Binger said that Kyle was guilty because he plays “Call of Duty” where the goal there is to kill everybody with his AR.

The Prosecutor is completely incompetent... and this whole thing is a stupid show trial

I don't think he's incompetent, I think he's dishonest and crooked. He's everything that is wrong with lawyers. He cares nothing about the truth; nothing about the facts; and the ends justify the means.

In this case, from what I saw in closing arguments from the Kyle's counsel, the prosecution offered a last minute video, doctored to show something that never happened. The prosecutor should be brought up on criminal charges for that. (Had something to do with the drone footage showing something that would have indicated that the AR-15 was in Kyle's left hand, when in fact it is a right-handed rifle, whereby the spent cartridge would eject into the shooters face if used on the left side)

Ever hear of the phrase “don’t bring a knife to a gun fight”?

Well Binger would disagree. He’d say Never bring a gun to a knife fight.

No way in he** was the judge going to make a ruling in this case. If he had, he would have been held responsible for the ensuing riots, and would have been labeled a racist. The trial had to go thru the jury.

Face it, this country's justice system is flat broken and cannot be repaired. Too many prosecutors like these, The law is for leftists and liberals.

If gage had killed kyle, He would be free today and elevated to hero for stopping a threat. They would have had a statue made for him.

The MSM are nothing more or less than paid agitators. SMDH and continue to pray

“That charge, which should never have been filed, confirms the incompetence of the DA's involved.”

I strongly disagree with your statement concerning incompetence.

The DAs are corrupt. That is a more likely explanation. And far more dangerous to the public.

Gun charge was dismissed because the Prosecutor never presented any evidence as to the actual barrel length. Since there was no evidence, the charge was never sent to the Jury.

I’m pretty sure he’s the elected DA and his superiors are the voters.

No. Binger lost the election he tried for, but is a hired Assistant District Attorney in the office.

Gravelly is the DA. He handed the case to Binger to "persecute" (prosecute), probably to keep his hands "clean" while getting the result he wanted.

Binger has been reported to be the furthest Left ADA in the prosecutor's office.

I only watched a little of the testimony, but I recall clearly that, in open court and in real time, Kyle corrected the Prosectuion at least 3 times on his statements regarding gun law.

Yes. One of the things the Jury will have knowledge of, as they consider the case, is a 17-Year-Old had a better understanding of Wisconsin weapons law than the prosecutor who was questioning him.

I don’t think it’s incompetence so much, but rather a DA that’s so driven by his radical ideology who knew he had propaganda ministry (ie the media) backing and thought public opinion was on his side.

The rifle was in the Court. Judge Schroeder, tired of all the nonsense, gave the Prosecutors the opportunity to measure the rifle barrel.

The prosecutors immediately stipulated the rifle was of legal length.

That shows how corrupt the prosecution was. They knew the rifle was legal. They insisted on keeping the charge, even though they knew.

This has been coming for a long time. I think the term anarcho-tyranny was coined in the 1990s.

I stand corrected.

Then Gravelly needs to be voted out, if not prosecuted for allowing this travesty to go on over his supervision.
