Because of potential riots. Chicago has cancelled police days off this weekend, cops are not happy about it.

We need to get this out of our system. We need a just acquittal, and we need some temper tantrum riots that'll set an example that imbecilic outrage is no longer an acceptable reason to destroy city blocks.

You mean the department that is understaffed due to their vaccine mandate?

The judge just ordered the jury out of the room and is ripping the prosecutor a new asshole.

This is one pissed-off judge.

The prosecutor is playing to leftist pop culture, and probably has political aspirations.
What are the chances that a "diverse" judge, one who wants everybody to know that their perspective is super important and that's what makes them a good judge, would have this same reaction against this flouting of the law by the prosecution?

Rittenhouse is being cross-examined at the moment.
I don't know what the rules are in Wisconsin, but I know a bit about Illinois.
In cross-examination, the questioner is not allowed to ask anything that the original questioner touched upon.
For example, under direct examination imagine the following sequence:
Counsel asks witness under direct examination: "Did you see Mr. Jones steal the purse?"
Under cross, the opposing counsel asks: "Mr. Jones also stole an automobile, is that correct?"
Counsel: "Objection, your honor!"
Judge: "Sustained."

It would shock me if he was convicted of anything but the misdemeanor.

The DA is making a case that there was no imminent threat to Rittenhouse's life when he fired his rifle.
A lot about "what the hell were you doing there anyway?"

The first shooting was the guy that grabbed his rifle, no?

I believe so.
But, according to the DA, that was not an imminent threat.

It was also the guy that twice threatened to kill him?

That would apply to the first degree murder charge, since the DA must prove intent.

One of the things that the DA tried to introduce into evidence was a photo of Rittenhouse at a bar in Wisconsin, with his friends.
He was wearing a sweatshirt that said, "Free as Fuck!"
Judge denied it, saying that what Rittenhouse did FOUR MONTHS AFTER the incident is irrelevant.
