In reply to the discussion: Rittenhouse Trial [View all]Sympthsical
(11,347 posts)He handed the prosecution victory after victory leading into jury deliberation. Two days ago, I would've said Rittenhouse walks on almost everything. Now I'm not so sure. And that's because of the vast room to maneuver the judge granted the prosecution.
Almost all of the stuff about the judge is sourced to tweets or media posts capturing some moment out of the entire trial and blowing it up, ignoring the number of times he has aided the prosecution.
The man is an absolute trip. There's no doubt about it. When he made that comment about Asian food, I laughed incredulously and said aloud to the TV, "He just said that. Out loud." I know he was making a joke, but I could hear a million Twitter users hit their keyboards the second it was said.
But Rittenhouse will walk because of him? He's biased?
I just don't understand what trial people are watching here. You can't watch something by tweet, which seems like what a lot of people are doing.
