One fuzzy drone image may send Kyle Rittenhouse to prison

The question the defense never asked and should have asked is “Can individual pixels also be manually edited?”

The first question should have been "who took this video and why aren't they here to testify about it". Without credible testimony there is no way to know that the video isn't just a deep fake made from other image data and CGI software. It probably started as some drone footage, but nobody really knows if it has been altered or not.

Without authentication it should never have been allowed for any purpose in the trial.

Modern computer graphics software allows modification of videos, or even the creation of realistic but entirely fake drone like videos.

Some of the legal arguments raised by the prosecution are inconsistent with how police use of firearms has traditionally been treated. If a police officer points a gun at someone no court I am aware of has considered that a provocation sufficient to allow someone to use deadly force against them.

In this case there is no factual evidence that Kyle pointed his gun at anyone other than the people who attacked him. The State never called Ziminsky or his wife, who could have testified to what happened at that moment but they chose not to. Probably because Ziminsky was the first person to start shooting.

I agree with you. People who believe that the riots were “mostly peaceful protests”, are not going to believe that Kyle is innocent.

Was only drone video provided that supported the prosecution or did the defense also have full access to all drone video recorded?

[Openurmind]

You are absolutely right. That is what the legal panel was also saying while watching it in real time. Where is your source?

No sane court of law would allow this worthless photo which shows nothing.

I have no probelm with FR-JR, Ransomnote, or any of the higher ups who run a pretty good show here.

Has anyone asked why Gaige Grosskreutz was illegally carrying a concealed handgun?

Eh, probably not.

They are adding lesser charges. I don’t trust the jury to sort through the added confusion of that. I worry that if he goes to prison, even for a short sentence, he won’t survive. There is also a firearms charge I keep hearing about that many are conceding he will probably get convicted for.

[Truth29]

bttt so we can update after the verdict.

Now they are debating the drown footage and there being more than one version. The judge appears to want to take testimony on what the prosecution has and what was sent to the defense.
