(Wasn't he loaned the weapon in WI for his own self-protection?)
The thing that strikes me from my admittedly spotty review of the testimony is that we are in for a shock:
1.Kyles defense is incompetent as it is confident: they're playing their role straight ahead--apparently based on the assumption that they only need to rebut the prosecution's attempts to knock the foundation out from under the defense's self-defense claim.
2.THEY ARE LIKELY TO BE VERY WRONG!!
- Look again at that DA's performance-- casual, unflappable, imperturbable. He's playing to the audience.
- The DA is a curious study in a menacing type of personality found in government :
-- He's vain and fastidious, overly preoccupied with in appearance, almost the cliché' of the single gay male, but a general attribute of the 'red-line' narcissist.
--This preoccupation with external matters indicates that a deep chasm or a gaping wound lies at the heart.
--These people need to prove that they are "the smartest boy in the room." They must win. It doesn't help that Binger is sly and does have actual talent.
--They are ruthless in their ambition and bound for higher glory--in the hopes of filling in that void. Anyone is fair game, a stepping stone and nothing more in their quest.
--Upshot: Binger has a plan and is working an angle. He is a snake.
The defense is underestimating him!
What is Binger fishing for? Testimony for a subsequent indictment?
Watch out for something based on 'he had no business being there in the first place.'
I think he was trying to work that angle having the two Indian brothers on.
They were pretty cagey. Not because of possibly hiring the dudes for protection.....but maybe some business malpractice/money laundering/tax evasion.
Dude “owns 10 cars”....but doesn’t have an income or on family payroll? Come on.
