Dismiss all charges with prejudice.
Sanction the prosecution.
Notify the Bar Association of the conduct and have them disbarred.

I’ve seen comments to the effect that the commenters can’t see a difference between the two versions. The difference is STARK! I suspect those commenters are leftists trying to minimize this prosecutorial misconduct.
I didn’t click, but I will speak more to the technical reasons why this is important. When viewed at smaller resolutions, or on smaller screens, the difference wont be as apparent. But when viewed up close on a larger screen, the difference is going to be obvious.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, with high resolution video, you can crop and blow up a smaller area of the video with much much better visibility with a high resolution video. Low res wont tolerate this, and will appear very blocky, grainy, or blurry if pixel averaging is done.
There are many reasons why this case should never have gone to jury deliberations.
But this ... https://freerepublic.com/tag/jumpkickman/index
This is outrageous. The DA’s office withheld information from the defense. It just came to light AFTER closing arguments by both sides.
So why is the jury deliberating?
The judge should have dismissed with prejudice two days ago.
When the hell are we going to lock up these highly paid govt workers for their illegal actions.
Kyle Rittenhouse: Claim: prosecutors hid HD video of confrontation
What I would like people to look at in the HD video is when Rittenhouse is running from Rosenbaum and Rosenbaum throws the white plastic bag.
The prosecution made a big deal there was nothing in the bag other than medical papers. However, you can see when Rosenbaum throws the bag the bag travels at a high rate of speed meaning there was something heavy in that bag. Also, when it hits Rittenhouse it hits him hard enough he reacts.
You can even see it in the low definition video. I don't know why the defense didn't mention it or see it.
Maybe this is why it took the investigator 20 hours to work on the video? He had to make sure that it was blurry enough to fit the ADA’s case. I wonder how much cash was handed to him under the table.
Withholding exculpatory evidence? Now where have I seen that before?
Kyle has been Nifonged.
Ya don’t say...
The defense also just stated in court that the specific program used for this video stipulates that it can be used only for investigative purposes and not as evidence in a court of law. (Paraphrased
The story is that the man made a request to the prosecution to exchange his testimony for immunity in another case. (He's currently in the Kenosha County Jail). Depending on the timing of all this, the Prosecutors might have shielded an exculpatory witness from the defense, and misled the court as to knowing his identity. They claimed in court they did not know who he was.
Mistrial with prejudice. The judge should rule and not wait for the jury to bail him out.
I worked with video coding/decoding — compression/decompression “CODECs” for forty years. My nose was in the ITU-T standards every day.
These courtroom people have no idea what these codecs do, let alone what the new AI can do. Nothing you see or hear on a digital device is real. It is a hyper compressed facsimile designed to fool your perception into accepting it as real.
In court, the side with the best “photoshopper” wins.
I am an expert, and I get fooled all the time now.

Time to protest government overreach.
I assume that both videos were provided by the prosecution. WHY are there two versions, one low res and one with better resolution? Was the low res version doctored to lower the resolution, or was the high resolution video made by “ enhancing” the low res one? Either way this looks like evidence tampering.
