18. Yes, he does it in all of his trials.

This joins the other billion things in this case that fall under the category of, "Information readily known if people would have simply attempted to seek it out." It gets repeated and repeated, then answered and answered, and then repeated again no matter how many times it is corrected.

He makes it a regular practice for people not to be referred as "victims" in self-defense cases, because he believes the term is prejudicial against defendants. He has done it many, many times. It was not Rittenhouse specific.

Do you see why I think people should be pissed at the media here? They made a huge deal out of something that was common practice with him. They actively misinformed you. You should be furious at them instead of the judge. Getting people all riled up at the judge was the object of the exercise.

At this juncture, I'd say it worked a peach.
