Bump for later
Prosecution will have three hours to convince the jury that the fuzzy, unclear photo “really” does show Kyle pointing his rifle
the defense made a huge error in their own exhibit that the state is going to use..
the left in a 3rd party annotation of a blurred pic of Kyle saying “this could be Kyle putting his gun, but very hard to tell” (this is at a different time then the blurred drone one)
The lawyer for the plaintiff or government usually goes first. The lawyer sums up and comments on the evidence in the most favorable light for his or her side, showing how it proved what he or she had to prove to prevail in the case.
After that side has made its case, the defense then presents its closing arguments. The defense lawyer usually answers statements made in the plaintiff’s or government’s argument, points out defects in their case and sums up the facts favorable to his/her client.
Because the plaintiff or government has the burden of proof, the lawyer for that side is then entitled to make a concluding argument, sometimes called a rebuttal . This is a chance to respond to the defendant’s points and make one final appeal to the jury.

I absolutely agree... Rekeita Law is THE place to watch for sure.
I’m interested in hearing the judge respond to threats against his life and his family over the weekend.
I haven’t heard. it was my understanding that the prosecution was gonna ask the judge to let the jury consider lesser charges against Rittenhouse. That strokes me that the prosecution thinks their case is going nowhere as to the heavier charges.
Could this succeed? I’d hate the see a jury consider lesser changes and then find Rittenhouse guilty in an effort the “split the difference” and think they’re gonna placate the mobs.
Judge says that when you start repeating yourself in front of the jury you lose them REEAAALLL fast.
Closing arguments can be pure fiction and speculation. No rules of evidence. Prosecution can assert guilt, and nearly always does.
It is not allowed to go outside of evidence admitted, meaning it can’t assert facts that aren’t in evidence. It can misinterpret the evidence, just can’t make up new things.
ROFL. Should win an award.
Defense already agreed to letting the jury choose second degree versions of the charges. Kyle could have over ruled his lawyers on that but didn’t.
I agree it gives the jury an out. They’ll justify it by saying among themselves that Kyle’s young and will still have plenty of time to live a life after his ten year sentence etc.
Jury instructions given before closing statements. Poor souls will be in a trance before the lawyers get started.
He'll repeat stuff over and over because he doesn't have any material. That will bore and offend the jurors.
Please pray for Kyle!
Rittenhouse should NOT go to prison at all.
2.5 hours of ADA Binger droning on will either run into lunchtime or provide background noise for the jury's afternoon siesta.
