BTW these are the charges.

After the prosecution flubbed their case, Kyle went on the stand for the big gamble, to demurr all the criminal charges, perhaps for but the Possession charge, which is a Class A misdemeanor and may or may not stick (penalty limits are 9 months/$10K fine). The reason it may not stick is they never charged anyone for providing Rittenhouse the weapon, which is part and parcel of the same Possession law!

What the prosecutor is desperately tring to do, is salvage some of these lesser felonies, because he knows his Homcide cases are dead (lol, literally). The Judge knows this too, btw, that is why he is making the prosecutor walk the fine line as the prosecutor tried to wander off into Rittenhouse joking on an earlier day about making threats against shoplifters (having done so while unarmed). The Judge disarmed the prosecutor because having permitted such absurd allegorical accusations would have been grounds to overturn the case!

• FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESS HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON
• FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON
• FIRST-DEGREE INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON
• ATTEMPTED FIRST-DEGREE INTENTIONAL HOMICIDE, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON
• FIRST-DEGREE RECKLESSLY ENDANGERING SAFETY, USE OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON
• POSSESSION OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON BY A PERSON UNDER 18
• FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH AN EMERGENCY ORDER FROM STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT

Could see this Judge issuing a Directed Verdict for acquittal on all the actus reus, and merely sending the Possession charge to the jury.

The Emergency Order is a non-starter, and its inclusion goes to the lack of seriousness with which this prosecutor engaged the case, ie, was anyone else present charged with the same nuisance violation?
