Rittenhouse pleads 'Not Guilty'

[jamil]

Defense tearing lefty apart.

Well, are you here to discuss alternative thinking or are you here to troll people you disagree with? The quote seems to suggest the latter.

Wut

I think there is a miscommunication. I believe "Lefty" is the felon in possession that had his right bicep turned to pink mist by Rittenhouse, not a leftist.

 

[CTC B4Z]

Lmao oh yea...

Definitely went right over his head.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Though I suspect Lefty is also a leftist as well. LOL (in the sense of antifa)

And it's "vaporized"

During testimony, when asked if he was "advancing" on Rittenhouse while the defendant was "seated on his butt" on the ground after shooting Huber, Grosskreutz said yes.

The defense then showed an image of Grosskreutz with his gun in his right hand standing a few feet from Rittenhouse. Grosskreutz agreed with the defense that his firearm was pointed at Rittenhouse.

Grosskreutz said that the image, which captured the moment he was shot, shows his "bicep being vaporized." Rittenhouse's defense attorney asked him if when his bicep is "being vaporized" if his gun was pointed at the defendant. Grosskreutz said yes.

"It wasn't until you pointed your gun at [Rittenhouse]...that he fired," the attorney asked.

"Correct," Grosskreutz said.

Lefty isn't shaping up to be a great witness for the prosecution.

Maybe Tony hawks aunt?

I mean they were real close, they had red hair and liked star wars.

Imagine the prosecution team sitting around the table.

"Can we find anyone who knew Rosenbaum that he didn't try to rob or rape?"

"Can we keep the jury from seeing the pics of Kyle cleaning up graffiti and offering medical help to blm protestors?"

"Can we just admit this whole trial is a sham and go home?"

 

[Cameramonkey]

If after all this Rittenhouse gets convicted of anything more than being a kid with a gun, you know the justice system has failed.

So what's the under/over on riots if he skates?

 

[CTC B4Z]

Riots no matter what

Riots no matter what

I kinda doubt it. It's cold out....and this case doesn't have the overtones.

"your honor, in the interest of public safety and so that our city isnt burned to the ground, can we continue this case until Jan 3?"

That's funny, but sadly I doubt that will not be in some people's mind when trying a big case like this.

No interest. Without cable I the only TV news I see is ABC nightly news and the short segments on the morning show before they switch to the non-news human interest coverage. I have not seen any mention of the Rittenhouse case other than a brief note that it began. Leads me to believe it is not going to be a successful witch hunt that will generate TV ratings so the networks don't care. Might get a little local attention but Lefty and his cohorts are hardly model citizens.

Winter in Wisconsin is not conducive to rioting, even if you set crap on fire.

 

[Cameramonkey]

Is there any point at which he has grounds for a remedy for malicious prosecution
If the prosecution continues to parade nothing but witnesses friendly to the defense and he skates?

I mean if you can’t even provide a witness helpful to the prosecution, should the trial have even happened?

Maybe, but I'm really not sure one way or the other. Malicious prosecution generally requires a lack of probable cause, but I don't know if that means if you have one charge that has PC you're good on the others. So if there's PC for the possession charge, can the other charges be a "rider" and not be malicious? I don't know if this is universal, but you often need to show mindset as well. Acting with malice is not the same as being incompetent.
