        Also, a major issue is the low-quality video proffered to the defense, when the state had the original hi-def video.

        Go full screen and look at the difference.

        Why didn't the state give the original video to the defense?

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    Ask your nearest progressive and they'll tell you that it's super important that our judges be "diverse", by which they mean the indoctrinated, reliable kind of "diverse". A judge who would definitely see this case very differently from this judge.

                      And I predict that if the jury comes in with even one guilty verdict, the judge will interview every jurist (probably in chambers) to see if one or more of them felt intimidated to reach the verdict they did, either by the activities outside the courtroom or of their fear as to what could happen in their community if they returned a not guilty verdict, he will declare a mistrial with prejudice.

                            Stupid question, but wouldn’t a mistrial at this point be bad for Kyle? Seems the not guilty verdict is imminent.

                              Hung jury is bad for him because they re-try him.

                              Seems just as likely as acquittal given 3 days of deliberation

                                My understanding is that a key point is determining if he provoked the first person who came at him. Supposedly under Wisconsin law if the attack were unprovoked, his use of deadly force to protect himself could be justified. On the other hand, if he taunted or did something to provoke an attack, then he's on the hook for the shooting. The fact that the jury was closely examining the video to determine if he provoked the assault says they're focusing on a significant component of the evidence.

                                Most of us do some pretty stupid or at least ill-advised things in our teens. This kid is really paying for it.

                                    Also, regarding provocation:

                                    The FIRST person to attack Rittenhouse was the "Ziminskies" (sp?). He heard gunshots coming from them, and BInger plans to prosecute them. When he started to run from the sound of gunshots, Rosenbaum chased him and threw something at him. When cornered at the car dealership, he shot Rosenbaum, killing him.

                                    Interestingly (?) the state's evidence of that has cropped the Ziminskies out of the video.

                                    That's prosecutorial misconduct, because it gets rid of the reason for Rittenhouse having the state of mind in which he was at the time.

                                        Joe Concha just said that the MSNBC producer has deleted her (his?) social media accounts.

                                        I'm not saying that there's any guilt there, but maybe there's some feeling of guilt there?

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
