Rittenhouse Trial is Effectively Over

[bellisarius]

Oh my:

BREAKING: Judge slams prosecutors for trying to use Rittenhouse's right to remain silent against him
"You are already, I was astonished, when you began your examination by focusing on the defendant's post-arrest silence. That's basic law, it's been basic law in this country for 40 years, 50 years," the judge said.

That prosecutor has a reputation for stupid. First he calls witnesses that destroy his own case and then starts a confrontation with the judge? Is he actually trying to force a mistrial? To what ends? So he can decline to prosecute a new trial and maybe save some face? Mind boggling.

He knows this trial is lost, and his only hope to put KR behind bars is a retrial.

What makes him think a retrial is going to end any better? He just won't call the same witnesses? Duh dummy, the defense can.

They should pipe in the song “Proud to be an American” after the Not Guilty verdict is read and people leave the courtroom.

That' why the defense asks for a directed verdict and will renew it after they rest their case.

The judge could rule a mistrial with prejudice, or order a directed verdict in favor of KR.
