EXCLUSIVE: Prosecution's star witness in Kyle Rittenhouse case is a career criminal with a history of domestic abuse, prowling, trespass and burglary - but had charges DROPPED just six days before trial began and jury never learned of his past
Daily Mail ^ | 15 November 2021 | LAURA COLLINS, CHIEF INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER IN KENOSHA, WISCONSIN

Posted on 11/16/2021 12:30:03 AM PST by conservative98

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.

[cut]

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.

This guy shows that the prosecutors were full of shit since Grosskraut should not have been to carry a gun due to his criminal record and drunkenness.

Grosskreutz had a chunk of his bicep shot off by Rittenhouse. Perhaps it weakened Grosskreutz enough to put an end to his criminal career?

Saint GG doesn't need his right arm to drive while intoxicated or to commit perjury on the witness stand. Your friend was adamant he had a concealed weapon permit. He has great difficulty expressing the truth that the CCW was not valid on the night he drew his weapon on Rittenhouse.

Im afraid for Kenosha, juries are usually made up of people too stupid to get out of jury duty. They let O.J. walk.

Most are outraged by the prosecution’s behavior in this trial.

The lies, the use of criminal testimony and the twisting of law are all on display.

Democrat Attorney Generals have done this for 100 years against black citizens just to get a conviction.

Now, some of you can understand why so many black citizens reject our justice system.

After watching the FBI behavior, some of you can understand why so many black citizens reject the honesty of law enforcement.

The only thing that has changed is the focus is now on getting conservatives instead of black men.

All of it comes from abusive government run by Democrats.

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?

The college students protest for the cameras to make it appear "peaceful" while the criminals burn, loot and assault under the cover of that "peaceful protest".

It is intentional to instill fear and destabilize the nation.

The Kenosha “prosecutors” are part of the violent mob.

Yes. The riots were part of the Color Revolution that began when Bill and Hillary wore purple to announce she’d accepted defeat. But they instead launched RussiaGate. The riots were part of destabilizing America just as we’d done to other nations around the world. Create a crisis where there was none. Loot and riot. Have the weak minded normies and middle of the road folks go along with making things “normal” again.

The police stood down. The high res drone footage the FBI had likely of every riot in the country was never used to convict anyone. It was only revealed in Kyle’s case two weeks ago when the low res version was handed over likely because “provocation” was the only lie they could push.

The defense team should have known this prior to trial. The past convictions should have been used to impeach him.

OJ trial was not in Kenosha.

And the OJ prosecution was just as corrupt.

The lead prosecutor denied her ex time with the kids - preferring to keep them with a nanny…

And demanded MORe child support to cover her dresses for RV appearances !!!

The corrupt prosecutors deserved to lose that case.
