This judge needs to recuse himself immediately. He has an obvious bias of protecting Kyle!

Same guy who was worried about how his rulings were being discussed in MSM (and discussed it in front of the jury).
Same guy who has been seen scrolling through his phone instead of paying attention to the trial.

Judge just corrected the state and said what he was saying was incorrect and now they are taking a lunch break. No objection from defense, but judge thought he needed to give his opinion.

The talking heads on Court TV are saying the Prosecutor acted very disrespectfully towards the judge today.

Witness: Kenosha victim was belligerent but no threat

A witness at Kyle Rittenhouse's murder trial says the first man shot on the streets of Kenosha was acting “belligerently" but did not appear to pose a serious threat to anyone.

Rosenbaum’s killing has emerged as one of the most crucial moments that night because it set in motion the bloodshed that followed moments later.

Rittenhouse shot and killed Huber, a 26-year-old protester seen on bystander video hitting Rittenhouse with a skateboard. Rittenhouse then wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, who had a gun in his hand as he stepped toward the young man.

Rittenhouse could get life in prison if convicted in the case that has stirred furious debate over self-defense, vigilantism, the right to bear arms and the racial unrest that erupted around the U.S. after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and other cases like it.

I'm wondering if the prosecutor is pushing against the line in order to get a mistrial declared. Then they would have a new judge with rules that don't hamstring the prosecution so much.

Pretty much.

Did state's own witnesses hurt Rittenhouse case?

The prosecution called more than a dozen witnesses, and some legal experts say some of them hurt the prosecution's case.

I've been wondering the same thing.

 

[Guess Who]

I've been wondering the same thing.

only a judge can declare a mistrial. This judge is not about to do that for fear he would not get the case the next time.

U.S. judge in Rittenhouse trial says jury can consider teen provoked attack

The judge in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse said on Friday he would instruct the jury they can consider the prosecution's argument that the teenager provoked an encounter with one of two men he fatally shot during protests in Wisconsin last year.

www.reuters.com

Rittenhouse is charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the death of Rosenbaum, first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Huber and attempted first-degree intentional homicide in the shooting of Grosskreutz. He faces life in prison if convicted on those counts.

Schroeder ruled against the prosecution's request for a lesser charge with Rosenbaum's shooting, saying the evidence did not show that Rittenhouse could win acquittal on first-degree reckless homicide but found guilty on the second.

With Huber, Rittenhouse's lawyers said they would accept jury consideration of second-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless homicide but not second-degree reckless homicide. Unlike the higher charges, second-degree reckless homicide does not require proof that the teen exhibited an "utter disregard" for life.

After Rittenhouse's lawyers indicated they were fine with the lesser charges, the judge agreed to instruct the jury on them.
