The Kyle Rittenhouse trial

Day 13

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.

Court resumed with both sides arguing over how many times the jury would be permitted to view each video. During the arguments Judge Schroeder brought up the motion to dismiss, primarily regarding the lesser quality drone video provided to the defense.

I will be posting videos of the arguments but the prosecution argued that it was the defense attorneys phone that made the file lesser quality and that it wasn’t done purposely.

There are huge arguments to be made against this.

The file was emailed to the defense. It is possible that whomever emailed the file chose to send a compressed version by not choosing [send original].

However this does not account for the file being renamed.

Everyone returned to the courtroom to argue about how many times the jury could watch videos. I believe this ended with the jury being permitted to view countless times. Court is adjourned again while they figure out how the jury will view the files.

Defense attorney Richards has rightfully objected to allowing the jury to view the files on the 4k tv in the courtroom. The 4k tv Will upscale content and add 4x or even more pixels to each video or image shown.

The motion for mistrial or dismissal was discussed again. Judge Schroeder alludes to wanting the rest of the process to play-out before hearing all of the arguments and making a decision. Previously he stated he wants people under oath and experts to explain the file difference.

The jury is now watching video evidence.

The manner in which video evidence was nonchalantly sent from person to person through different programs and applications is an absolute train wreck.

Surely the State of Wisconsin has laws pertaining to video evidence and proper procedures to follow to ensure file integrity.

The jury has been sent home for the evening and will return at 9:00 am CST.

I will be updating the thread later with video from todays happenings.
