I have no opinion on Rittenhouse, but I watched his trial as a non-American for the show. It was mind-boggling, to me, the argument on the iPad zooming feature

I have no opinion on Rittenhouse, but I watched his trial as a non-American for the show. It was mind-boggling, to me, the argument on the iPad zooming feature[1]. This was three people — with no technical knowledge at all — arguing about a technology which, ultimately, could influence the rest of the life of a fourth person… How often does this happen and is not recorded by a camera?!

Especially the "I have no idea what I'm talking about, but you should take my argument seriously anyway" that the defense started with in that video. The prosecution should have eviscerated that argument.

Having spent many years in court, this shit happens all the time. Experts will testify to some incredible bullshit, and even in the face of objections by the defense, the judge will often be technically bamboozled and allow the bullshit to stand. Almost all lawyers and judges that I've met have no computer expertise.
