Yesterday the jury asked if they can see the videos and play them back without limit.
The Judge is still trying to deal with the high-res vs. low-res drone video problem.
Since the high res version of the drone footage was never entered into evidence, only the low res version was entered by the defense, the Judge cannot give the high res version to the jury.
The high res version more clearly shows that Kyle did not point his gun at anyone prior to being chased by Rosenbaum, which undercuts the prosecution’s argument that Kyle provoked the chain of events.
One of four things are going to happen:
1) The jury returns a verdict of not guilty, and everybody is off the hook.
2) The jury returns a guilty verdict on at least one charge, or lesser included crimes, and Kyle has potential reversible error on appeal.
3) The Judge calls a mistrial, and we do this all over again.
4) The Judge calls a mistrial with prejudice, and the whole thing is over.
The Judge is not going to declare a mistrial either with or without prejudice, so the Judge is hoping for a not guilty verdict from the jury to bail him out.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. He can keep this hot potato in the jury’s hands. Didn’t the defense file for a mistrial with prejudice night before last?
He could’ve done it already if he was so inclined. We’ll see what happens, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over.
“The Judge is not going to declare a mistrial either with or without prejudice”
How do you know?
I watched the Judge ....he comes over as self serving TV time video hog
I have watched a few petty claims court and know what a Judge looks like in stating the facts, moving the case on and overall professional demeanor.
The "Judge" in this case should be spending a lot more time with his family.....to put it politely.
