This is a kangaroo political trial which should not have made it past a preliminary hearing.

Thank goodness the judge seems to be following the law.

Rittenhouse obviously was in fear of his life and fired in self defense in all three cases.

I wathce the Richard McGinnis testimony. The guy was amazing. In fact, I had not seen pictures of the players in this courtroom drama and honestly thought the bearded guy asking him questions must be the defense attorney. It took me a while to convince myself that, questioning and answers notwithstanding, he actually IS the prosecution. It became clear as time passed with the direction his questions were “trying” to go but failing miserably.

There is a rule in courtroom law - never ask a question to which you don’t already know the answer. He seemed to violate it with almost every question. Or - he’s doing it on purpose. I have a theory about the prosecution here:

Their job in this particular case is not to win. It is to make it clear to a large enough part of the BLM/ANTIFA/leftist part of the population that, when the case against Kyle loses handily (which is inevitable), this one does not rise to the level of their “righteous indignation” - and subsequent rioting. i.e. it takes the wind out of their sails.

Sometimes when you win, you lose*. And sometimes when you lose, you win.

*A classic example of this would be Pearl Harbor.

The train wreck was Wednesday. Here's Branca's thoughts on yesterday. (train wreck part 2)

https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/11/rittenhouse-trial-day-3-states-own-witnesses-damage-prosecution-reinforce-self-defense-narrative/

The prosecution is doing a fine job for the defense.

Humorously, during the recess the cameras were deflected off to the side, as is the usual practice when the court is in recess.

The judge’s microphone, however, was left live. As a result, we got to overhear Judge Schroeder make casual conversation with his clerk.

Part of that conversation went along the lines of, “Man, this seems to be taking forever. How long has he been on the stand? How long? How about, two weeks?”

This is the zimmerman trial all over. The prosecution in that one was just as bad. The actual problem in both is they have no case.

Maybe he can prosecute the 1/6 fiasco next. Talk about coaching the witness to lie.

Prosecutor: “So your interpretation of his intent is just a guess right?”

Richie: “He yelled f***k you and reached for the gun”

Richie McGinnis was the prosecutors eyewitness who totally destroyed the prosecution’s case with that one-liner.

Binger: So Rittenhouse shot Rosenbaum, in the back, as he was falling, correct?
McGinnis: No, Rittenhouse didn’t fire until Rosenbaum charged and lunged at him.
Binger: So he shot him as he was falling?
McGinnis: No, not falling, lunging.
Binger: So you’re saying he shot him while he was falling?
McGinnis: No, that’s not my testimony. Lunging.


Right, this is called "leading the witness". Too many judges permit prosecutors to do this routinely. It's usually OK on cross examination if the witness is hostile. Declaring your own witness to be hostile is quite unusual, and a jury should note that.

Isn’t that called “Badgering the Witness?”

All democrats, including DA lawyers, are the enemy. Treat them as such.

Don’t celebrate yet. Juries can be fickle and juries can completely ignore the evidence as they did in the OJ case and the George Floyd “murder” case.
