The prosecution's star witness in the Kyle Rittenhouse case had a criminal charge dismissed just six days before the trial's start, meaning the jury had no insight into his extensive criminal record nor his history of lying to police, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger was well aware of this when he paraded Gaige Grosskreutz, 28, the third man shot on the night of August 25, 2020, as a paragon of selfless virtue. He was a paramedic, the court heard, just there that evening to provide medical aid, as he claimed to have done at countless other protests across the country.
In fact, DailyMail.com has learned, he is a violent career criminal with a laundry list of prior offenses and convictions stretching back more than a decade.
These include domestic abuse, prowling, trespass, two DUIs, felony burglary and two charges of carrying a firearm while intoxicated - one of which took place when he was banned as a felon from carrying a firearm.
He also has a history of showing disdain for the law by lying to, and failing to co-operate with, police.
But the Rittenhouse jury heard none of this.
Because just six days before he took the stand, Grosskreutz was before a judge himself at a hearing at which a pending DUI charge – a second offense that saw him three times over the legal limit – was dismissed on a technicality.

Had Grosskreutz's latest DUI charge not been dismissed in such a timely manner Rittenhouse's defense would have been allowed to question him under oath about the fact that he was on bond and the nature of his offense.
The information would have severely damaged Grosskreutz's credibility and eroded the wholesome image of a law-abiding citizen offered up by the prosecution.

Mark Levin said this should be breaking news.
There is perfectly clear video evidence of this felon again in illegal possession of a firearm why is he not facing federal level charges for that weapon possession and also additional charges for the bullets in it also an additional felon charge. Both of those facts indisputable facts should have been admissible.
Grosskreutz had a chunk of his bicep shot off by Rittenhouse. Perhaps it weakened Grosskreutz enough to put an end to his criminal career?
BTTT
This has been known since day 1.
It begs the question....on this particular evening in Kenosha, of the 100-odd protest folks....just how many had police records? 10-percent? 40-percent? 100-percent?
What’s that really say about these demonstrations? Mostly drawing criminals to protest? Is that the new trend...fewer college student protest folks, and mostly criminals?
At least he won’t be committing any strong arm robberies.
But the jury does not know this information... at least they shouldn’t because it was not revealed to them.
No. Now he's a....one armed bandit.
*ba dum tish*
Here all week.
So, how does he finance this selfless sacrifice, traveling from riot to riot?
Antifa gonna Antifa.
I wonder.
Noticed press toadies don't wade in and interview individule 'protesters'? They do that because they've been told to only interview the 'spokespeople'. And the bought thugs? They're told not to talk to the press. Too bad the FBI is corrupt and the butt boys of white liberal 'elites' or they could look into this.
Thugs, excons, street people etc organized to look like political protesters.
You can bet that “jump kick man” has a long record from Chicago
odds are, that’s where he came from to riot
And he’ll be “Toobin” with his non dominant hand for the rest of his life
The ACLU.
Like they were doing for the 75 days prior to Lefty getting “ disarmed “
Testified in court that he had a loaded pistol pointed at Kyle at the moment he was shot. Then lied about it to the press afterwards. This trial is an MSM/Democrat lynch mob and they’re gonna riot to beat the band when he gets acquitted.
He also has a history of showing disdain for the law by lying to, and failing to co-operate with, police. But the Rittenhouse jury heard none of this.
Because just six days before he took the stand, Grosskreutz was before a judge himself at a hearing at which a pending DUI charge – a second offense that saw him three times over the legal limit – was dismissed on a technicality.
Someone should sue George Soros and his white liberal 'elite' thugs for the damage done to Kenosha
