Kyle Rittenhouse - guilty or not guilty?

[as2]

Ok he just did a complete 180 with his emotions. I am not buying it.
Before you jump all over me this what jury members have to look at. They will all come to different conclusions.

They left off with him describing how he was cornered, and came back veering away from that a bit. Still a bit peculiar, but not putting too much stock in it. Jury can also give a bad verdict. I should hope they don't use emotion as an indication of innocence or guilt.

The emotions/demeanor among other things you are allowed to look at when deciding in you believe the testimony.
If I as a juror decide the emotions were staged I am allowed to use that in if I believe his testimony.

Not disagreeing. I don't think any human is capable of not trying to portray or exaggerate emotion when this much is at stake.

Prosecution is cross examining now.

Any insight why the judge just called a break?

ETA: judge just said that the prosecutor possibly went over the line, and he better stop

Now we know. Ouch!!!
Agree with judge.

No idea how common that is, but seemed like a pretty harsh rebuke to me

[YitzyS]

I'm surprised that the judge keeps giving open criticism to the prosecutor. Usually it's the defense lawyer who raises the objections

[YitzyS]

BTW, some are making a big deal about the fact that the judge handed him a bottle of water.

Ironically, I personally have seen it happen in the past in a courtroom.

Prosecutor: "Isn't it true that some people playing the video games use it to try to kill everyone else?"

KR: (with a look of 'wow, that's ridiculous' on his face) "Uh, yeah, but it's video game. It's not real life."

His video game angle crashed and burned.

What did he say to earn that?

[CountValentine]

His video game angle crashed and burned.

Some people believe these games are responsible for our current violence. I would bet some jurors from this area believe that.

Now what?

Now what?

[YitzyS]

Judge is fuming at the prosecutor

[as2]

DA currently getting torn a new one

[YitzyS]

I'm waiting for CV to start taking bets on the chance of this ending today in a mistrial...

We just found out Kyle is not this good guy. He wants to kill others with his AR15 but the judge doesn't want it to come out.
