As Kyle Rittenhouse trial nears end, judge’s decisions from the bench come under scrutiny

...Schroeder dismissed a charge for his alleged failure to comply with curfew. The judge said he agreed with defense attorneys that the prosecution had not entered sufficient evidence to prove that a curfew was in effect the night Rittenhouse killed the two men.


...As the trial began last week, Schroeder forbade the prosecution from calling the three men Rittenhouse shot “victims,” which the judge has long called a “loaded term.” He prefers “decedents” or “complaining witnesses.”


The judge prohibited the prosecution from entering evidence allegedly showing links between Rittenhouse and the Proud Boys, a White nationalist group. He also rejected the prosecution’s request to be allowed to tell the jury about a June 2020 incident when Rittenhouse allegedly attacked a woman, who at the time was in a fight with his sister.


A lover of history, Schroeder quotes the Bible, Shakespeare and Medieval judicial philosophy in his courtroom. He sometimes displays a dry sense of humor from the bench. During down time, he hosts a Jeopardy-like trivia game, applauding audience members who get the right answers.
