They're screenshots from drone footage but you have to watch the it in conjunction with cell phone footage from the ground and replay them a few times. Then you'd know who's who. This is about the provocation claim that Kyle aimed the gun at Ziminsky which provoked Rosenbaum. If you provoke an attack, you cannot claim self defense by WI statutes.

The two images are merely to demonstrate how much blurrier the video that the defense received is compared to the one the prosecution held back. Like I said, you'd have to watch 2-3 different videos to know who's who and pick out Kyle to see if he aimed his rifle at Ziminsky.

How do we know the higher res vid hasn’t been blurred a bit?

"If you provoke an attack, you cannot claim self defense by WI statutes."

My understanding, without regard to WI statutes, is that the right to self-defense can go back and forth during an altercation.

For example, let's say that Kyle DID point his rifle in a provocative way at somebody.
That might justify Rosenbaum attacking Rittenhouse.

However, as soon as Rittenhouse runs away from the altercation, then Rosenbaum is not longer justified in attacking.
The unjustified continuance of an attack by Rosenbaum then allows Rittenhouse to claim self-defense.

If, prior to the shooting, Rosenbaum had turned around and begun walking away from Rittenhouse,
then Rittenhouse would no longer be justified in an act of self-defense.
