arm. Rittenhouse is now being tried for murder although he claims—and video evidence and witness testimony confirm—he acted in self-defense.
The trial started this week and it’s been sufficiently fascinating, thanks to mismanaged evidence (including FBI wrongdoing) and an incompetent prosecutor, to merit a short review. These are some highlights. Andrew Branca’s superb posts at Legal Insurrection have more details.
On Tuesday, Assistant DA Thomas Binger committed a fundamental error: He misrepresented the evidence, almost all of which is captured on film. Thus, he asserted that Kyle shot “unarmed” victims. In fact, Grosskreutz was aiming a gun at Kyle when Kyle shot him; Huber was trying to beat Kyle to death, or decapitate him, with a skateboard; and Rosenbaum was trying to steal Kyle’s gun.

The prosecutor knows what happened, but is on the side of ANTIFA, BLM and CPUSA. Kyle is just on the wrong side of the communist revolution and must be an example to those refusing to cower in fear.
Indeed. It is a form of lawfare. Winning isn’t the point. Grinding down the opposition is.
can you imagine if there wasn’t like 10 videos proving Kyle is 100% innocent?
Well thank goodness for obvious ‘prosecutorial malfeasance‘
The judge ‘gets it’
No doubt the jury does!
I’ve been watching on Court TV and I agree; the prosecution is being made to look foolish.
It is almost as if someone on the prosecutor’s team WANTS to find Kyle innocent!??
The FBI destroying evidence...time to end it. Something new could be built, but there is no fixing the FBI, pull it up by the roots.
Prosecutor and police think Kyle isn’t guilty. They’ve been forced to bring charges and try the case by the politicians. So that’s what they’re doing.
FBI tried to hide (refused to turn over the HD footage) and none of the rioters, looters, and arsonist caught on camera (FBI drones) have been charged. Kid practicing self defense was.
Well, the prosecution have job to do. But it must be difficult with all of the videos out there. And the witnesses.
Who knows - all they need is one “the glove doesn’t fit” episode and Kyle is found guilty.
No, it's due to the fact that there is no case.
” (including FBI wrongdoing) “?
Seems like an everyday activity for the FBI.
They aren't required to prosecute an innocent man. This was their choice and thankfully they are looking like fools.
“Kyle is just on the wrong side of the communist revolution and must be an example to those refusing to cower in fear.“
Exactly. It’s about messing up his life because he dared try to help people when the democrats were destroying their livelihood. They did everything inherently disgusting in a prosecution, including withholding Brady material from the defense.
This is the most egregious thing a government employee can do, withhold or make up evidence against an innocent person. I have already stated, it should be brought up in every town hall meeting. It can be no more egregious when it’s an attorney, who knows the law, doing it. The penalty should be the prosecutor to serve the time the defendant would have served if convicted.
This nation will be a better place if this had happened to the Enron prosecutor, the duke lacrosse team prosecutor, those involved with Flynn, and especially Muellers team and Comey. We can not be a nation of political prosecution, and violating people’s rights to a fair trial.
“””The police also didn’t record their interview with Grosskreutz, another anomaly in a department that recorded everyone’s interviews.”””
I have watched most of the trial and this is a good summary.
With the exception of the above quote. Only when the police is interviewing suspects are those interviews recording.
A complaintent’s interview or a witness’ interview is not audio/video recorded
Prosecutorial abuse. People should be disbarred/go to prison for this.
Although I have read about numerous cases where some prosecutor wants to make a name for themselves in spite of the law and tries to make history. And sometimes the facts come out and it is still ruled self defense.
“When your enemy is in the process of defeating himself, stay out of the way” Attributed to Sun Tzu
In every jurisdiction I've ever lived in the prosecutor IS a politician, and they have ultimate authority over what cases to bring. This prosecutor is just another Mike Nifong. His motive isn't justice, but to satisfy his voters. And he's choosing to do this. He isn't being forced.
While watching the trial, I was trying to figure out what the point the DA was trying to make as he droned on for hours and hours. At the end it was obvious he had no point. I guess he has to drone on for hours because his only choice was rest his case after his opening statement as he has no evidence for his charges.
