Completely normal trial judge

This is normal behavior in many government scenarios. We had a moment of silence for vets this morning and the federal government is on holiday today.

Not when the only vet in the room happens to be the witness for the defence next up on the stand

Play the hand you’re dealt! Lol.

By the way stop pretending that anyone in a position like this wouldn’t take advantage of it. I have started watching politics a lot more closely over the past couple of years and what I see sickens me. But they all do it. Trump, Biden, doesn’t matter they’re all the fucking same.

A judge is obliged to leave his political leanings and personal beliefs at home and not take them into the courtroom. In any normal country anyways.

I am not sure taking a moment to honour veterans on a day to honour veterans is taking political leanings or personal beliefs to their court.

his ringtone (first off who still has their phones on in a courtroom?)

the whole yelling over minor shit seems a bit troubling

i dont care if he agrees with my world view or not but he should not being doing so many things that are outside the normals of justice

The prosecutor mentioning in open court the defendant's choice to assert his 5A right to remain silent after arrest is far from minor shit.

Not sure that is really world ending stuff

Can you believe this Nazi judge has an American flag in his courtroom?

Like … senile? Or like … doesn’t share your exact worldview?

Generally speaking, if you feel like you can read the judge’s worldview enough from his conduct during this trial to suspect that opposing worldviews is Peeps’s issue, that’s subpar.

Worldview aside, he said that magnifying an image is “adding data” to it and therefore unreliable, so that’s pretty weird for a person regularly presiding over criminal trials.

Personally, my experience with judges is that a large percentage of them are absolute geezer morons with a clear preferential lean in many trials, so his stupidity seems like a rather ordinary display of a broader, possibly national problem….not something unique to Rittenhouse.

Agreed. They should be like referees in a football game. You shouldn’t be able to detect bias, and if you feel like you can, then yeah, that’s a problem.

That said, detecting bias can kinda depend what side you’re on. Can’t it?

Some follow-up on this, the ipad device that the ADA was attempting to use to "zoom" into the video does actually do interpolation. Which is this:

One cannot "add" information to a picture that doesn't already include it. In order to make a "larger" picture, digital zoom uses interpolation to estimate what it "thinks" the pixels should be; it doesn't simply make pixels "bigger."

So it seems like the judge is inadvertently correct.

That’s a MacRumors message board post, and the follow-ups are not generally favorable to it.

The lawyers literally spent an hour+ on it today bro. You can listen to them repeatedly explain it to the judge.

Edit: to be clear, they are explaining interpolation and the algos not the specific details of whatever Apple is doing when it resizes/resamples/zooms on video.
