Yup, the judge is running the show.......he's going to set this killer free.

1. I have never seen anything like this. nt

[eyeofnewt]

14. Hard to believe

Stunning

“Don’t get brazen with me!”

And the lawyer has to just take that crap

[agingdem]

16. and then the prosecution files an appeal...judicial misconduct..retrial

the appeal will more than likely be granted but this can take years unless it's expedited (what are the odds of that happening???)...and that little sonofabitch lives large on donations from the likes of Ricky Schroder...

[yardwork]

19. Is that possible with an acquittal? I thought it wasn't.

The judge can be investigated for judicial misconduct, but I don't think that a defendant can be retried after an acquittal. But I'm not a law expert.

[agingdem]

22. not for the same charges but here's hoping the

prosecution gleans enough new info to eventually get that little creep back in court...

[sarisataka]

21. Prosecution doesn't get to appeal

See: Fifth Amendment

[agingdem]

24. true but if they can get the kid on a new charge

they can get a new trial...maybe...right now I want the judge to resign..

[sarisataka]

29. They should be able to try him

On illegal possession of a firearm charge but it would be a slap on the wrist by comparison. If he gets free here on the shootings that is over, self-defense free to go.

The families could go to civil court for wrongful death.

[jmowreader]

50. Could they take him into court on federal charges?

The gun he had came to him via a straw purchase, and then there’s hate crime laws that could probably fit since it wouldn’t be hard to argue he was there to try to kill black people.

[sarisataka]

51. I'm not sure on the Federal charges

There have been cases where a cop shot someone and was charged with civil rights violations but I can't recall it happening to a private citizen.

A straw purchase charge can be brought against the person who bought the rifle. There should also be charges for providing it to a minor.

It can be argued that he was there because of black people but since everyone shot was white I really don't see a hate crime charge going very far. Especially if he is found not guilty in this trial.

[Scottie Mom]

37. I have two words for you: MANUEL REAL

https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/08/02/mathews-nations-longest-serving-judge-was-a-tyrant-in-the-court/

There is no judge in this world that can or will ever compare with the level of tyranny in the courtroom of Judge Real.

While the Kyle Rittenhouse judge is bad, IMO, he does not hold a candle to Judge Real.

[a kennedy]

2. Yup..........he'll have a stroke, running the show.....

🤬 🤬 🤬

[Tommy Carcetti]

3. Oy, this judge. nt

[Beachnutt]

4. judge is biased as hell

[onecaliberal]

5. The country will explode.

We cannot accept this.

[JohnSJ]

10. No it won't.

[BlackSkimmer]

17. Doubt it.

Unless in celebration. The assholes think he’s a hero.

[onecaliberal]

27. The asshole are NOT a majority.

We cannot allow these people to pick off Black and brown people whenever they feel like it. I’m so fucking tired of this attitude.

[Hav]

39. Is that what happened in this case?

Picking off black and brown people?

[Solomon]

40. No, but that's what's happening literally everywhere.

[onecaliberal]

43. Is it what happened?

Proud boy hunting. And spare me the victims were white bullshit.

[jimfields33]

6. Evidence is all jury members concern themselves with

I was on a jury and the only discussion of the judge was the instructions provided. If prosecutors did their job then a guilty finding will happen. If they didn’t do there job then there will be an acquittal. That’s it.

[spooky3]

7. It's no substitute for conviction but can victims sue

the defendant civilly? With all the donor money slushing around, maybe that should be considered.

[Wounded Bear]

12. Short answer is "yes"....nt

[spooky3]

13. Thank you nt

[onecaliberal]

28. Yes, I believe so. Ron Goldman's family got a judgement against OJ

[fescuerescue]

41. Yes. But OJ had wealth and assets to attach

A judgement against Rittenhouse isn't worth the paper it's written on.

He can just file chapter 7.

Worst case is that is credit is damaged for a few years.

[onecaliberal]

44. You can file bankruptcy on a wrongful death judgement?

I assume if this worked, even OJ would have done it. If I recall the Goldman’s never got any of the money.

[fescuerescue]

45. yes. It's a civil judgement.

Not much different than if a credit card sues you for an unpaid balance.

The option was open to OJ too. He just didn't take it because for him, it would be a bad choice.

OJ had lots of assets and he wanted to keep them. Filing Chapter 7 gives the court control over your assets.

OJ still had some of them taken, but overall he remained wealthy.

Rittenhouse? He's an 18 year old kid. Old enough to be separate from his parents. Not old enough to have anything substantial.

I think the biggest thing OJ lost was the rights to his book. Goldman got that. He got a few other things too (I think his Heisman trophy)

[onecaliberal]

46. He did get the Heisman, but only after it was recovered from some shady stuff that

Ended up putting OJ behind bars.

[fescuerescue]

42. If Rittenhouse had money sure

But he doesn't.

If a civil judgment is found against him, he can just wipe it with a chapter 7 filing.

And the donations can be directed to a trust.

[world wide wally]

8. I think this judge attended William Barr seminars on defending the perps

[BlackSkimmer]

9. He's obviously biased.

You can see anger on his face and he’s supposed to be a fucking judge. Holy shit.

[Tetrachloride]

11. Kenosha is in a narrow area. Milwaukee on the north

Chicago on the south. Lake Michigan on the east. I-94 on the west.

The Racine Kenosha area could be shut down.

[xmas74]

15. Yep.

Kenosha is my hometown.

This is really bad news.

[Tetrachloride]

18. I see. i grew up 100 miles north northwest.

[xmas74]

20. It's my home and I miss it.

I was there in June. His stink hangs heavy all over Sheridan Rd right now.

[a kennedy]

32. Curious, what's the racial makeup of Kenosha?? Just saw a show about the moving and

burying of mostly African American prosperous communities for interstate and hi ways. Wondering if Kenosha was mostly white and off limits for such atrocities.

[Tetrachloride]

34. The area is rebuilding after Rust Belt deterioration.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenosha,_Wisconsin

i made a few deliveries in the area.

[Dawgman49]

23. As I posted before...

He will be acquitted and be the poster boy for right wing vigilantism….will be on tucker within a month

[LetMyPeopleVote]

25. I fear that you are correct

Link to tweet

[Calista241]

35. That's ridiculous.

You can't just ignore a judge's ruling like that, especially not when he told you just hours before that he hadn't changed his mind. Not unless you want to get ripped a new one.

[Johnny2X2X]

36. Judge didn't even know that it was the defense not the prosecution that filed that motion

And he denied the motion to the defense, not the prosecution.

[AverageOldGuy]

26. The little punk just broke down crying on the stand

The little punk just broke down, crying like a baby, on the stand.

He will walk, mark my words. Then he will be a hero to the rightwing thugs -- Proud Boys, III Percenters, Oath Keepers, and all the other ash and trash. After Rittenhouse is acquitted, it will be open season on peaceful demonstrators. Which is why I started four years ago carrying a concealed weapon along with pistols in all three of my vehicles along with a shotgun and AR-15 in the truck that I drive most of the time.

[a kennedy]

33. Didn't see one damn wet tear tho. Crying by acting on what his defense team worked with him on.

[dalton99a]

30. Nazi judge presiding over trial of Nazi murderer in Wississippi

It's a done deal

[Johnny2X2X]

31. Open season on protesters

This judge wants to make sure more protesters are killed, that's his agenda. He's a total shill for the defense, he's doing a better job than the defense of defending Rittenhouse.

Literally won't let the prosecution make any case.

[uponit7771]

38. JUDGE LITERALLY WENT ON ABOUT GUN AMMO !! I've not seen this ever

[Chille]

47. are we still thinking this is a Racial epithet?

all the people were and still are white

[budkin]

49. Yep this thing is OVER

That little killer is going to be "Free As Fuck."
