Well said. Wasn't going to waste my time with someone who has an opinion yet has come short of even remotely reading about what's going on.
IDK how closely you or our other INGO legal eagles have been following this, but do you think that's necessary?Rittenhouse on the stand.
I'm not going to second guess what his attorneys are doing. They must think that it's necessary or, maybe more specifically, that he is so well prepared that the possible reward outweighs the risk.IDK how closely you or our other INGO legal eagles have been following this, but do you think that's necessary?
From the testimony I've watched this seems like a chance to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The judge seemed to be.I'm not going to second guess what his attorneys are doing...
I've thought since his initial charges that this was going to be a primary talking point from the prosecutor. I can hear it;It may not be legally necessary, but I think they feel like they must explain why he was there to begin with. We all know that the relevant issue is what was going on the moment he fired the shots and whether it was a legitimate exercise of self defense, but they probably believe that the jury may have an issue with him "injecting himself", armed, into the situation.
That is far from a sure thing. This is a huge gamble.Sure Kyle can screw up but if properly prepped and with appropriate objections by the defense he ought to be able to come out even or ahead.
FFS, he took more ownership of it than the pos mayor who sat on his laurels while his city burned. The kid was cleaning up and helped set perimeters which is more than the city council did.Wasn't 'his' community.
I have a question based on this away from jury discussion:
This clip is a few days old, so my apologies for the delay and if I've missed discussion on this particular part.
Rosenbaum attacks Rittenhouse - not really in dispute. Rittenhouse runs to prevent any further endangerment. Huber, skateboard guy, (allegedly) mistakenly believes that Rittenhouse is murdering people. Attempts to stop him. Defense says that since Rittenhouse was only defending himself, then from the perspective of his defense, Huber is the aggressor but don't seem to allege any crimes on Huber (one could I guess make the case for false imprisonment, but the assault is the primary factor for self-defense, I guess). Prosecution says that Huber believed Rittenhouse was a murderer, so that makes Rittenhouse the aggressor. But these aren't exactly reciprocals of each other, right? The judge seems to indicate this as well where the pattern of facts (events?) as laid out by the defense don't contradict any good intentions by Huber even if Huber is the first aggressor of the Huber-Rittenhouse interaction.
Must there be a criminal element to Huber's attack on Rittenhouse? If so, why can't we accept Huber's (assuming best intentions here) under-informed but good-will attempt to stop Rittenhouse but also that since Rittenhouse right to self-defense since he was attempting to escape severe injury/death? It seems that the prosecution is using partial-information on Huber's part to paint a picture of ill-intention on Rittenhouse's part, which doesn't follow from what the defense is saying in that Youtube clip as I understand it.
TL;DR: Is this Youtube clip just the prosecution desperately trying to re-characterize Huber in a way that doesn't follow from the video evidence?
Grounds for appeal, for sure.
It is a very near-by community, so much so that Kyle has friends there and worked there. I think it counts as close enough.FFS, he took more ownership of it than the pos mayor who sat on his laurels while his city burned. The kid was cleaning up and helped set perimeters which is more than the city council did.
The cops only moved in after they were forced to since they had multiple victims, otherwise they sat behind the lines with a limp dick ROE.
Maybe it isn't 'his' town but he took more responsibility than a lot of folks who absolutely should have.
