Today we have to wonder what will be the more likely cause of the next riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Will it be an acquittal of the defendant either by the jury or a directed verdict of Not Guilty? And if the latter happens will they riot because the judge is apparently a Lee Greenwood, even to the extent of have "God Bless the USA" as a ringtone on his phone.
The judge suggests that the trial should be ready to wrap up by Tuesday.
Progressives Demand ‘Mistrial’ Over Rittenhouse Judge’s ‘God Bless The U.S.A.’ Ringtone
I expect soon that legislation will be introduced that no one may act in the capacity of a judge in a BLM/ANTIFA-related case unless they can prove that they share their vision of a defunct America. Never again will we see judges with pro-American values.
From what I heard the prosecutor say, the person Kyle supposedly is pointing the gun at, is not even in the enlarged picture. So I don’t know how it proves anything especially since the appearances could be deceiving depending on angle of perspective.
Yep, that was stupid campaign.
We have a problem here in Winter. On cold days some people like to start their car to warm it up and then dash back into the warm house. The cars are called "puffers." We don't have Linus's walking down the street only see a puffer and turn into a "bad kid." The problem is bad kids ("teens" anyone?) cruise residential neighborhoods looking for puffers to steal. So, the takeaway is if you want a warm car stay in it and catch up on texts or emails while it warms up. Otherwise you are vulnerable to the thieves who cruise the neighborhoods.
The thing is, as a matter of law, even if Kyle is reckless a minute or two earlier, that does not have any bearing on the heat of the moment. Each of the three shooting incidents is in a small time frame, and each stands on it’s own.
When he pulled the trigger, did he reasonably believe he was at risk of serious injury? The only thing that can defeat that is Kyle starting that particular encounter, and there is no evidence of that. Prosecution trying to argue it is reasonable to chase him down and hit him with skateboard, or to pull a handgun.
Video was first available on sunday this week - five days ago. Talk about sandbagging the defense.
Or move to New Hampshire and solve the problem.
Yeah, I heard that, too. Those feckers.
Mr Video expert testifies he didn’t compare his enlargement to original.
Oh man.....
And he spent 20 hours doctoring it
Seriously, how can you dislike a judge that has Mickey Mouse in his pencil cup?
He should have used the Covington kid’s lawyer.
I can only imagine how drained the people in that court room must feel, especially the jury . . . I’m only watching and taking notes and I feel like I could sleep for a week!
Could have given a better answer. There is no practical reason to make the comparison, although if he wanted to be fully transparent, would be good to show the original raw unmodified frames used to produce the final.
The whole point of making the modes is to "clarify" (not necessarily faithfully, just clear to the eye) a complex set of images.
I've never heard of frame averaging being used on a moving picture, usually done on a still to make it super sharp.
I missed the concluding remarks, but heard the judge tell the jury to have a nice weekend.
Jury is recessed until Monday. The lawyers come in tomorrow at 10:00 CST.
I suppose that that will be carried. Assuming it will I’ll go ahead and begin a thread about 9:45 when we start seeing some indication that it is going to be carried - though I don’t think the thread will be very active.
They showed the two stills of the picture in question and it was so blurry I couldn’t see any detail at all - so I question its value. Perhaps the state wants to just plant a seed of doubt into the jurors minds, but overall it seems silly.
The judge said all evidence has been introduced and told the jury they can go home for the weekend.
What happened to the two rebuttal witnesses that the DA said would be used to rebut Kyle’s assertion (1) that he received a bullet proof vest from the police and (2) that he was enrolled at an Arizona college.
Good question. Either prosecutor had a change of heart or there was a ruling from the judge that the testimony would not be allowed.
Freindly, Freindly, Freinly was missplaced. Need to call a Mistrial It ought to be Friendly, Friendly
Well, the jury instructions and closing arguments will at least be interesting!
That's how I felt last night! I've sat through a lot of trials, but none were as exhausting as the one on my TV!
