I finished @LawCrimeDaily! Back into Wisconsin v. Kyle Rittenhouse.
@LawCrimeDaily The first thing of note: Rittenhouse's mother and sister are seated in the back of this photo.
@LawCrimeDaily (Over to defense)
Richards: Are you lying under oath today?
Balch: No, they just never asked those questions.
R: Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the FBI talks to you, they don't write out a statement for you, let you review it for accuracy and completeness, do they?
B: No.
@LawCrimeDaily After only three questions from Richards, Judge Schroeder calls for a break for the day.
@LawCrimeDaily Binger says tomorrow's testimony will likely be several "smaller witnesses." He plans to call Gaige Grosskreutz on Monday, as to not break up his testimony with the weekend. Binger also estimates he will be finished next Tuesday.
@LawCrimeDaily That's a wrap for Day Three of Wisconsin v. Kyle Rittenhouse. Make sure to follow @LawCrimeNetwork for gavel to gavel coverage of the trial. More live tweets to come tomorrow!

We're back from lunch in Wisconsin v. Kyle Rittenhouse. We're back to a discussion about Anthony Huber and his "peacefulness" characteristic.
The state says it will bring up a specific instance in Huber's past where he displayed "peacefulness." Kraus says this leads to the state's point that Huber was acting to "protect" others on the night of August 25, 2020.
Judge Schroeder is now reading the State of Wisconsin text to determine what is/is not acceptable for the prosecution to include evidence that the "victim was a characteristically peaceful person."
We're back! Judge Bruce Schroeder calls for the jury to re-enter in the case of Wisconsin v. Kyle Rittenhouse.
Also of (small) note: the past two days, court has had to break for lunch early, because a food delivery came earlier than expected. Today, Judge Schroeder hopes to avoid that by ordering Subway. We'll see.
Jason Lakowski is back on the stand to be questioned by Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger.
We're back.
Judge Schroeder: One of the jurors is inquiring about a pregnancy ... my inclination, unless there's an objection, is to excuse her.
The juror is excused upon her request.
Pressing update: Judge Schroeder has mentioned concern for missing his haircut appointment several times this week. He just confirmed he was able to get his hair cut!
It looks like we're back from lunch in Wisconsin v. Kyle Rittenhouse. Follow along with @LawCrimeNetwork's livestream:
@LawCrimeNetwork Reporter/videographer Richie McGinniss is back on the stand with direct questioning from Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger.
@LawCrimeNetwork McGinniss: I became extremely worried that, because I was behind Rosenbaum, I was going to be caught in whatever was going to happen.
Binger: Did you feel like you would be caught in the line of fire?
McGinniss: I did, and that's why I altered my trajectory.
@LawCrimeNetwork Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger continues his questioning of reporter/videographer Richie McGinniss.
@LawCrimeNetwork McGinniss is now detailing why he stopped recording part of his video the night of August 25, 2020. Who Richards previously called "Yellow Pants Man," was aggravated, and McGinniss says he used his judgement not to proceed with recording.
Judge Bruce Schroeder: We're back.
And so we begin Day Three of Wisconsin v. Kyle Rittenhouse.
We're beginning with the discussion about Juror 7. Judge Schroeder specifies that he travels "differently, because he uses that scooter." Juror 7 uses a motorized scooter to get around. He rides it in and out of the courtroom.
Judge says Juror 7 told a deputy a joke as he was leaving. It involved the shooting of Jacob Blake.
