This third day of the trial was perhaps the worst yet for ADA Thomas Binger’s efforts to have Kyle Rittenhouse convicted and sentenced to life in prison for having shot three men (two fatally) the night of August 25, 2020 in Kenosha WI, when the city was suffering a tsunami of rioting, looting, and arson following the lawful shooting of a knife-wielding Jacob Blake by Kenosha police officers.
And that’s really saying something because its’ not like the prosecution out-performed in the first two days of the trial. Indeed, coming into today, the state had yet to present any evidence that was substantively inconsistent with Kyle’s legal defense of self-defense—none.

If you have the time, it is well worth reading the always intelligent commentary of Andrew Branca, on this trial that is ongoing. He not only writes in a way that is easy to read, but his understanding of the law and the ongoing case is very compelling so far as what is happening in the courtroom where not only Kyle R. is being tried for the crime of defending himself, but really the entire gun owning community is also on trial for the same thing, daring to think that you have the right to defend yourself against criminals with deadly force, if your are threatened with the same deadly force.
ReplyDeleteI await the results of this trial with my fingers crossed, and high hopes for not only Kyle, but for gun owners as well.
Agreed. Excellent commentary at the link.
DeleteProsecuting attorney needs to be disbarred and sent to prison for prosecutorial misconduct and/or malicious prosecution. Kyle should not have been charged in the first place. In fact, the Kenosha mayor and city council should be charged as accessories and co-conspirators to the rioters.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think those blood-stained "confessions" that were introduced during the trials of those traitors who conspired against General Secretary Stalin might have damaged the prosecution, too. But, things have a way of working out the way they're supposed to when you're the State. And if things should go amiss, well....the Federal prosecutors are there waiting in the wings, too.
