His desperation is obvious. Let's just hope the jury isn't full of Rex's. I hope a mistrial with prejudice is declared.
This judge is a typical rightwing dumbass. Zooming an image is "altering" it? He won't allow the prosecutors a zoomed image but allowed it for the defense. The judge's phone went off during the trial and guess what his ringtone is? "God Bless the USA", the theme song at trump's rallies. He wouldn't allow Rittenhouse's victims to be called "victims" in court, even though a person can be a victim of an entirely innocent event. Gee, wonder what side the judge is on.
I think it SHOULD be a mistrial, but not with prejudice. The prosecutors have broken rules a couple of times. Try this again, this time with an impartial judge.
""I brought the gun for my protection, but I didn't think I would need it for my protection." Wow. What does that tell a juror except that he bought it for malice? And knowing that he was fucking up, Rittenhouse starts breaking down. The sympathetic judge, of course, grants a recess.
