First, here are the recent Twitter posts from the Chemistry and Biology Department of James Madison University. @Aqua-Letifer and @89th
BTW, you'd think a science department would care about empirical evidence and the pursuit of truth regardless of outcome.

Only if you don't understand what's going on. If this really is baffling to you, I'd recommend looking into the Evergreen College shitshow. It's got nothing to do with what departments teach. It's a mix of extremist activism, useful idiots, and coercion.

Trump says Rittenhouse visited him at Mar-a-Lago
(CNN)Former President Donald Trump said he was recently visited at his Palm Beach, Florida, resort by Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who was acquitted last week on all charges after fatally shooting two people and wounding a third during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer.
"He called. He wanted to know if he could come over, say hello, because he was a fan," Trump said during an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity that aired Tuesday night.
Trump said Rittenhouse, 18, had left Mar-a-Lago "a little while ago," and Hannity had earlier said that his interview with Trump took place on Monday. During the interview, Fox showed a picture of Rittenhouse posing with Trump.
"He came over with his mother. Really a nice young man. ... That was prosecutorial misconduct. He should have not have had to suffer through a trial for that. He was going to be dead," the former President said.

BTW, Wood is NOT his lawyer now. It looks like he might have been originally.
Ms. Rittenhouse claims on the podcast that two of #FightBack’s leaders—Wood and conservative firebrand John Pierce—latched onto her son’s case for their own personal reasons.
“They used Kyle to gain money, gain Twitter followers,” Ms. Rittenhouse told Law&Crime. “I felt now they didn’t care about Kyle.”
The mother has cut ties with #FightBack to start a new legal defense fund for her son under her control called FreeKyleUSA, and she claims that Wood and Pierce have ignored repeated requests to open up their books.
“He used my son’s image to make profit off of that. And I asked for an accounting of it. And I never got it. I was ignored,” Ms. Rittenhouse said of Wood in an interview with Law&Crime. “They used a 17-year-old kid’s image for their own political shit.”
“I asked Lin, where’s the money?” Ms. Rittenhouse recalled separately. “I wanted to see the books, like the accounting books.”
In an email, Wood denied receiving any request for an audit and said FightBack would be “perfectly willing to undergo any audit required by law.”

@larry said in The Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha:
There's no one who would have a legal standing to sue HIM civilly. The parents of those he shot would be the only ones with standing, but they lost that footing the moment their son made the decision to cause rittenhouse to need to defend himself.
Do parents of adults have standing to sue for wrongful death in Wisconsin?
No idea. But we have been talking about the Rittenhouse case, and "wrongful death" isn't involved.

You wrote "There's no one who would have a legal standing to sue HIM civilly. . The parents of those he shot would be the only ones with standing, "
I'm asking if they have standing. And standing implies some civil tort to sue - such as wrongful death. What other grounds might they civilly sue for?
You can't just assert that parents have no footing because their idiot kid put Kyle in a position to defend himself. As a matter of tort, harm has a lower standard of circumstance and intent than criminal offense. That's for the civil jury to determine.

A key witness for the prosecution in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial testified Tuesday that he was asked to change his statement by the prosecution team.
Nathan DeBruin was taking photographs of the events the night that Rittenhouse killed two protestors and injured another, according to WISN.
Prosecutor Thomas Binger asked DeBruin to identify a person in a picture, according to DeBruin’s testimony.
When DeBruin didn’t know who the person was, Binger allegedly identified the person as Joshua Zaminsky.
Binger then set the phone face down before showing the photo again to DeBruin. He then asked a second time to identify the person in the picture.
“I just felt, I didn’t want to change my statement,” DeBruin told the defense attorney.
After being asked by Binger to change his statement, DeBruin told the defense team he hired an attorney.
Prosecutor James Kraus then began cross-examining the witness about his statement to police on the night of the shooting.
“We asked if you knew anything beyond that statement,” Kraus asked.
“Correct,” DeBruin responded.
“We didn’t ask you to change it?” the prosecutor then asked.
“Yes, yes you did,” DeBruin told the prosecutor.

A key witness for the prosecution in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial testified Tuesday that he was asked to change his statement by the prosecution team.
I interviewed Nathan DeBruin, the Photochad from the Rittenhouse trial and he explained in more detail his rather shocking meeting with ADA Krause and ADA Binger leading up to the trial.
Is this prosecutorial misconduct? Is this witness tampering? Was Binger attempting to get a false statement from Nathan DeBruin for his trial against Kyle Rittenhouse or Joshua Ziminski?
Tough questions!

@george-k said in The Kyle Rittenhouse trial in Kenosha:
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.
Oh, it gets better...Ziminski was charged with arson by the DA and is awaiting trial. As such, he was unable to testify in the Rittenhouse trial. He was not charged with arson until this year. Ziminski has stated he fired a "warning shot" into the air, which would have been the first shot fired.

Joshua Ziminski, 38, and Kelly Ziminski, 32, each pleaded guilty to burglary and robbery with threat of force. Additional charges were dismissed as part of a plea deal and, in Joshua's case, all charges related to the 2020 unrest were dismissed.
Case details
According to a criminal complaint, Kenosha police spoke to a man during the early morning hours of Aug. 26, 2022 who said three people tried to rob him. The man said he knew one of the people, later identified as Kelly Ziminski. Joshua Ziminski was eventually identified as one of the other two.
The Ziminskis were previously charged in connection to 2020 Kenosha unrest that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake. In that case, Joshua was charged with arson and two misdemeanors, and Kelly was charged with two misdemeanors.
According to the criminal complaint, the Ziminskis "participated in protests and riots in downtown Kenosha" after the shooting. A review of cellphone video showed they tried to "block law enforcement vehicles that were clearing the area" south of 56th Street on Sheridan Road because of a curfew that was imposed at the time.
The complaint indicates Kelly took a video on her phone that showed Joshua "lighting a dumpster on fire." The video showed Joshua tossing a lit match into the dumpster and then asking people for lighter fluid to help the fire spread. Then, the video showed him pushing the dumpster onto Sheridan Road as police vehicles moved toward him. Kelly was seen in the video "adding flammable material to the fire to increase the flame."
Guilty of armed robbery, and the arson charge dropped.
Nice.

Kyle Rittenhouse, who became a darling of the right after he fatally shot protesters in 2020, says he’s not going to vote for Donald Trump. “A lot of people are upset that I said I’m going to be writing in Ron Paul for president of the United States, and that is true, I will be writing in Ron Paul,” the 21-year-old said in a clip posted on X hours after sharing a picture of him posing alongside the former Texas congressman.
Oops
Gun rights activist Kyle Rittenhouse apologized and reaffirmed his support for former President Donald Trump on Friday amid mounting pressure following his pledge that he would be writing in former Libertarian Texas Rep. Ron Paul in the 2024 presidential election over the former president
and
“Over the past 12 hours, I’ve had a series of productive conversations with members of the Trump’s team
Yeah right. LOL
