"Kyle Rittenhouse". Not Rittenhouse.

Someone got to the judge.

Demanded he declare a mistrial. This was the only way he could think of to do it.

Look for the mistrial soon. Followed by a brand new trial, in which the "star" witness will not appear.

That's literally not what the headline says. English, do you speak it?

Oh come on. There's nothing to see here. Just a code word to keep nosy radio monitors off guard. At the hospital they used to say "Paging Dr. Red" if there was a fire, to avoid spooking the patients.
