Rittenhouse Jury Asks About Videos; Judge: ‘My Nightmare Has Come True’
Breitbart ^ | 11/17/2021 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 11/17/2021 10:29:58 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

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.

Where did the video come from?

Who was running the drone?

How did the drone op know to center in on KR and the attacking pedophile?

This is a jury looking for some way to convict an innocent man. Total sham of a trial and a Judge.

Drone footage just shows up. Literally from the sky. It definitely wasn’t from an alphabet agency either.

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?

When has there ever been such a confluence of misconduct, ineptitude and cowardice! The prosecution, the defense team, and the judge have all been a big disappointment.

How ironic that there has been criticism that Kyle was too young to be at the riot. So far, he has been shown to be the most stand-up, courageous and responsible person in this whole affair.

It is now de-facto that the jury is considering video evidence. I am of the opinion that the judge has no other viable option that to declare a miss-trial.

No one knows where it came from, which is a problem in and of itself. They called it the Unicorn video. It appeared out of magic.

Enough of this shilly-shallying and whining by the judge. Be a man and END IT ALREADY!!! The trial was not fair and he knows it.

I think there are 2 holdout jurors looking to convict. That’s the rumor, anyway.

The judge wants a verdict because a defense verdict cannot be appealed. It ends the case. Mistrials do not. So, he'd like to first see if the jury will simply acquit before having to address the video issue.

The jurors now asking for a copy of the video begs the question of which video to give them. So it might force his hand to declare a mistrial right now, which he'd rather not do.

“This idiot judge never should have given the jury the weekend off.”

Can a juror request to be sequestered, which might be called protective custody?

We have heard that there are threats to the judge and to his grown children. Maybe he is thinking about those threats just as some of the jurors might be thinking of threats to them and their own lives too.

Breitbart is reading into the Judge’s quip. He could mean many things, including that the jury might want to review much of the video evidence. Video could require video technicians with knowledge of the video. Do you allow the prosecutor’s video people to do this? What if the jury has questions about the video? Who answers? This would be a good time to throw out the “unicorn video”, or even better, declare a mistrial based on prosecutorial misconduct.

I believe the quality of the video is a big deal because it was used as a fairly important piece of evidence against KR. Someone correct me if I am wrong please.

Why a nightmare for the judge? Maybe I am missing something?

Because it is now time to dismiss this case with prejudice and he was hoping the jury would bail him out and he would not have to do the right thing.
