UPDATE 11/15/2021 11:30 EST:
After an hour of discussion of jury instructions on the morning of November 15, 2021, Judge Bruce Schroeder responded to a motion to Dismiss the weapons possession charge, charge number six, by the defense.
Judge Schroeder allowed the prosecutors an opportunity to measure the rifle which had been possessed by Kyle Rittenhouse. Given the opportunity, they did not measure it but agreed the rifle was of legal length and was not a short-barreled rifle under the law.
Judge Schroeder then dismissed the weapons charge, as the possession of an ordinary rifle by the defendant (Kyle Rittenhouse) was not prohibited by Wisconsin law.
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)-
Early in the course of the prosecution of Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the prosecution decided to charge Rittenhouse with possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under the age of 18, Wisconsin statute 948.60.
Several commentators immediately noted the prosecution was misapplying the law. By the letter of the law, Rittenhouse fell under the exception in 948.60 3(c). From the statute:
(c) This section applies only to a person under 18 years of age who possesses or is armed with a rifle or a shotgun if the person is in violation of s. 941.28 or is not in compliance with ss. 29.304and 29.593. This section applies only to an adult who transfers a firearm to a person under 18 years of age if the person under 18 years of age is not in compliance with ss. 29.304 and 29.593 or to an adult who is in violation of s. 941.28.
Statute 941.28 applies to short-barreled rifles and shotguns.

Binger said that Kyle was guilty because he plays “Call of Duty” where the goal there is to kill everybody with his AR.
I don't think he's incompetent, I think he's dishonest and crooked. He's everything that is wrong with lawyers. He cares nothing about the truth; nothing about the facts; and the ends justify the means.
In this case, from what I saw in closing arguments from the Kyle's counsel, the prosecution offered a last minute video, doctored to show something that never happened. The prosecutor should be brought up on criminal charges for that. (Had something to do with the drone footage showing something that would have indicated that the AR-15 was in Kyle's left hand, when in fact it is a right-handed rifle, whereby the spent cartridge would eject into the shooters face if used on the left side)
Ever hear of the phrase “don’t bring a knife to a gun fight”?
Well Binger would disagree. He’d say Never bring a gun to a knife fight.
Face it, this country's justice system is flat broken and cannot be repaired. Too many prosecutors like these, The law is for leftists and liberals.
If gage had killed kyle, He would be free today and elevated to hero for stopping a threat. They would have had a statue made for him.
The MSM are nothing more or less than paid agitators. SMDH and continue to pray
I strongly disagree with your statement concerning incompetence.
The DAs are corrupt. That is a more likely explanation. And far more dangerous to the public.
Gun charge was dismissed because the Prosecutor never presented any evidence as to the actual barrel length. Since there was no evidence, the charge was never sent to the Jury.
No. Binger lost the election he tried for, but is a hired Assistant District Attorney in the office.
Gravelly is the DA. He handed the case to Binger to "persecute" (prosecute), probably to keep his hands "clean" while getting the result he wanted.
Binger has been reported to be the furthest Left ADA in the prosecutor's office.
Yes. One of the things the Jury will have knowledge of, as they consider the case, is a 17-Year-Old had a better understanding of Wisconsin weapons law than the prosecutor who was questioning him.
I don’t think it’s incompetence so much, but rather a DA that’s so driven by his radical ideology who knew he had propaganda ministry (ie the media) backing and thought public opinion was on his side.
For sure the prosecutor has been paid
The rifle was in the Court. Judge Schroeder, tired of all the nonsense, gave the Prosecutors the opportunity to measure the rifle barrel.
The prosecutors immediately stipulated the rifle was of legal length.
That shows how corrupt the prosecution was. They knew the rifle was legal. They insisted on keeping the charge, even though they knew.
This has been coming for a long time. I think the term anarcho-tyranny was coined in the 1990s.
I stand corrected.
Then Gravelly needs to be voted out, if not prosecuted for allowing this travesty to go on over his supervision.
