Were I the DA, I'd be reconsidering even calling Rosenbaum's GF at this point. She would have to be very well coached to not open those doors during her testimony. Calling her for the mere purpose of saying it was a hospital bag is not worth it.

Defense up.

Defense approach here should have been that the suicidal state of mind explains motive and actions of Rosenbaum at the time of the confrontation
The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. - Well Endowed Ag

Rosenbaum had a heavy chain. That doesn't sound like he was "unarmed" to me.

Agree. I think they have the TV monitor too close to the jury to get a good angle without showing them.

Judge was talking about the courthouse being nearly a hundred years old. Not enough room I guess.

If I'm the defense I take that chain or a similar one and smack the **** out of something with it in front of the jury.

If Derek Chauvin when to prison, so will this kid. Neither should though.

He won't be called until the defense presents its case. DA can't call him.

Not so sure of that. There are a lot of gun owners and hunters on this jury.

Rosenbaum might have been psychotic that night bur the DA says it's irrelevant

Seems pretty relevant to me. But I'm just a builder.

Isn't it relevant in suicide by cop scenarios?

Lunch recess about 45 minutes.

Defense counsel ain't flashy but he was clear and pretty concise with the addition of the visual aids he made a good narrative to counter the confusion that the DA had sowed in his opening statements.

To me, the first shooting is the most problematic. In the other two, he was being attacked with a skateboard and a gun. I think it's easy to find either of those justified the use of deadly force.

But I still think he's innocent of all three.

Has he been acquitted yet? If not, what is taking so long?

In the new video from a few post back it shows pretty clear he was chased and then had something thrown at him. Put that with what was said earlier and I think it quickly jumps to self defense

The more I see and hear, the more it is apparent that Rittenhouse was a man among boys. He ran towards trouble to defend property, clean up the destruction and to render aid, while most others were out there that night to destroy and hurt others. Rittenhouse deserves a medal and acquittal, including the underage firearm possession count.

What has been alleged in the first one? He was being chased but no idea beyond that. Did the pedo have a weapon?

If it went the way the prosecution says it did, it sounds pretty bad for Rittenhouse


If it went the the defense says, sounds very much in line with self defense

Part of me wants to say, don't bring a long gun to a riot. Same as the antifa guy who got killed in austin. Even so, you still have the ability to protect yourself

I hadn't heard that Rosenbaum threatened Kyle and his friend Balch saying if he got either one of them alone he'd kill them.

Verbal threat, pursuit until Rosenbaum did get Kyle alone in the car parking lot. A shot is fired by Rosenbaum's friend, Ziminski. Rosenbaum goes for Kyle's gun. And McGinnis is there at the time of the shooting.

Self-defense?

The prosecution is going to hard about the contents of the bag. It's the entire reason they are calling the gf to the stand. It doesn't really matter what the bag contained because there's nobway Rittenhouse could've know whether it was something benign or something dangerous.

He threw a bag at him. He was clearly being violent, and he was the attacker. Rittenhouse was trying to run away. Still, anytime you should an unarmed person, you are in jeopardy.

That earlier video clearly shows his mindset, "Shoot me n*gg**!" Who in their right mind runs around a riot shouting that. If I'm on the jury, that shows to me that Rosenbaum was looking to instigate a gun fight, and he later did.

And that could wind up being a very bad decision on the DA's part. It is not that relevant what was in the bag, certainly not so if Rosenbaum's other hand had a chain in it at the time, according to defense counsel.

I'm also curious how the last charge, illegal possession by a minor, will play into all of this. Kyle has a right to self defense but self defense isn't defined by a gun or limited to a gun only. Kyle could have taken a baseball bat, a heavy chain, or a metal pole to defend himself but he used something he was not legally permitted to carry.

To me, yes, but I thought Chauvin was innocent too, so what do I know?

Nothing, as is repeatedly proven.
