Defense calls for mistrial as Kyle Rittenhouse takes the stand in his homicide trial npr.org/2021/11/10/105…
My weakness is crime fiction and years of reading some of the finest exponents of court room trial dramas and police investigations such as those of @ScottTurow and @Connellybooks have left me more prepared than the average citizen at understanding the nuances of ...
... what happens in criminal trials. The tactics of the Deputy AG Thomas Binger today suggest both desperation and frustration. If you had the defendant on the stand for pretty much the whole day and got nothing of substance ...
... and came close twice to the Judge basically being done with you, it is clear you are trying to trigger some outburst from the Judge that can be used as grounds for appeal when the Jury almost certainly acquits Rittenhouse.
There simply is no case here. That is why these stunts by the prosecutor. Who knew that hours wasted on these crime novels would payoff in my understanding more about this trial than 99% of the people covering or watching it 😀
