I've been watching the whole thing through. This is a miscarriage of the law in the highest order.
The prosecution are gaslighting the judge, and the defense are letting them.
Kyle's defense has basically abandoned him and wouldn't even object to the prosecution coming out and saying the sky is green and that's why Kyle Rittenhouse shot 90 black men in cold blood while blasting "let the bodies hit the floor."
The judge has numerous times said in statement things completely favorable to Rittenhouse and has even yelled at the prosecution for their bullshit and then immediately rules against HIS OWN LOGIC!
AND THE DEFENSE JUST LETS HIM!
Things are going very bad for Kyle, and I'm not overstating it.
It was the defense's case to lose, and they seem content with losing to the fantasy presented by the prosecution.
The largest affront to reality is how the prosecution is claiming Kyle provoked Rosenbaum by pointing his gun at Ziminski, which Rosenbaum didn't know nor has it been proven he realized that had happened.
They are creating this fantasy because they have drone footage that came in only last Friday that they have blown up and is so blurry it makes Kyle look left handed, but somehow that's good enough to show Kyle pointed his gun at Ziminski.
No one in their right mind could look at a video where Kyle is less than 10 pixels and decide he held his gun up for a fraction of a second, but that's where we are. The prosecution basically convinced the judge that a shit stain on some paper towel shows that it will rain tomorrow, and the defense just lets them do it.
This is a travesty, and it opens up the prosecution to gaslight the jury like they have gaslit the judge.
In a world that makes sense, this case would have been dismissed on day two.
The world doesn't make sense, though.
Why tf are you writing a novel about antifa? Idgaf. Your whole shtick was dooming about the court.
Contradicting yourself.
So I'll say it again.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
You aren't getting it yet?
The rig is in.
Richards is working against Kyle.
Would you put out any effort if you knew the job was already done?
That's why he didn't object to ANYTHING. He knows Kyle is gonna get convicted. Hell, just take a look at his jury selection!
If I'm wrong on this point, it's because if he was out to screw Kyle over he wouldn't be doing anything different.
Filings for a mistrial with prejudice should have concluded last Friday during charges discussion, not on closing arguments Monday! That's standard procedure! It leaves absolutely no time to pursue that route because the jury deliberation is already ongoing.
If they really wanted to let Kyle walk, he would be out already, Binger gave them EVERYTHING for a mistrial with prejudice yet they are still leaving it up to the jury to decide on every damn thing!
And consider, putting Kyle on the stand introduced 2 new charges based on his own testimony. The defense risked everything putting him on the stand, but the boy aced it despite them. We can at least be thankful for that miracle, if purely for his own peace of mind.
The talk about the Judge being a good-old-boy is all fluff to make it look like Kyle has every advantage. Everything the judges says contradicts what he does. If he really wanted justice he would have sequestered the jury for their own protection and started confronting the threats being made against him and the jurors. Since he hasn't addressed these things, I can only assume it's because Kyle is getting convicted and he doesn't have to.
It doesn't even have to be a grand conspiracy either. They might be doing all this because in their minds it's the only way to avoid the ANTIFA riot. Instead, they are playing right into a new narrative where Patriots are the agitators and rioters.
We can't win with this.
It's a lose-lose situation. Nothing good can come of this case coming out now. Honestly, it should be standard that verdicts on highly publicized cases like these be released at a random date within a month of the actual end of the case, to avoid this very scenario. There is every incentive to convict Kyle and get him off at an appellate proceeding, and that's exactly what they've prepped to do. They wouldn't be doing anything differently, which suggests to me that's what is going on.
Tomorrow I will post a picture of my hat which I will chew on for 20 minutes if they let him off.
Getting this ahead of time, 5:47 Central right now for me, for the record.
Let's see how this goes.
You don't have to chew on your hat. I wouldn't want you damaging your own property. Just give it a lil kiss for me. :)

No, I'm a man of my word. I just have to figure out how to post a picture of a chewed on hat that actually looks like it's been chewed on.
Wool is too flexible. I'm gonna have to chew on one of my super-old Indiana Jones hats. Damn thing was too small anyways.
