Rittenhouse Trial

Only a dozen?
Are you referring to the 12 jurors?
Yup.

The destruction of modern Western beliefs is based almost entirely on one tool. Emotion.

Communism? Emotion. Unions? Emotion. Condoning Crime and Sexual Perversion? Emotion.

Influencing a Jury to convict a young man who is EXCEEDINGLY far from having committed murder? Emotion.

I got a feeling that jury are the type of people who side with the people who burned their town up. If they feel Kyle pointed his rifle at anyone they must want to convict. It seemed pretty clear cut that Kyle was attacked in the three altercations before firing his weapon if you believe in self defense.
 
Someone should send this to that fucking jury...

The Basic Laws Of Human Stupidity" by Carlo M. Cipolia and he pretty well nails it.

1. Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
2. The probability that a certain person is stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

If the defense's discovery requests asked for the electronically stored information (ESI) to be produced in native format, and the prosecution did not object to those discovery requests and the prosecution produced ESI in discovery that was not in native format, then that doesn't sound like operating in good faith to me

Exactly

I hope they don't turn out to be STUPID but I am generally disappointed
 
why would they not ask for mistrial with prejudice????

They did, that's what they were discussing in court. They have gone through the first 4 reasons the defense is asking for a mistrial with prejudice. Seems like this will go on as long as the jury is in deliberations. The defense really wanted to know if today's activity addressed point #5 and the judge said it didn't. So I'm guessing that there's gotta be at least 1 point where the judge COULD act in the defense's behalf.
 
Yeah....I'm pretty sure now that I look again, at no point have they insinuated they sought a mistrial without prejudice.

See what happens when you don't pay attention?

Got me.
Hope the jury don't fall for a simple misunderstanding.

thx for the clarification
 
The WITH prejudice request is still on the judges desk. He has not ruled on it AFAIK. That means its the earliest unruled motion and would come into play.

Could it be the Judge's strategy to see if the Jury comes back with a guilty verdict on any or all of the charges then issue a ruling of a mistrial with prejudice?

If that's the case, then it confirms my opinion that Judges are some of the dumbest life forms on the face of the earth.

He should have ruled on the defense motion BEFORE deliberations.

Is this still live somewhere?. My cable is playing the Arbery's trial.
 
I think the recent Defense motion was filed before the jury went out. With everything that had happened during the trial I see the Judge letting the State have as much rope as they want/needed. The Defense never made any official motions to any of those prior situations. This situation now with the video has been the final straw for the Defense. Which COULD be as bad as waiting to the end, part of a "backup plan" for a retrial IF there was a conviction, or just their best chance NOW to get the trial thrown out.

Watching the last half hour or so I am coming to the conclusion that this is his strategy. I admittingly have not watched the whole thing but the way he kept hesitating in saying how far out of line the Prosecution was on multiple occasions and ending with we will see what the jury does makes me think this is exactly what he's doing.

I believe this makes him smart not dumb, the legal system does not like when judges take things out of the hands of the jury and doing so is a quick way to get overturned on appeal which judges hate. If the jury comes back not guilty on all charges then it doesn't matter what prosecution did. (I think it should lead to disciplinary action, but it doesn't matter for Kyle) If the jury comes back guilty then he has reserved the right to pull the nuclear option and take his chances on appeal.

He probably wants a hung jury followed by a Mistrial with Prejudice.
 
Jury coming back in to watch whatever videos they were asking about seeing again.

It dont work that way as far as I know.

I am 99.9% sure once the judge gets the jury verdict he has to read it in court. Up until that moment there are other options, but once he gets the paper in his hand thats the way it goes.
