Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Cross Resumes: LiveblogThe judge does in fact suspect that Littlefinger is trying to derail the current trial because he knows he's losing. Littlefinger is engaging in tedious questioning to establish, stupidly and falsely, that if you have your gun on a sling, it is IMPOSSIBLE that anyone can take it from you or turn it against you. He's claiming this so as to claim that Rosenbaum posed no threat. He's now talking about Full Metal Jacket rounds in order to claim that they can go through a body and injure people behind their targets, to prove recklessness. He wants to claim hollow points won't exit a body and therefore it was reckless to not use hollow points. Littlefinger now claim that FMJ rounds were designed so that when you shoot one target they will continue travelling and hit bonus targets. Yeah. That's why they were made. The judge stops him here. An expert witness called by the prosecutor to the stand could make such a claim (but wouldn't, because it's it's false and stupid), but Littlefinger has been testifying even though he's supposed to be asking questions, and the judge just stopped him and said "You've been testifying for a while now." He also pointed out that FMJ do not automatically hit bonus targets, which severely understates it. Now they break for lunch. Blago points out that no matter what bullets Kyle used, Littlefinger would have claimed they were the "wrong bullets." If he had used hollowpoints, he would have said Kyle was looking to kill people. 571 And if he used hollow points, it would be he wanted "extra lethal" exploding bullets. Posted by: BlagoHollowpoints expand when they pass through the human body because they are soft, being unjacketed by harder metal, and have hollow points rather than sharper, aerodynamic ones. They tend to not penetrate the body as much as FMJ rounds. But, on the other hand, they produce really horrific wounds as they create especially large wound-channels as the bullet "mushrooms" to have a larger cross-section. Whichever bullets Rittenhouse used, Littlefinger would be claiming this proves his guilt. New observations: Nick Rekieta summarizes that all of his panel agrees that Kyle should not be testifying, "But he's been rolling natural 20's on the stand so far." One commentator calling himself "Good Lawgic" says that while ten of the jurors were probably not going to convict before Kyle took the stand, there would be "one or two Karens" who would convict just because Kyle "stirred up trouble" by just being on the streets (apparently antifa and BLM are allowed to do so) and would convict him just for inconveniencing them, and to show that they have Liberal Anti-Racist Virtue. He thinks that Kyle's testimony is necessary ammunition for the other jurors to "yell at Karen" when they insist on convicting an innocent man just so they can be Respectable. There are a few things that we're afraid the prosecutor will bring up, or may bring up. But given the prosecutor has overstepped himself twice -- and has been yelled at, angrily, by the judge, for his "astonishing," "brazen" misbehavior -- he might have to recalibrate whether he can bring up these touchy subjects. This is stuff that may or may not be relevant -- prior bad acts by Rittenhouse. You cannot bring up prior bad acts of a defendant to prove they acted in comportment with previous bad behavior except for in a couple of limited exceptional cases (such as if your previous bad acts constitute a "signature" which is so similar to the act you're accused of it tends to prove you did it). You can bring in bad acts to establish your state of mind was culpable. But this is treacherous ground, especially because the prosecutor has been twice warned. Does he go ahead and gamble and bring this stuff up, knowing the judge might toss the case out if he disagrees it's admissible? At the very least he'll have to ask to approach the bench and ask permission to introduce this material, instead of saying YOLO and just injecting it into the case without alerting the judge. One of MSNBC's many, many Diversity Racists is handling the day's events with the calm and equipoise with which she handled election night a week ago. Defense is moving for mistrial with prejudice based on intentional bad-faith attempt to contrive a mistrial, because the prosecutor knows the trial is "going badly" and is "coping" by "prejudicing the defendant's ability to have a conclusive confrontation" at the current trial. Judge wants prosecutor to brief him on what evidence he has that Kyle waived his right to the fifth amendment by speaking to the media. Littlefinger tap-dances to justify his actions. Judge says he does not believe he acted in good faith. That's... problematic for the prosecution. Littlefinger wants to introduce a selfie of Kyle wearing a t-shirt that says "Free as F***." For what purpose, I cannot imagine. Actually, I can imagine. Supposedly some of the people in the picture are Proud Boys. While Binger claims he does not intend to say who those people are, he's a sneaky little shit and you damn well he would. This is tense. I'm strung-out watching this. What about you? Littlefinger is suggesting that it's wrongful to put out antifa fires without being a paid Kenosha fireman. He's against Vigilante Firefighters. Sorry this is getting tedious. Littlefinger wants to establish that when Kyle was told BY ANTIFA to stay off the streets, and did not stay off the streets, he provoked them, and thus justified the attack by Rosenbaum. This is an upside-down world-- Rittenhouse is on trial for being an illegal vigilante, but Littlefinger insists that the orders of antifa street vigilantes MUST BE REPECTED AS THE LAWFUL ORDERS OF THE STATE. Littlefinger is doing the "A Few Good Men" thing. He's claiming that because Kyle said there was "no friction" with the crowd, there was no reason to carry the AR-15 to render medical aid. The real answer is: There's no such thing as perfect safety; people carry guns when they have no particular reason to fear danger. Also, what would he do with the gun? Leave it on the street? But Kyle isn't saying that. So this stupid gotcha is semi-effective, at least for Karen. The basics of Littlefinger's line of questioning is that Kyle knew the crowd was hostile and so going on the streets shows his recklessness and willfulness in Defying Antifa's Martial Law. Littlefinger is now questioning Kyle's My Cousin Vinnie-like "I shot the clerk?" statement. When someone said "You pointed a gun at me," he sarcastically said, "I did?" Littlefinger keeps calling this a lie. The Rekieta commentators are going BERSERK over the defense attorneys refusing to object as the prosecution asks for one speculative answer after another (asking what other people thought or believed). Kyle Rittenhouse is on trial for walking around without antifa's permission, similar to how the J6 defendants are on trial for "parading." Only some protesters are allowed to "parade" in federal buildings. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I guess I'm not hanging around the HQ today, because, frankly, I see no good outcome for Rittenhouse. If he's not found guilty, then the state will simply try to grab him again, even if it's for jaywalking. Or an Antifa 'hero' will go hunting for him. Or he'll be driven to bankruptcy and suicide by civil suits.

Im only reading Ace's summary, but i wonder if the prosecution is trying to get Kyle found innocent. As in, they are forced to try the case, but they dont believe it, so they are scuttling it. And nice grey. Posted by: Sassy at November 10, 2021 02:21 PM (xSICi) 56

@41: "It's an automatic critical hit."
Yeah, I forgot that part in my first reply. Critical, basically, 'cause you're hitting five percent odds, and the d20 is usually the biggest dice on the table in terms of side number. Technically, you could get "more critical" by rolling a standard d6 twice, and needing to hit six both times, but then you're being extra stat nerdy.

26, Once again, facts not in evidence. Long weapons retention is a skill that even the military does not ordinarily teach anymore. The old way was to have a mounted bayonet for people charging the rifle and using various stock maneuvers such as the butt stroke. Given the change in AR stocks by the military, moving to a short barrel rifle, and ditching the bayonet, they basically teach shoot them off the gun now from what I understand.
Outside of MP's and their counterparts in other services and maybe special forces, I doubt that handgun retention is taught to them at all. Posted by: whig at November 10, 2021 02:22 PM (9hXN1) 65

62 You are correct that the original 55gr fmj issued bullet tumbled on impact and would often keyhole when encountering an object. It is ass heavy and when the tip hit, the back end will often try to flip forward. Tests have been conducted that actually a 55gr fmj is less likely to penetrate interior walls than something like a 9mm pistol round in full metal jacket.
Look up Box o' Truth with two guys that fire at almost anything to determine how bullets behave. Posted by: whig at November 10, 2021 02:26 PM (9hXN1) 116
"34 There is a reason FMJ bullets are illegal for hunting.
Posted by: Xipe Totec at November 10, 2021 02:18 PM (o2MD2)" Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. And either way, that idiot had no business blathering on about them during questioning, as he's either lying or doesn't know what he's talking about. Regular FMJ ball rounds are the responsible projectile choice in this situation; they will overpenetrate less than softpoints or most hollow points (which in this caliber are usually open tips that are an artifact of how they draw match jackets, not for expansion), at least in people or common building materials at any range under 150-200 yards or so. Most non-FMJ's in this context/caliber are designed to provide stable expansion in order to prevent fragmentation - specifically in order to guarantee a certain degree of penetration. The 5.56 Trohpy Bonded Bear Claw and various Gold Dot loadings are good examples. Posted by: somedood - skull mountain sherpa at November 10, 2021 02:26 PM (c3dw6) 117

Sure, it could have gone horribly wrong. It's even possible that they had no intention of putting him on the stand, until they saw how Binger was acting. This could have been a gamble to see if they could get the reaction they did. You can't set rules for when you'll hold or fold in a poker game until you're in the middle of it.

The Judge is acting on the basis of avoiding appealable actions. If he puts the prosecution in jail for contempt and the prosecution essentially refuses to fall into line then he would *have* to declare a mistrial wherein the prejudice of said mistrial would be an appealable issue.

In a lot of states, you cannot use a .223 as a hunting round for deer sized game and larger due to the lack of a humane kill. It was essentially developed from a varmint round (the .222 'triple deuce' cartridge) that people used to kill gophers, prairie dogs, etc. From that, it was lengthened a bit to hold more powder so it became a compromise round from the original varmint round and the .222 Remington Magnum which is now essentially defunct.

The whole cartridge game for the military comes down to factors having little to do with the efficiency of the cartridge.
The .223 was viewed only as a personal protection round when the idea was that war would be a nuclear event--something like an upgrades .30 Carbine. Even in WWI and WWII, bombs, artillery, mortar rounds, and machine guns were the primary cause of death, not personal firearms. Haven't seen that extended to Korea or Vietnam but my unscientific guess is that it is likely to be true even there. So, if a good enough cartridge exists, then the military is concerned with other factors--availability, training, logistics, wear and tear on rifles, costs, their retired buddies at defense contractors, etc. That being said, the 6.8 SPC, 6.5 Grendel, and at short ranges, the .300 Blackout do pretty well as an upgrade to the .223 if you are trying to stuff the cartridge into an AR spec receiver. At distance, using a larger receiver, the .308 and its derivatives work pretty well as do some of the new 6 to 7 mm cartridge work. 6mm ARC, 6.5 Creedmoor, some of the 7mm short fat rounds, etc. Posted by: whig at November 10, 2021 02:55 PM (9hXN1) 404

Overpowered in a war setting? is that even possible?
Posted by: Romeo13 __ When you go into fully automatic fire, the 308 was almost impossible for even a strong soldier to control. Much easier to lay down automatic fire with 5.56 and keep it controlled. Also, the ability to carry almost twice the ammo and larger magazines by using a smaller, lighter bullet is a huge advantage. It made sense to go with something smaller, they just overdid it on some bad assumptions. Posted by: Blago at November 10, 2021 02:55 PM (/bgEW) 409

Posted by: Romeo13 at November 10, 2021 02:47 PM (oHd/0) I'm not sure how true it is, but I've read that one of the reasons that the .223 was adopted was because it's more likely to cause debilitating injuries than fatalities. This wasn't a humanitarian thing, of course - it's to put more stress on the enemy's supply lines by forcing them to evacuate their wounded, provide medical care, etc. It's at least plausible. Modern warfare is extremely dependent on logistics. Posted by: Cato, Post-Apocalyptic Scourge of the Seas at November 10, 2021 02:56 PM (Msrhc) 413

408 Romeo13, part of the problem with the M14 was that it was uncontrollable in full auto. It was a derivative design of the Garand and the Garand was never designed for full auto fire.
The FAL is controllable with 7.62 Nato and I presume the G3/Cetme used by the Germans and Spanish was as well. But they were modern designs and not invented at Springfield Armory. Dunno about the AR-10 but the FAL and AR-10 at trials did better than the m14 so the Ordnance guys kept inventing reasons why these rifles would not do. Which is why we got the AR-15/M-16 in part because of General Curtis LeMay who needed a replacement for old M1 and M2 Carbines used to secure the safety of airfields.

I'm not sure how true it is, but I've read that one of the reasons that the .223 was adopted was because it's more likely to cause debilitating injuries than fatalities.

429 rick223b, You can still buy semi auto BARs made from parts kits but the full auto/select fire is rather pricey today. It was developed for the idea of walking fire support for WWI and is a bit heavy to tote nowadays and was originally designed around the longer .30-06 cartridge.

Sorry this is getting tedious. Littlefinger wants to establish that when Kyle was told BY ANTIFA to stay off the streets, and did not stay off the streets, he provoked them, and thus justified the attack by Rosenbaum. This is an upside-down world-- Rittenhouse is on trial for being an illegal vigilante, but Littlefinger insists that the orders of antifa street vigilantes MUST BE REPECTED AS THE LAWFUL ORDERS OF THE STATE. Littlefinger is doing the "A Few Good Men" thing. He's claiming that because Kyle said there was "no friction" with the crowd, there was no reason to carry the AR-15 to render medical aid. The real answer is: There's no such thing as perfect safety; people carry guns when they have no particular reason to fear danger. Also, what would he do with the gun? Leave it on the street? But Kyle isn't saying that. So this stupid gotcha is semi-effective, at least for Karen. Posted by: ace at November 10, 2021 03:06 PM (0G13K) 500

@439: "Wow - he is actually going on and attacking him for having the nerve to try and put out a fire."
I witnessed more than a few dumpster fires here in Minneapolis during these last two years. The only time I've seen someone put out a fire was when a mythically large black guy -- who'd been protecting a salon just fifty feet away -- finally went out there with a fire extinguisher, said nothing, put it out, started walking back, and stopped when they started booing, turned around again, and stared everyone down. It's absurd to suggest that people shouldn't be afraid so long as they're a "good guy" like a protestor friendly medic. Just being there is danger enough. Everyone is danger of a beat down whenever things so sideways as they often do. Posted by: Walter Freeman at November 10, 2021 03:07 PM (+WWsf) 509

I'm pretty sure the major factors were. It's light and small so you can carry a ton of ammo without running out of room or getting weighed down. It's good to 300yards without elevating. You can shoot it all day long without shoulder fatigue. The fact that it more likely wounds than kills probably didn't even tip the scales after those three.

I was just there last Thursday after my left vitreous suddenly detached while I was sitting right here. Thankfully, it didn't tear or detach my retina. So I'm extremely grateful for that. Now I just have to live with the floaters, wiggly lines, flashes and shadows. I keep thinking someone or something is creeping up on my left side, which is unsettling. But I can live with it.

Little Binger obviously does not understand why anyone would want to defend themselves.
Binger knows what he is doing. He's spotted one or more Upper Midwest WASPs on that jury - who will insist that "somebody" must be punished for that night, and Rittenhouse is right there. Binger - if he can't get a mistrial - is at least going for a hung jury. Rittenhouse is going go get to do this all over again in a few months.

I'm pretty sure the major factors were. It's light and small so you can carry a ton of ammo without running out of room or getting weighed down. It's good to 300yards without elevating. You can shoot it all day long without shoulder fatigue. The fact that it more likely wounds than kills probably didn't even tip the scales after those three. Posted by: mikethemoose at November 10, 2021 03:07 PM (T/vhV) Remember that the vast majority of rounds an infantryman fires in an engagement aren't aimed directly at an enemy, something like 70-80%. They're fired as suppressing fire, just to keep the enemy's head down so you can bring in the real killers: high explosives. So the only thing that really matters for most of your shots is that the bullet be supersonic, to produce that crack overhead. And a smaller/lighter round means that you can produce a lot more suppressing fire per pound of ammo. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at November 10, 2021 03:16 PM (n+4am) 579

545 Tami, I am not going to put too fine a point on it but each state has its own legal culture. In some states, you can object to your heart's content; in others, it will earn you the stink eye of the judge as they want to keep the trial moving. Then, you have differences even in state and between different judges. Part of the challenge for trial attorneys is that they have to be able to read people--the jury, the judge, and witnesses, in almost real time as to where to draw the line.
For example, you never object to relevance unless you don't care about the questions and the jury won't either. If you do so, then you open the door to let the other attorney essentially preach to the jury about why the defendant's preference for one type of bullet over another matters. A good defense attorney will often appeared bored until the line of questioning drags to a halt by either another minor objection such as facts not in evidence, improper form of question--attorney is testifying, and so on.

The basics of Littlefinger's line of questioning is that Kyle knew the crowd was hostile and so going on the streets shows his recklessness and willfulness in Defying Antifa's Martial Law.

Posted by: mikethemoose at November 10, 2021 03:07 PM (T/vhV) I believe that there was contemporaneous info that the 55 grain bullet, at the velocity generated in the full size M16 barrel would result in the bullet yawing in soft-tissue and many times breaking up, thereby creating a more lethal wound than a simple FMJ that stayed intact and simply passed through. It meant the Geneva convention requirement for non-expanding bullets, but clearly not necessarily the intent to avoid overly inhumane injuries, as asinine as that is for warfare.

Regarding closing statements, every attorney worth their salt has draft closing statements with boilerplate. Stupid ones use a preset closing statement to then try to force the trial evidence into that frame during direct and cross.
The wise ones take good notes and work in specific testimony and demonstratives to illustrate key points and which witness made them into their closing and then weave their theme into the closing using these key points of actual testimony to make a continuous narrative.

I'd guess the defense lawyers prepped Kyle to expect few objections since that might be seen as weakness by jurors, and it was important that he stand on his own two feet during testimony.
Unfortunately, that also puts them into a weird corner of not wanting to object when appropriate 'cause it might rattle Kyle as a loss of confidence by his attorneys. Posted by: Walter Freeman at November 10, 2021 03:24 PM (+WWsf) 627

not sure why the defense thought this was a good idea
--------------- I'm not sure why it was a bad idea. I'm with Whig. None of us are in the court room. We cannot see the jury. Maybe the jury is getting very bored with this and the defense atty knows this is working against the DA. We simply do not have all the information. At this point, I think the best you can say, is that Kyle taking the stand has not appeared to harm in any way, and he has held up quite nicely, and hopefully taken away from the jury that since he didn't testify he must be guilty. Now they may still think him guilty, but it won't be because he didn't testify. Posted by: SH (Overturn Roe) at November 10, 2021 03:39 PM (sX1BW) 719
Again, his theory, and what he will likely close with, is Kyle didn't need to be there. In fact there were moments in time when he could have left, he didn't. He was only there for fame by showing up with a gun knowing he couldn't use it to defend property, so he only brought it to use against someone.
Posted by: SH The only problem with that approach is that it is contrary to Wisconsin case and statutory law involving stand your ground--it is simply playing to emotion rather than the actual instructions that the judge is giving the jury. Branca has the four elements that the prosecution has to meet to disprove self defense--none on them involve having a firearm on hand for self defense.

713 Karen is probably going to get a beat down in that jury room if she ignores the facts. There is almost always a 'jerk' in deliberations but often that jerk gets schooled and since Karens are usually sensitive to being the outgroup are far more likely to give up.
A SOB on the other hand is onry on purpose because they do not care about what others think. That is the guy or woman you want on the jury if you are going for a mistrial as defense--prosecutors rarely want them on a jury because they are unpredictable.

Probably the difficult part for us as layman viewers watching a video looking at just the defense/prosecution and witness. We can't see/read the other team, the judge or the jury. And we get agitated when it goes off into the weeds instead of staying snappy and on script like a Perry Mason episode.
Posted by: clutch cargo One of the more horrifying situations is when you have an interest in the case and you can see an attorney for your side going off the rails. It is like a horror movie or a bad accident where you want to scream NOOOOOOO but you cannot speak to stop what is going to happen. Judges see it often and depending on experience will know the precursors to an attorney going off the rails. A kind one might stop them in the interest of justice. A stern one lets the attorney make a fool of themselves. Posted by: whig at November 10, 2021 03:53 PM (9hXN1) 798

Posted by: Sjg at November 10, 2021 03:44 PM (gDSJf) Last time I was sued my attorney said basically the same thing. Told me he wanted the jury to like him and know that he respected their time. The plaintiff's attorney literally put the judge to sleep (bailiff had to go over an nudge him awake). Throughout the proceedings my attorney would get up, ask a few pertinent questions, then sit down. Jury came back in my favor within 35 minutes.

Posted by: IllTemperedCur at November 10, 2021 02:39 PM (n+4am)" No offense meant but this is the sort of thing people talk about when they're not really familiar with the process of whacking people. It doesn't matter if someone can draw or not if they're nailed with a rifle from 3 blocks away. There is no realistic way he can defend himself that doesn't include living in hiding. And for a functional society - there is no way to preserve the peace other than to throw the book at anyone who makes an attempt on him. If the powers that be aren't willing to do their job, then your society doesn't include them and who is right doesn't matter - only who is left.

776 Yeah, No. Karens usually fold under pressure in my experience especially with someone that has a cool, calm demeanor while shoving the rhetorical shiv in. They gape and look around for support, finding none, they surrender. In a way, Karens are actually like AuntyFa--they fume and splutter when corrected but since their actual position has not logic, they are pretty easily outflanked.

I always am amused when a poster resorts to that guy is a big poopy head--that means that logic is beyond them. Same for doomer posts including the latest iteration of Whats My Nic this week.
The defense attorneys are doing what they think is necessary in the courtroom and letting the ADA bore the jury to death. At this point, I think that a mistrial is about the best outcome the prosecution can get. The only concern for me right now is the gun charge--the law is vague enough that the jury could unite to punish him on that. I think the provocation approach in WI law to overcome self defense is dying by inches in the courtroom with every breath that ADA is uttering.

@833: "Is that what is being claimed?"
Yes, interpolation, and that can mean two different things in this context. Pixel interpolation is adding new pixels "in-between" the original pixels and doing some calculations that adjust color, brightness, sharpness, etc. It makes the larger image looker somehow more clear but more blurry at the same time, and it does introduce "new (data) information" in image. Frame interpolation is like the "video smoothing" that newer HDTVs do when presenting older 24 frame per second films on a 60 frame per second screens. Same thing is true in terms of adding new data in the video stream. Posted by: Walter Freeman at November 10, 2021 04:07 PM (+WWsf) 867
Binger just asked for an adjounment of the trial because he's pissed about his video not being shown to the jury. It's clear now this is what he's really been aiming at all day.

When you zoom in on an image on your iPhone, part of the way apple is able to do this is because it is using AI to create pixels that it believes would be there if you had a higher resolution.
Is that what is being claimed? Posted by: SH (Overturn Roe) at November 10, 2021 04:02 PM (sX1BW) Yes that is what is being claimed. Though I think that overstates the case. Artificial intelligence? Eh. Algorithm? More correct. When "enhancing" raw video the computer - which is technically artificial intelligence - has to decide what the pixel "should" look like v what it does look like.

631 I dislike internet commentators on cases as they make themselves out as heroes of the courtroom when the key is the jury and the judge. Stupid speculative questions that a witness can handle, then no objection is needed except occasionally to remind the jury that you are still there.
Posted by: whig at November 10, 2021 03:26 PM (9hXN1) I believe that the objection that Richards just made proves this statement. The internet commenters at Rekieta said that while they don't agree with the strategy, the defense is reading the room better than the prosecution and it's a valid strategy.

The raw image itself may not resemble anything recognizable. A friend of mine specializes in MRI research. She showed me an image that is generated *before* it goes through a slew of Fourier transform processes to generate the crisp MRI images we all know and love. It's completely unrecognizable as anything human. It has to be heavily processed to show us something we can recognize and use.

862 It gets complicated as digital has almost replaced analog as recording devices.
You have to demonstrate chain of custody first to disprove outside editing. Then you have to have someone explain the algorithm etc which generally calls for an expert witness. Then the opposing party can call their own expert and get time to actually study the evidence or a copy of it for signs of editing, artifacts (unintentional noise in the digital whatever), and so on. Complicated stuff. Orin Kerr is one of the Volokh Conspiracy law profs that blogs on technical issues and the law.

To be clear, iPhones, even in basic "pinch and zoom" and "slow motion playback" modes, do way more brute force mathematical calculations than most people could realize or understand. It doesn't mean that any of that upscaling and smoothing is inherently nefarious, and one could argue that it can't be abused without reprogramming an iPhone on a deeper OS level, but it's not fair to say there's "nothing to see" here.

The party introducing evidence normally has the burden to prove it's authentic/reliable. The prosecutor should know this.

___________ Yep, and that's the problem. Those "bi-predictive" frames often don't "predict" correctly, so you end up with distortions in the enhanced video. And even small distortions can be very misleading. The judge is right not to let it be shown unless the state can produce a computer expert who can testify that there is no distortion.

Why isn't the defense counsel objecting when the prosecutor is literally testifying about what Rosenbaum was thinking when he's lunging at Kyle?
"He grabbed for your gun because he was trying to push it away from you!" AYFKM? The prosecutor wasn't there, but he can somehow read Rosenbaum's mind? Rosenbaum was a literal lunatic. He'd just been released from the mental hospital that afternoon. He had threatened to kill Kyle. He had begged others to shoot him. Nobody knows what that lunatic was thinking. Kyle had to respond to what he was doing -- and what he was doing was grabbing for Kyle's gun. Posted by: TrivialPursuer--F*ck Joe Biden at November 10, 2021 04:48 PM (k4dH2) 943
Looks like the DA went for the old "The Verdict" dum dum - introduction of the Xerox copy of the admittance sheet!
But even that movie pointed out correctly that evidence presented unknown to the defense or prosecution must be verified as authentic prior to admittance.... Posted by: Boswell at November 10, 2021 05:38 PM (5iUNf) 944
