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.
IF ya got two door keys or fobs, start car get out and lock doors they are probably looking for unlocked cars the soft targets
Covid red-pilled a lot of liberals. There's several dozen accounts I follow on Twitter who were people just like Sarah. Liberals who realized they were being lied to about Covid and then started wondering, "What else are they lying about?"
A lot of people on the left are having an identity crises.
He just impeached 100% of the Fake News dirtbags.
The reporter should have shot back: "That's what Trump says".
DA to prostitute: "When did you first think you were going to be raped?"
Hooker: "When he didn't pay me."
Is that, like, a coffee jerk at Starbucks?
“The prosecutor wants a mistrial, and the judge isn’t going to give it to him.”
I suspected that. The deliberate violating of key court orders regarding evidence looked to me like he was trying to get a mistrial declared.
“It would be dismissal with prejudice, wouldn’t it be? I’m not sure myself but I think a dismissal is the correct term for when the prosecution brings a case that has no merit.”
In civil trials they have a procedure called “Judgment Notwithstanding the Verdict,” which a judge can order to overrule a verdict.
I am pretty sure a judge cannot do that to a “not guilty” verdict in a criminal trial. But I think they can to a guilty verdict. It would be pretty unusual, though.
I think Kyle is screwed on that one. While the article rightly points out a technical "loophole", the spirit of the law appears to be to exclude minors who are legally hunting. If he is convicted only on that misdemeanor charge, he might have a successful appeal in a court where the law can be argued exactly as written, but this trial is probably not the place to do that. If he is acquitted of all the other charges, I'll take that as a win.
“Remember, this is Kenosha, not south Chicago”
But also remember, this is the same Kenosha that elected that mayor who sided with ANTIFA/BLM in the first place.
Obfuscation as the prosecutor did a miserable job and should not have even prosecuted the murder charges.
Hopefully the judge will be clear when charging the jury.
Agreed, and I suspect only a guilty verdict on the underage possession in his mind would be a very good outcome.
I hope that is true. I agree that a sole guilty verdict for the Possession charge would be a win.
That prosecutor is a nasty bit of rat-faced weasel, obviously trying to misrepresent reality - Kyle defended his self - better than most people ever could - amazing trigger control.
I watched a lot of it live that night and then saw many various Videos posted later. That jerk with the gun did raise his hands with the gun still being held — Kyle held his fire, and then when it seemed he wasn’t looking, the jerk, aimed the gun again, and that’s when Kyle shot his arm.
He’s lucky that Kyle didn’t put another round into his chest to totally neutralize the threat, but had he walked away instead of trying again, he’d have an undamaged arm.
And the defense is bordering on incompetence. That leaves it up to the jury.
The picture stuff was total crap. When I looked at the enlarged photos that they gave to the jury, I couldn’t even see a person - it was all just a bunch of gobbledygook next to a burned out car or something.
That too.
