That’s what the prosecution did in the Kyle Rittenhouse case. Four days into the trial a man who refused to be identified transferred a video file to a detective. Then Det Antaramian testified that he could see Rittenhouse aiming at Ziminski.
Then it’s off to the state crime lab to “enhance” the video. They of course did this while sharing a 4x lesser quality version with the defense team. Millions of pixels/details were added during the “enhancing” process. Later they further “enhanced” 4 still images from the video.
This evidence is the basis of their entire case. Without it they could not dream of getting a provocation instruction. Without it they could not attempt to prove their case.
They were doing so poorly presenting their case that the 4th day in, they miracled evidence into trial.
Detective Antaramian first learned about the drone video after the video was played during a segment on Fox News.
The twitter account @freekyleusa posted about the Fox clip months ago and in later posts questioned if the prosecution was withholding evidence (the original).
The @freekyleusa posts detailed that the video posted within hours of the shooting, was attributed to “UrbanAired” by Brandon Beamon, and that online information pertaining to both were scrubbed from the internet and the company dissolved. Why?
Court is expected to resume at 9:00 am CST when the jury will return to deliberations.
Yesterday the jury deliberated the entire day from roughly 9:00a-6:00p
@JackPosobiec reported yesterday that two jurors are holding up a verdict decision due to threats of violence.
The jury has requested to see video evidence. The attorneys and judge Schroeder are still working on specifics relating to how many times they can view each file. When they determine that the jury will view the evidence in the courtroom by themselves and likely the bailiff.
Judge Schroeder warned the prosecution of the danger of the inclusion of the doctored images.
Schroeder “..or which phone I’m going to buy… this is being used to decide if someone’s innocent or guilty of a crime…”
Schroeder “this is going to fall like a house of cards.”
This is one of the doctored images admitted into evidence. I use the word doctored bc the image was created using AI algorithms to insert pixels where pixels did not previously exist. This was done purposely push a false narrative that Rittenhouse aimed his rifle.
Do you believe that ADA Binger and Kraus would have published these doctored images or the accompanying doctored video if they actually displayed the actual truth? The truth that Kyle Rittenhouse didn’t aim his weapon at anyone prior to being attacked?
This morning we expect to hear Judge Schroeder give the jury instructions and hear closing statements from the prosecution and defense.
2.5 hours has been allotted to both sides for statements. The prosecution will split their time between their first and rebuttal arguments.
I would not be surprised if the motion to dismiss with extreme prejudice is mentioned this morning. Although at this time I wouldn’t expect Judge Schroeder to entertain the motion very long. In spite of noted prosecutorial misconduct.
Today we will likely hear more on the defense motion to dismiss with prejudice, which was brought up yesterday with the defense claiming prosecution misconduct.
See yesterday’s thread for detailed information.
Expected to testify today are Drew Hernandez and John Black.
Hernandez is an investigative reporter, host of Drew Hernandez Live, and was on the ground in Kenosha reporting on the riots.
Black is a use-of-force and forensic audio/video expert.
