Good news for a change! Judge tells prosecutor to pound sand in Rittenhouse case
So far the prosecutor has proven Kyle put out a fire at a church and helps out at the VFW pancake breakfast! Big Grin

Prosecution trying to show Rittenhouse instigated the violence by trying to put out a fire.

I wonder how this prosecutor handles an attempted rape victim who defends herself.

"Didn't you know that crowd would rape you? Why didn't you stay home? Don't you think some stranger yelling 'do me' would instigate that crowd trying to gang bang you?"

This prosecutor is infuriating.

Tar and feather would be the least of what this dude should have.

I think it's obvious now why it's better to not risk testifying in your own trial, especially when you seem to be way ahead anyway. The only reason I can see to do it is to run up the score and it's still a risk.
Looks to me like Kyle's defense lawyers had a word or two with him at the lunch break to keep his answers as simple as possible and he looks a lot more serious now as he should.

I just realized why he was asking all the ammo questions. He was trying to establish that kyle was reckless in firing the weapon with Mcginnis behind dead guy #1.

Kyle should have said:

Are you suggesting that they should shoot people from the rooftops?

You gotta watch being a wiseass on the stand. It is hard though when you are brighter than the Prosecutor.

He's just doing his damndest to try to trip up Kyle somehow on something. He's dragging on and on and on.... He has nothing and he's just fishing. The judge should put a stop to this.

I like the judge telling the prosecutor hey your right up to the edge of violating his constitutional rights. And it seemed like he wanted to say you have violated his rights but ended. Appears the judge has had enough of the BS

I'm beginning to wonder whether the prosecutor is trying to put the jury to sleep and make noise long enough for the impact of previous testimony to wear off. That way all the jury would remember (the prosecutor hopes, if I'm right) is the prosecution's closing statement and the defense's closing statement, leaving the prosecutor on a relatively level playing ground - after losing the testimony phase of the trial.

Even the other prosecutor is falling asleep during Binger's questioning: basically, "how dare you put out fires." and "you didn't see someone you had been with in a group of people."

About every 5 min, the prosecution is asking something irrelevant or speculative that should be objected to, yet the defense refrains from objecting. I just don't understand the defense's game plan.

They're also allowing the prosecution to ask the same damn questions in dozens of different ways in attempt to get Rittenhouse to contradict one of previous answers.

I know, right? Apparently it's illegal, according to the prosecutor, to:

-put out fires
-give first aid
-not be able to predict the future

Also, why is the prosecutor getting away with asking him what other people are thinking, or what the police are doing somewhere several blocks away?

We can't see the jurors' faces and body language, they can. Maybe it is "when your enemy is making a mistake, don't correct them" situation. I mean looking at the big buy's facial expressions and body language (fighting yawns and stretching to keep awake), this is really going nowhere. Right now the Binger is quibbling and it is coming through to everyone in the courtroom but him. He is trying to find a "gotcha" moment and it is not going well.
