Kenosha Wisconsin

[Pissed Off Patriot]

Guns-n-Gadgets reported about an hour ago that a US Marshall at the courthouse stated there are 2 jurors who are holding up the verdict because they are afraid of repercussions to themselves and their families if the press leaks the jurors names after the verdict is announced.

While this bodes well for the fact that they're leaning towards acquit (because they're worried about rioting, etc.), it also points out the travesty that there is even a consideration to public opinion being considered by the jurors who hold a young man's future in their hands....the verdict should be based solely on the law, not whether the they'll be riots based upon the decision.

Yet another good reason for the judge declaring a mistrial with prejudice then.

I'm fairly optimistic this judge would do exactly that.

Rittenhouse defense moves for mistrial with prejudice after discovering prosecutors withheld high-definition drone footage. My understanding is that the prosecution used a blurry video still to suggest Rittenhouse pointed his rifle at people and thus 'provoked' his attackers. It appears that higher resolution imagery that didn't allow for misinterpretation of the image was available. At the very least this points to the prosecution intentionally misleading the jury, and at worst is the state intentionally withholding exculpatory evidence.

I need to ask Norm Deguerre x2 whether withholding exculpatory evidence is a crime, but I think it is.

This would be absolutely shameful. A prosecutor that withholds exculpatory evidence to get a conviction just to pad their personal numbers should not only be charged criminally, but dia-barred for life.

[Norm Deguerre x2]

Absolutely ....
However, it is done all the time without consequences

No Atty is ever going to throw another under the 10- Wheeler

Sounds like this is turning into a Peshittashow with the prosecution making all kinds of stupid excuses about how the video file must have changed because of the defense's phone type or email or some such stupidness even though the metadata clearly shows the defense's low res version of the video was created at a different time and it has a different file name.

How we're in the 21st century and there aren't standard legal procedures for handling digital evidence is beyond me.

[WARFAB]

Defense motions for a mistrial without prejudice.....?

[dwa12479]

WithOUT?

This is turning into quite the circus.

Judge Schroeder has yelled at Binger multiple times for his constitutional violations of Fifth Amendment protections and other egregious prejudicial conduct. What Schroeder should do is declare a mistrial based on the multitude of prosecutorial screw-ups that have happened, especially this new video caper (or #compressiongate) mess. Instead, Schroeder decided that there will be a special hearing calling expert technical witnesses and testimony under oath. For real.

Now the prosecution is going to have to testify on the record and under oath how the drone footage file magically changed file names and compressed itself into a blurry rendition of itself for the defense but remained in perfect pixelation for the prosecution.

[big flash]

total sh|tshow

[dwa12479]

I feel like the only thing missing is the Benny Hill theme music playing over the court PA system...

[WARFAB]

Not guilty on all counts.

[usmcveteran]

Is their rioting yet?

[camper4lyfe]

It's going to be fun watching heads explode

[Norm Deguerre x2]

Not guilty.

[dwa12479]

Ballsy move. Wow. Let the riots commence.

[thughes]

Is their rioting mostly peaceful demonstrations yet?

fixed that for you

[WARFAB]

There's a huge number of people on Twitter claiming this verdict means it is now fair game to shoot protesters and that there's going to be blood in the streets.

As much as this is a totally incorrect take that shows they only saw biased and incorrect media accounts instead of the actual evidence in the trial, maybe we should just let everyone run with this. If all the leftists who are prone to violently riot, loot, and burn down communities when they don't get their way think they'll likely get shot for doing so, maybe we'll have fewer riots.....?

I would say thats a good thing. Its a deterrent for sure.
