What was the deal with having Rittenhouse pull the juror names randomly? Seemed inappropriate; must’ve been Judge Schroeder’s idea.

I understand Brady violations are pretty common, but sitting on evidence until after closing sounds like they want a mistrial. Why not just keep sitting on it?

Are you really disputing this point?

If that guy had been black. Holding that weapon and at a white people riot about anything, He’d be dead now.
That’s just fact.

There was that one armed protestor in Austin who got killed, but he was white and arguably pointing his gun at someone like an idiot if I remember correctly.

Was there a single instance of a black protestor or rioter being killed by cops last year? There has to be at least one but I can't think of it. The only black guy who got murdered that I can remember was a cop who was murdered by a looter.

There was this:

https://abcnews.go.com/US/members-armed ... r-protest/

but that was someone accidentally shooting their fellow protestors... no mention if a non-lethal skateboard was involved or in traveling to the protest they crossed they state lines with firearms.

I see the story now, the prosecutors intentionally withheld the HD drone video (and the name of jump kick man, who k-rit is accused of endangering) from the defense until after testimony had completed and only gave them a lower rez compressed video to work with. Withholding potentially exculpatory evidence is probably grounds for a mistrial.

Plus all this: https://www.yahoo.com/news/rittenhouse- ... 03984.html

And this (warning this is from reddit and not a "legit" news source, but good luck finding one that will list out this stuff): https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/q ... 4/hkwpivg/

I also get such records for Huber, Grosskreutz, Rosenbaum, and Ziminski. I interview whoever they talked to in the days immediately after August 25, 2020. I interview whoever they talk to most.

I stick their cellphone records in a database, and I find the common contacts among them (Huber, Grosskreutz, and Ziminski certainly have friends in common). I interview those common contacts. I put together an exhibit for the jury showing how these people are connected to each other.
Not getting Gaige's phone was at least in part to avoid discussing how the protests/ rioting were organized.

We know exactly how Kyle and crew ended up there that night. The people burning shit? Not so much.

This guy is a raging asshole, but not entirely wrong here:

Watching right-wingers swing from a sense of glorious vindication to crushing disappointment and back, like this was some college football game, has made for a interesting week.
