The defense just called Black, a self-defense and use of force expert. It is a wise choice.Keep in mind that Wisconsin has a very favorable self-defense standard for the defense. Once Rittenhouse claims that he acted to repel an attack, they have the burden to disprove that claim
...Black can reinforce Rittenhouse's subjective testimony with objective standards that apply to law enforcement and private citizens in the use of force.
...Frankly, the prosecutors must feel like they are feverishly moving around the deck chairs on the Titanic. This prosecution began to sink when it collided with its first key witness who contradicted their theory of the case.
...There is a break as prosecutors object to Black videography evidence. I am surprised that the prosecution waited to object to the testimony in front of the jury. It can make the jurors wonder why the prosecutors do not want them to see the evidence...
...it is always better to raise such objections before the testimony or outside of the jury. The prosecution is raising a notice objection that the testimony is beyond the scope.
