Thanks for the info. It looked like Rosenbaum chased him for like 10 seconds while Rittenhouse was running away, threw something at him, and they're going to argue that in the last single second before the shooting he possibly raised his rifle in a grainy video where the question of pixels is an issue? That seems weak but I guess the prosecution needs something.

> That seems weak but I guess the prosecution needs something. From what I've read, the prosecution has been pretty weak. Their witness are often helping the defense at least as much as they're helping the prosecution, and the judge got angry with them the other day for likely deliberately going somewhere they weren't allowed to go. https://apnews.com/article/kyle-rittenhouse-trial-judge-directed-verdict-788879e4deb6d4639adab573ee3ff753 https://apnews.com/article/kyle-rittenhouse-trial-judge-dire...

  They are lying by omission. It was WAY more than that. The prosecutor was saying that Rittenhouse must be guilty because he chose not to speak before the trial. That is an egregious violation. Judge wants a clear jury verdict due to the politicization of the case. In any other circumstances, I'd bet heavily that a mistrial with prejudice would be immediate. I'm guessing there's a non-zero chance that the prosecutor gets officially censured for this case. Between that and the testimony about coercing the witness and interfering with the detective, there's a lot of wrong stuff going on here.

Not only that, but he would have to holding the rifle left-handed here, but right-handed both before and after. Defense didn't catch this though. Maybe the'll mention it in closing arguments.
