    So.
    If that is the case--Then, the charge will be dropped.

    SCOTUS has already ruled that if a criminal law is vague, the court must rule for the defendant. It's also not in clear language that the average person can understand according to the judge. He compared it to the time that Emperor Caligula posted new laws at the top of a high pillar where nobody could read them.

    The judge may decide to dismiss that charge tomorrow.

    I don't need to. It's obvious that it was a politically-motivated choice.

    The same as choosing to prosecute Kyle Rittenhouse for a similar gun crime was politically-motivated.

    Did the prosecution even prove the length of the barrel? Doesn't the law say something akin to: no one under 18 can carry a firearm of a certain barrel length or less? How can the prosecution ask the jury to consider this offense, when the jury never even heard the barrel length? Maybe I'm wrong and it was slipped in somewhere...

    Ziminski actually fired the first shot and was charged disorderly conduct: use of a dangerous weapon. The prosecutor dropped that charge because it would hurt his case against Kyle. More proof that ADA Binger is not interested in justice, he just wants to take Kyle as a political prisoner again.

    Gaige Grosskreutz also had unrelated charges against him dropped a few days before the trial, obviously in exchange for lying on the stand. One was an OVI and the other was a prowling charge he was arrested for when he was caught at night in the West Allis police station parking lot taking video of the police officers' private vehicles. Obviously he was on some sort of recon mission to facilitate future attacks on police officers.


    Binger is one corrupt futhermucker.

    Not only that, he also had two unrelated pending charges dropped just a few days before he testified. Then he got caught repeatedly lying on the stand. Obviously there was a crooked deal with the prosecutor. Charges dropped in exchange for lying on the stand.

    The prosecutor also declined to charge him for filing a false police report.

    No one can go into a gun store and buy a short barreled rifle unless the dealer is a class 3 dealer and the purchaser applies for a federal tax stamp. The rifle is a standard long barrel rifle sold in gun stores.

    He would probably get time served. I think the judge may even dismiss that charge.

    Even if he is convicted of that, he would certainly win on appeal.

    Well, IF he got "time served", that would still equate to a few months of time (even if it was previously served).

    Still, more than a "few days".

    Won’t get it for the weapons charge since it doesn’t apply.

    The thing is, all the corrupt prosecutor needs is one single TDS afflicted moron on the jury who saw on the TV news that Kyle was at a Trump rally, and that TDS afflicted moron will never vote not guilty on any of the charges, no matter what.

    All the defense needs is one single intelligent objective person on the jury who is brave enough to refuse to be intimidated by the LWNJ mob, and they will never vote guilty on any of the charges.

    I predict a hung jury on all charges.

    I see the governor has deployed the National Guard on to Kenosha in anticipation of a verdict.

    Governor Tony Evers does not believe that those who think Rittenhouse should be acquitted will riot if he is not. We all know which side deploys the violent rioters, it's side that has been attacking Rittenhouse.

    the reason no charges were brought against GG is because was a boogie boy pretending to be antifa ..

    he thought rittenhouse was antifa and
    how soon people forget january 6th

    the guys rittenhiouse killed were trumpers pretending to be antifa

    ritenhouse killed 2 of his own rather than take a old fashioned ass whoopin

    There’s been a very significant development which bolsters the prosecutions case.


    The judge is going to instruct the jury that the prosecution’s assertion that Rittenhouse provoked the confrontation with one of the decreased is valid.

    This is significant in that legally one can not claim self defense if they provoked a confrontation or were the aggressor.

    They could find him not guilty on one of the killings, but find him guilty on the other.


    https://www.reuters.com/world/us/ju...y-consider-lesser-charge-shooting-2021-11-12/


    KENOSHA, Wis., Nov 12 (Reuters) - The judge in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse said on Friday he would instruct the jury they can consider the prosecution's argument that the teenager provoked an encounter with one of two men he fatally shot during protests in Wisconsin last year.

    The ruling is a boost for prosecutors because it opens the door for them to argue that Rittenhouse was the aggressor, which would raise the bar for the teenager's effort to convince the jury that he acted in self-defense

    Judge has changed his mind it seems on giving that instruction. He's saying since no testimony was had by ziminski's who would be complaining witnesses here, he won't give that instruction.
    Prosecution is on its own to make the argument, judge is not going to point out its a fact in evidence because its not. That's out of bounds he says this morning.

    And the "evidence" for Kyle's "provocation" is a pixelated blob on a video screen that looks like a space invader from a early 80s arcade game.

    Ziminksi was such a dirtbag, the prosecution didn't want to risk putting him on the stand.

    And of course that is why he needs to sue the prosecutors and the State of Wisconsin for malicious prosecution.

    And he should also sue the fake news media that told countless lies about him in an obvious attempt to taint the jury pool.

    Even if that was a HD image that shows he was pointing his gun and he lost the right to self defense due to provocation.. he regains the ability to claim self defense if he withdrawals.. like running away.. just like he did.

    so it really shows how the prosecution is not following the law at all in this case..

    LOL thanks for this, you have finally sealed my decision to literally not take a word you say seriously. Nobody gives a crap who voted for who, they attacked him, the damn law doesn't care about antifa, BLM, Dem or Rep. Good Grief.

    Liberals are going to lose their collective shyt when the jury acquits. The judge has already dropped the weapons charge. Not looking good for the left and their ridiculous narrative today.
