Kyle Rittenhouse repeatedly yawns in court during homicide trial

Kyle Rittenhouse struggled to stay focused and yawned throughout his homicide trial Tuesday in Wisconsin that will decide whether he spends his life behind bars for a triple shooting.

Rittenhouse, 18, let out several yawns as lawyers from both sides prepared to give opening statements in a Kenosha court about him fatally shooting two men and wounding a third during last year’s protests over police brutality.

He yawned often during the proceedings, including when he stood for jurors to enter the courtroom and when his own lawyer began his opening remarks.

The day earlier during jury selection, the teen also couldn’t help himself from yawning.

Might not be a good look for the jury.

Yawning at a murder trial doesn’t look good to the jury. Kyle probably didn’t sleep much at all last night. His lawyer should have given him intravenous coffee.

Yawning at your trial means you're a cold-blooded killer.

NOT.

Most likely some shrinks got on his lines and are medicating him.

D00d reminds me of the George Zimmerman moron.

He’s got a good case but is his own worst enemy. Idiots make it hard for people to support them.

Yawning is also a sign of stress

Anxiety affects the heart, respiratory system, and energy levels. These can all cause breathlessness, yawning, and feelings of stress. If a person experiences a lot of anxiety, they may find themselves yawning more often than other people, or more often than when they are not feeling as anxious.Feb 8, 2019

I thought that too. Horrible optics. A lot of jury members want to like the person on trial especially if they think he’s not guilty. He’s not helping. I’m sure some will excuse it.

Not a good look for the jury. But I imagine on trial for double murder you don’t sleep much. And maybe he’s taking anxiety meds if that is allowed. I know I would want them.

He and his lawyer have to know the stakes, and in this case since pretty much all the evidence is out in the open, he should absolute act alert no matter how he feels.

He overall hasn’t been his own best friend since happened.

“Might not be a good look for the jury.”

Really needs some coaching from his lawyers, bad optics. Still, how would any of us do is someone carefully observed us for hours on end.
