Question now is who is going to represent Rittenhouse in the civil suits? Unlikely that both of the "victims" families will pass up on a possible payday. You never know with Huber and Rosenbaum though, maybe their families are secretly grateful to Rittenhouse. Grosskreutz would have a tough time su...

While we are on the subject of Creepy Joe, James Lindsay just released a video explaining the motivations behind corrupting child sexuality. Highly recommend it. Children confident in their identity are less malleable, so the objective is to confuse them. Much of what Lindsay says is sort of intuiti...

Why are you so invested in them being wrong? I don't believe I am. You admit you didn't watch them. I don't do long videos of people sitting in front of their zoom cameras working their gobs while I stare up their hairy nostrils. Give me a transcript. Bullet points. Something I can skim over second...

They have had very specific criticisms of Richards and , to a lesser extent, Chirafisi throughout the trial. If you wish to dismiss all of that by pretending that they are all motivated by some kind of personal animus then have at it. No, it's just real easy for them to armchair quarterback. I've n...

.... Which of your claims require the sample to be normally distributed? :roll: That heights and agreeableness - and many other such traits - are normally distributed in the general population? At least when the measurements are partitioned or grouped by "sex"? :think: :roll: That isn't a claim tha...

Not just my opinion, I'm watching 10 lawyers all agreeing that it was a terrible defence and if the factual evidence wasn't so strong KR would be in prison. IOW, pfew, they just got lucky. http://slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=560&p=506181&hilit=got+lucky#p506181 They have had very specifi...

How did I know you'd say that? LOL. Because it was obviously true? A lot always hinges on manpower, to scramble and look up stuff, track down stuff, go through the daily transcripts, etc. Disclosure is ripe for taking advantage of manpower disparity. My ex attorney GF worked on a huge case where th...

My final prediction.... hung jury. It is taking way to long to be a full acquittal. Judge's hate hung juries, and will lean pretty hard on a jury to avoid one. But pretty much everyone but him and the defense would love one at this point. Although an acquittal would give Joy Reid more material, and...

Not confident at all about closing arguments. There has been very little effort made to set the real background to the shootings, which is a vital aspect of the case. I don't know how many of you have heard Elijah Schaffer's description of the riots. I don't think I've heard any other sources descri...

They had effectively won the trial already and they only needed to avoid giving the prosecution any openings. The prosecution's case was essentially dead until the provocation angle breathed new life into it. The defence did not push hard enough to get the image evidence and most likely considerati...

I don't get the apologetics over this. The defence should have taken every opportunity to kill this trial but they took their boots off the prosecution's neck and now people are saying it's because they have a cunning strategy! Doesn't compute. https://youtu.be/3a6h7m3LKkE?t=259 How does the defens...

For anyone still unclear this explains the fallout from KR's testimony and the consequences of not properly nuking the blurry image and the prosecution's BS filled monologues about it. Richards's attitude seemed to be that it was irritating but didn't really matter. I don't get the apologetics over ...

Might seem trivial, considering it's a minor offense, but a lot of folks are hung up on: well if he wasn't allowed to have that gun, he somehow forfeited his right to self defense with it. Like Fegg observes, defense has not tipped its hand much on the thrust of its argument. In contrast, Binger ha...

Having difficulty getting the KR trial off my mind. The thought off a 17-year old spending decades behind bars for trying to stay alive offends me a lot. The politics of it is secondary, but almost as infuriating. Having just watched some of the Rekieta panel's Friday coverage I'm concerned that KR...

Judge said, is 90 minutes each good for closing arguments? Defense said, 90 tops. Binger said, I'll need three hours plus another 30 minutes for rebuttal. Judge gave both two and a half hours. By the time Binger is done droning, the jury will wish Kyle would shoot them . Sometimes, 'give 'em enough...

The euphoria after Grosskreutz's testimony has now disappeared. Even I could tell from the odd glimpse into the courtroom that the defence performance has been bad. They have been very remiss in the lack of objections, they bargained away expert testimony pre-trial in bad compromise and have now lef...

Crap! Sort of double post. I do hate wasting storage.

Viva's assessment... Binger is in big trouble and Kyle's testimony was solid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYLLxC0gdzg Probably Kyle's choice to testify, but it gave the jury an opportunity to make judgements which wouldn't otherwise have arisen. Perhaps his breakdown made him seem manipulative ...

As things stood the prosecution had failed to make any case so I really cannot understand why the defence would allow Binger the opportunity needle their client. To elicit empathy from the jury. At the end of the day, Kyle is a wide-eyed kid. Binger is a dickhead, a priss, and a pratt. Kraus is alt...

Hate apostrophes, They sneak into my sentences and place themselves where they aren't required.

This is painful. Rittenhouse is a bad witness. He's looking like a deer in the headlights right now. The defense may have fucked this up. We will see. Some talking heads are saying Kyle did really well. The prosecution may end up looking like they are badgering the kid. Also, some speculation of a ...

It would be dangerous to underestimate Binger here. He doesn't seem that phased by the rebukes which the jury aren't seeing. He's putting Rittenhouse on the back foot with many of his questions and it's making him look hesitant and slightly confused. If the jury are already predisposed to seeing Rit...

Now the judge is shouting at Fluffer!

Watching Rittenhouse testify. One thing that pundits were unanimous about was that Rittenhouse testifying is probably an unwarranted risk. Fluffer's cross is basically an attempt to negate the factual evidence by concentraitng on the motive for acquiring a gun and accusing him of intending to kill. ...

He does not dispute that the defense is winning the case on the facts. He is just warning that the result may depend on the extent to which the jury made up it's mind before the trial even began. Are you saying he is wrong to give that warning with the volume of lies that the media have been relayi...

Lots of laughing at the prosecution, people think it's all over, but Barnes warns that Binger is playing a game that might conceivably work. He's spent his time since the arrest poisoning the public perception of Rittenhouse. He is quite happy to concede that there was chaos in Kenosha because if t...

It's just natural to block out those lower down the hierarchy because they simply aren't relevant to your life.

Dunno whether fame turns you into a dick, or being a dick drives you to seek fame. Maybe a little of both.

Baldwin might really be in trouble. From what I've heard, Baldwin was practicing his gunplay for an extended shootout when he wasted HH. There was no need to have rounds of any type in the gun.

There are concerning signs from the defense team. Robert Barnes has been given the boot along with the jury selection experts and self-defence legal experts he drew in. Apparently this happened when the defense team were pressed to back up their assurances that the Rittenhouses controlled the defen...

In the Rittenhouse trial, the state is trying to spin the narrative that somehow Kyle was 'out looking for trouble' that day. Implying that, even if goons were trying to kill him, he thus had no right to defend himself. It's a desperate ploy from an exceptionally bad ADA, Binger, who the judge has ...

It would need a careful look. Do we have any specific examples to look at? $450k is hardly going to disincentivise people from coming.

My Alec Baldwin prediction (I don't really know any facts)... but Baldwin has a really bad temper. 1) Alec was upset that the filming was going poorly.

I'd appreciate a bit of clarity here if anyone has the knowledge and patience. Is a protocol binding in these hearings?
