Rittenhouse trial thread (multi-merged)

[BerettaGuy]

As I am watching the trail on YouTube, arguing about the "instructions" I am still appalled by the actions of the prosecution and the malpractice of the defense. But in my humble opinion, the progressive left elite wants and needs a conviction. Otherwise, you have the right of self-defense against a routing mob and they can't have that.

 

[BerettaGuy]

They are arguing over the use of FMJ is showing utter disregard for human life... . Look at the NJ law on hollow points. in handguns ...

This is why I say that lawyers don't have any skin in the 2A Rights game.
Kyle testified they went plinking on the friend's property.
Now I'm not the poorest man in the world but I don't go plinking with 'hollow points" Simple economics. I don't use hollow points rifle or pistol to shoot on the range or out in the woods plinking.

The whole argument is silly for .223.

Hollow points offer a bit of increased performance in some calibers, but in .223 the improvement is not all that drastic anyway.

If you're not familiar with him, the guy is fantastic. He did a series of articles on mathematic analysis of firearm issues. Brilliant stuff. His take on Rittenhouse:

Rittenhouse as a Litmus for Adult Disagreement

Wherein we analyze a meme, a lie, a reaction, a riot, and a couple dead people, and discern the true enemy.

While doing motions about charges, there is a dispute about a poorly worded, vague, Wisconsin long gun possession law. The judge just said, [paraphrase] "The law is poorly worded and is not easy to understand. Laws should be written so that people understand the statutes with which they are expected to comply."

Man! I wish this judge were in New York.

I believe you are mistaken, Kyle did have FMJ ammo that night.

Binger’s focus on ammunition came after Rittenhouse previously confirmed that his AR-15 was loaded with full metal casing (FMJ) bullets, rather than hollow points.

my Rittenhouse guilty/not guilty prediction:

the judge has now ALLOWED the use of "Lesser Charges" Giving the prosecution a chance to save face in the debacle of a trial:

Kyle will be convicted of a lesser charge, 3rd degree murder (Manslaughter) Its the easiest charge to get a murder conviction. Thereby saving the prosecution from and embarrassing display of gross stupidity. I also predict Kyle will be convicted of carrying a firearm across state lines.

The liberals CAN NOT afford to let this kid go free. For two reasons

1) they need to send the message, Protecting yourself will result in severe penalties

2) if acquitted, Kyle is going to sue the shit out of every news caster/MSM AND POTUS for hundreds of millions of dollars for calling him a white supremist/Terrorist/murderer. Apparently CNN didn't learn there lesson in the Sandman case

Did something change from post #396?
Article says he will not allow lesser charges.

Thinking about Rittenhouse at 17. During WWII 16 year olds lied about their age to sign up for various services to serve.

In DC guarding Brandon.

There are a shocking number of people out there who think he shot black people. When I point this out to people I've been called a liar.

The msm narrative did not explicitly state the race of the men who attacked Rittenhouse and continue to fail to do so. They want people to think that he went to Kenosha to kill black people instead of what he did which was to defend businesses and himself he against antifa.

yes, the judge is now saying he will allow the jury to hear lesser charges. I guess he must feel sorry for the totally incompetent prosecution and wants to give them a sliver of hope

Judge Says Rittenhouse 'Raising' Conviction Risk as Jury Weighs Charges

The jury in the trial is now able to consider lesser charges that Judge Bruce Schroeder will decide on by Saturday.

www.newsweek.com

The Associated Press reported that Judge Bruce Schroeder said he would issue his final rulings on which lesser charges he would allow on Saturday.

it seems there is some confusion as to whether the judge will allow the lesser charges, or when he will rule on it.

I have seen, "he won't allow the lesser charges" and I saw this morning "the judge will allow the lesser charges", now I see the above headlines that he won't rule until tomorrow"

so who knows what the hell is going on

They'll say one of the white guys was black.
