Judge Bruce Schroeder of the Kenosha County Court accused prosecutors of a “grave constitutional violation” in the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse on Wednesday morning after they tried to comment on his earlier reactions to testimony in the case.
Rittenhouse stunned observers by taking the witness stand in his own defense, something that defendants rarely do in such trials. He recalled the events of Aug. 25 last year, when he fired on members of a mob attacking him during a Black Lives Matter riot. As he began to describe the events leading to the shootings, he broke down, and the trial took a brief recess.

Me too. The Judge is pissed and rightly so.

I think the prosecutors case are gonna have a “My Cousin Vinny” ending...
Lock the prosecutors ass up, they are dangerous agenda driven people.
Never underestimate the stupidity of a jury.
Marisa Tomei.... Yummy
Dirty lawyers are going to dirty by nature.
There’s at least four witnesses who were fairly close to sharp criticism of the prosecution team (especially that one guy from yesterday). I was pretty surprised...he wasn’t going to let them change his view of things.
Bkmk
Prosecutors are not really supposed to be in the business of “Let’s get this guy!”
Give them the Mike Nifong treatment.
Trying to watch, but the prosecutor’s act is just one reason I hate !awyers. Scumbags like him in positions of importance in government are what’s wrong with this nation on many levels.
ADA Binger is such a putz!
...and yet they are.
I haven’t been watching and so turned on the live feed and saw this part. Did not know what was going on but immediately could tell that judge was furious and in no mood for shenanigans.
“Prosecutors are not really supposed to be in the business of “Let’s get this guy!””
Once the DA’s office says to prosecute there job is to ‘get the guy’.
Later, Binger again asked Rittenhouse to comment on his previous comments, which had been excluded in a prior ruling, and the judge again told the jury to leave.
The defense demanded that the judge admonish the prosecution, and said that if it happened again, the defense would ask the judge to declare a mistrial with prejudice, preventing the charges from being brought again.
Judge Schroeder exploded at Binger, raising his voice, saying that Binger had entered into areas of testimony that had been ruled out, without warning.
Binger apologized, but kept insisting on responding to the judge. “Don’t get brazen with me!” the judge shouted.

Prosecutor apparently never read the book “How to Win Friends and Influence People”.
If the prosecution realizes that an innocent man is on trial, they have an obligation to stop.
“Getting the guy” isn’t the whole goal. Getting the guilty guy is the goal, and the guy on trial might not really be a guilty guy. Prosecutors are supposed to be able to make this distinction.
