EXCLUSIVE: Prosecutors in Kenosha shooter trial WITHHELD high-definition video evidence from the defense that was 'at the center of their case' and initially shared a lower quality version of drone footage from the night of Kyle Rittenhouse shooting
- Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger initially shared low quality drone footage from the night of the shooting with the defense
- The defense claims Binger only shared the high-definition footage after evidence had closed on Saturday
- According to a motion filed today by the defense, 'The problem is the prosecution gave the defense a compressed version of the video'
- 'What that means is the video provided to the defense was not as clear as the video kept by the state,' the motion states
- Lawyers for Rittenhouse filed their motion for mistrial with prejudice based on this and several other grounds
Prosecutors in the Kenosha shooter trial withheld evidence from the defense that was 'at the center of their case,' only sharing the high-definition drone video footage on which they have hung their prosecution after the trial had concluded, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger played the enhanced drone footage to the jury during his closing statements and claimed that it showed Rittenhouse 'pointing his gun' at people – an assertion that opened the door to the state claiming Rittenhouse provoked the violence of the night of August 25, 2020.
Now, in the motion obtained by DailyMail.com, Rittenhouse's defense insist that the state only shared it with the defense after evidence had closed on Saturday November 13.
This is one just one of the grounds on which they have made a motion for a mistrial with prejudice filed by
Kyle Rittenhouse's defense Monday afternoon.
