While the liberal media was busy prosecuting
Kyle Rittenhouse of murder before the juror found him not guilty on all counts, DailyMail.com continued to dig deeper, breaking stories to get to the bottom of the events of August 25, 2020.
Over the course of the trial, DailyMail.com revealed how the prosecution withheld evidence, the chilling content of the death threats received by the judge and the true character of the state's 'star witness' who they tried to paint as a hero.
And while many are surprised at the verdict, those watching the trial closely will see that the prosecution was doomed from the start, with DailyMail.com revealing that even the Kenosha District Attorney passed the case off to his ADA Thomas Binger because he knew it was a losing proposition.
Prosecution withheld evidence
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 revealed.
Prosecutors in the Kenosha shooter trial withheld evidence from the defense that was 'at the center of their case,' DailyMail.com revealed. Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger initially shared low quality drone footage from the night of he shooting with the defense
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.
But in the motion obtained by DailyMail.com, Rittenhouse's defense insisted 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 made a motion for a mistrial with prejudice filed by
Kyle Rittenhouse's defense Monday afternoon.
According to the motion, 'On November 5, 2021, the fifth day of trial on this case, the prosecution turned over to the defense footage of a drone video which captured some of the incident from August 25, 2020.
'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 goes onto explain that the file size of the defense video is just 3.6MB while the prosecution's is 11.2MB.
The motion states that this larger file was not provided to the defense 'until after the trial concluded'
It reads, 'During the jury instructions conference, the defense played their version of the video for the court to review. The state indicated their version was much clearer and had their tech person come into court to have the court review their clearer video. The video is the same, the resolution of that video, however, was not.'
The motion states, 'As it relates to the compressed drone footage. The prosecution should be required to explain to the court why they did not copy the footage for the defendant with the same quality as their copy
'The video footage has been at the center of this case. The idea that the state would provide lesser quality footage and then use that footage as a linchpin in their case is the very reason they requested and were granted the provocation instruction by the Court.'
Prosecution's star witness is a career criminal
The prosecution's star witness in the
Kyle Rittenhouse case had a criminal charge dismissed just six days before the trial's start, meaning the jury had no insight into his extensive criminal record nor his history of lying to police, DailyMail.com revealed.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger was well aware of this when he paraded Gaige Grosskreutz, 28, the third man shot on the night of August 25, 2020, as a paragon of selfless virtue. He was a paramedic, the court heard, just there that evening to provide medical aid, as he claimed to have done at countless other protests across the country.
In fact, DailyMail.com learned, he is a violent career criminal with a laundry list of prior offenses and convictions stretching back more than a decade.
These include domestic abuse, prowling, trespass, two DUIs, felony burglary and two charges of carrying a firearm while intoxicated - one of which took place when he was banned as a felon from carrying a firearm.
He also has a history of showing disdain for the law by lying to, and failing to co-operate with, police.
But the Rittenhouse jury heard none of this.
Because just six days before he took the stand, Grosskreutz was before a judge himself at a hearing at which a pending DUI charge – a second offense that saw him three times over the legal limit – was dismissed on a technicality.
Grosskreutz's attorney successfully filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence on the basis that the traffic stop from which it had been obtained had been unlawful.
Police pulled Grosskreutz over on October 6, 2020, for failure to use a signal but under Wisconsin law if there is no other vehicle present a signal is not necessary.
Vile emails sent to judge include threats to 'spit directly into his face' and 'payback' against his children
The judge presiding over the
Kyle Rittenhouse trial was slammed as a racist and had his life threatened in a torrent of abusive and menacing emails, letters, postcards and faxes received by Kenosha County Courthouse and seen by DailyMail.com
DailyMail.com reviewed the hundreds of offensive communications sent to Judge Bruce Schroeder, and today we can reveal the extraordinary outpouring of vitriol that the high-profile trial has inspired.
One email, sent last week, reads simply, 'Wow way to name a white skinhead hot head to be a judge. No wonder they burn down your city.'
Others calls for the 'racist' judge, the longest serving in the county, to be dismissed and disbarred.
One addressed to 'Your Honor' reads, 'I didn't know that under your black robes of justice you wear a white robe of the klan. There is no way a fair trial can be heard under your supervision. Better yet, resign.'
Among the most disturbing messages to the judge was one that threatens the lives of the judge's children, promises 'pay back,' and states that Rittenhouse 'won't live long' if acquitted.
The email, much of which is too offensive to reproduce, states the hope that one day Judge Schroeder's 'kids become victims to the most heinous homicide known to man so he feels the pain an [sic]we will call his kids not victims but b******s.'
It is one of a deluge of hate-filled missives that were sent as a direct response to the judge's ruling last month that prosecutors could not refer to Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz - the men shot by Rittenhouse - as 'victims.'
Meanwhile he permitted the defense to use the terms 'looters' and 'rioters' when describing the events of the night of August 25, 2020, when Rittenhouse shot the three men during a night of BLM protests and rioting.
'Jump-kick man' who kicked Rittenhouse in the face is a career criminal
A career criminal and convicted felon with an open domestic violence charge has claimed to be the unidentified male at whom
Kyle Rittenhouse shot twice at close range but missed, on the night of August 25, 2020.
+10
Maurice Freeland, 39, has admitted that he was the one who kicked Rittenhouse in the head
Rittenhouse was charged with First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety of the man known in trial only as 'jump-kick man,' for the flying kick he took at the teenager's head as Rittenhouse was attacked minutes after he shot Joseph Rosenbaum dead.
Maurice Freeland, 39, admitted that he was the one who kicked Rittenhouse in the head and narrowly avoided being shot as a result, after the then 17-year-old stumbled to the ground as he attempted to flee.
The state has painted all these actors, including those Rittenhouse killed and injured, as heroes attempting to take down an 'active shooter.'
It emerged that the same is true of 'jump-kick man' who was on bond that night for an alleged assault on his girlfriend that included kicking her in the ribcage having thrown her to the floor.
DailyMail.com already revealed that both Huber and Grosskreutz have lengthy and violent criminal histories, with the latter having a history of lying to police.
DailyMail.com revealed that the man he painted a hero was out on bond having been charged with Battery Domestic Abuse, Criminal Damage to Property Domestic Abuse and Disorderly Conduct Domestic Abuse for an incident that took place on March 23, 2020.
Court records obtained by DailyMail.com detail the night in question – a night during which Freeland and his partner Monalisa N McDuffie had both been drinking.
Police responded to a call about 'family trouble,' at approximately 12.19am.
