The jury in the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse asked Judge Bruce Schroeder in the Kenosha County Court on Wednesday morning whether it should view video evidence in court or in private, prompting the judge to quip: “My nightmare has come true.”
The judge was referring to controversies over the video evidence presented by the prosecution during the trial, including whether zoomed-in images enhanced by artificial intelligence were admissible, and whether the prosecution withheld a higher resolution version of a video than the version that had been provided to the defense until the last day of the trial.

yes, handbrake (on the DA computer) can be used to compress video, such as has been done with the fuzzy drone video which was compressed 4 to 1.
They need to tell the prosecution to preserve all evidence as a civil suit against them is coming.
On many occasions, they have allowed the prosecutors to enter questionable evidence; sat silent when the prosecutors misstated the law; and seemed to have a lack of understanding of their own narrative of defense.
For example, the prosecutor stated many times that Rosenbaum was unarmed. Not once did the defense make it clear that if Rosenbaum had gotten the gun away from Rittenhouse, it would have been Kyle who was then unarmed. That is the core of self-defense. Yes, they said Rosenbaum was reaching for the gun, but it should be stated, out loud, why that is so dangerous. They had a self-defense expert on the witness list, but they allowed the state to effectively stifle his testimony. The guy was basically worthless.
> They need to tell the prosecution to preserve all evidence as a civil suit against them is coming.
good tactic... but would they actually have the nerve to do it, that seems to be in some doubt at the moment
exactly. mob rule backed up by a corrupt state
he may have to declare a mistrial, without prejudice I think...
Yes. I concluded this also because it shouldn't have taken more than 2-4 hours.
Is the jury not able to view the videos in the jury room?
Riots? Are you guys KRAZY. They can’t riot over white guy shooting white guys!!
That would be totally racist. And no, I am not tagging this as sarcasm.
Is it possible that the state prosecution really didn’t want to prosecute Kyle?
Is it possible the state, judge, jury are all terrified of the mob going crazy?
Was this all indeed a ‘show trial’ to appease the mob and it backfired?==============================
Yes and probable.
Yes and probable.
Probably.
two points recently made on rekieta law
1. the juror who spoke back to the judge just before the private viewing of the fuzzy drone footage is presumed by some or many to be the fore-person of the jury since no one else would presumably have the temerity to talk back to the judge, and the fact that she is a woman combined with an undercurrent of so called upper class local yankee sentiment against KR does not bode well for a pro KR verdict
2. (the quartering) defense now has two bites of the apple with the reviewing of the fuzzy drone footage, so do not lose hope for KR
(this point was made a few minutes earlier) also, the final written jury instructions are allegedly wrong since they refer to considering 6 counts, but 2 of 7 counts have been dismissed
so was the prosecution then deliberately torpedoing its own case, in this view? (not sure i am getting it...)
Pretty sure it was a private company who has since close down the business.
“Even the ‘high res’ version is unclear to me.”
The point of the inset is to show that Kyle IS NOT in a posture of pointing his rifle at the other individual in the frame. While Kyle’s EXACT posture isn’t crystal clear, it is at least clear that he does not have his rifle shouldered.
He actually appears to be facing toward the lower left of the frame, which — given most of the other footage of him just walking around — would mean he has his rifle diagonally downward across the front of his body. Basis what can be discerned of the blob that is Kyle in that frame, the shape of it is greatly supportive of that analysis, whereas not at all supportive of the Prosecutor’s assertion.
Why not?
Now if you were a red unicorn...
Yes, generally true. However, evidence may be precluded from admission as a sanction, for example, when a party has a duty to disclose it and does not. Additionally, evidence may be precluded where the probative value is outweighed by the risk of undue prejudice. Let's say hypothetically there is document that proves Grosskreutz is a member of the Nazi party. The probity of this is it may tend to show his tendency to incite insurrection, as he was doing on the evening in question. It has only minimal relevance on the issue of self defense, while it will allow the defense to highlight the attacker was a racist and not a crusader. A judge could easily decide that the Nazi party evidence is not admissible, not because it is irrelevant, but because it is unduly prejudicial with minimal probative value.
I firmly believe the Biden Junta will swoop in if the outcome is not to their liking, and charge him with something. ouble jeopardy should preclude it, but they’ll call it a “civil rights” charge or something, to get their pound of flesh.
Good thing the law is on Kyle's side.

Yup.
When the revolution is complete, it becomes time to eliminate all the rioters.
The new regime will NEVER make all their dreams come true, and they have the experience, the attitude, the desire, and the motivation to overthrow another regime...
Yup. There is supposedly a video somewhere out there of Kyle mentioning what he would like to do to shoplifters with his gun... not allowed into evidence. Binger tried to get to it by asking Kyle a question that would bring such a thought up. (I don’t remember the exact words.) Objected to and sustained.
“I’m not sure it’s fear that’s motivating him. It’s the desire that the justice system actually work the way it’s supposed to.”
We are way past that, and he knows it. The persecutor has practically dared him to do something about their abuse of the system. by not allowing a change of venue or sequestering the jury, he has allowed the jury to be intimidated.
