Yes.
I believe the argument is he had this bullet that could not only defend himself but travel through and harm someone else.
But Kyle exhibited superb trigger control. Despite a guy with a metal pipe and a guy with a gun who had just fired it (!), Kyle only shot the people who were an immediate threat to him. He’d be a great police officer.
I liked Kyle’s response. “It’s just a video game, it’s not real life.” Made Binger look like a jackass for suggesting it.
It’s shameful that a young adult needs to be put through all this simply because he exercised the right to keep himself from grievous harm or death. Meaning, the slanted attitude of prosecution and media lies smearing his name by declaring guilt before the facts. This country smh. Unscrupulous.
It is eye-opening to see what a clubby, cliquey fraternity a courthouse is, that's for sure.
No, the curfew charge was dropped. I don’t believe the gun charge was dropped yet.
I wished someone would’ve asked the detective: “You had all this video evidence of looting, arson, destruction of property. How many charges have you brought against all these rioters?”
Yes, a horrible argument.
This is a warning to ANY American who would dare try to stop rioting and looting from taking place.
“It’s only property.” Likely not covered by insurance, btw, because it was ‘civil unrest.’
That’s the entire point. Okay for Democrats to ‘occupy’ and storm offices in D.C. Republicans do it? White guy does it? Prison!
The judicial system is corrupt - along with every other major institution in our country.
I agree
where are yall watching this live?
If so, it's a losing argument.
That was what I thought. (Baldwin likely had a soft-point lead bullet rather than a hollow-point, but it's thae same idea.)
And the judge blew that theory up in the ADA's face.
It's a salient point, but the last-minute hire of Chirafisi looks like a water carrier, all Chirafisi has done is put his head in his hands during the prosecutorial meltdown.
OTOH, Mark Richards is a badass. He has never taken his eye off either the Judge or BadumbbadaBinger. Slings one arm over the chair and leans back and just takes it all in.
When the Judge gave Richards an opening after Binger's failed effort to provoke a mistrial, Binger reached for this giant ugly white thermos and started gulping whatever was in it (bloody mary?) like a madman. I mean he had it tilted to the ceiling! I literally LOL'd.
Possession charge: under 18.
YouTube “live trial” and you will see half a dozen links.
Some are watching it live with commentary. A few places on YouTube have that.
A defendants refusal to testify is a RIGHT…
The impetus of the state is to PROVE its case, it is not on the defendant to prove his innocence.
If you need to hear from the defendant to make your verdict then the state didn’t prove its case, period.
My reply to the video game charge would have been,”At least I am not watching porn like you.”
True but jurors - wrong or not - will often say, “He’s on trial and he didn’t take the stand? He must have been guilty!” Sad but it happens.
Self defense, as someone pointed out, involves state of mind. Kyle’s handling things well so far. He’s been humanized. He is that clean-cut kid the women on the jury would be proud to be their son. And he was out there alone with people attacking him after they said to his face they’d kill him.
The link in post 103, hat tip to Theo.
Doesn’t it ever occur to a prosecutor that the defendant might, in fact, be innocent?
