BOOM: The Star Witness for Prosecution in Rittenhouse Trial Just Blew Up the State's Case

 

BY VICTORIA TAFT NOV 08, 2021 7:32 PM ET

The man wounded by Kyle Rittenhouse on August 25, 2020, during the Kenosha, Wisc., riots blew up the state’s case against the accused murderer under cross-examination on Monday afternoon.

Though Gaige Grosskreutz spent a couple of hours on the witness stand, the man Rittenhouse wounded that night blew up the state’s case in one short span of cross-examination on Monday. Two other men were killed by Rittenhouse that night  :snip:      

Grosskreutz carried a Glock pistol on him that night that was illegally concealed. His concealed-carry permit had expired.

And then Grosskreutz told the truth, and in so doing, made the second admission that blew up the state’s case.  

Under questioning by the defense attorney, Grosskreutz admitted that Rittenhouse hadn’t shot him until his own Glock pistol was pointed toward Rittenhouse.

If there’s justice in the world, that would be game, set, match.

Prosecution rests in Rittenhouse trial after witness admits he pointed gun at him

Barnini Chakraborty, Senior Investigations Reporter

November 09, 2021 04:40 PM

Prosecutors in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial rested their case Tuesday following a week of testimony that at times appeared to hurt them more than help.

Much of the explosive testimony came on Monday when Gaige Grosskreutz , the only person to survive being shot by Rittenhouse, lent support to the defense's central claim that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense on Aug. 25, 2020. That night, Rittenhouse shot and wounded Grosskreutz in the arm minutes after fatally shooting Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26.

Grosskreutz, a trained EMT who traveled to Kenosha on his own behalf to render medical aid to protesters, testified Monday as the state's star witness.

However, his testimony underscored the uphill battle prosecutors have faced trying to prove Rittenhouse was a trigger-happy tourist who purposely inserted himself into the chaos unfolding in Kenosha.

Meet 'Grandbo,' the Star of the First Day of Defense Case in Kyle Rittenhouse Trial

She’s not a nut. She’s not a militia member. She’s “Grandbo,” and her testimony in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial on Tuesday completely beguiled many people watching the Kenosha County trial. As such, they’ve christened her with the new nickname.

Furious Judge in Rittenhouse Trial Accuses Prosecution of ‘Grave Constitutional Violation’

 

Judge Bruce Schroeder of the Kenosha County Court accused prosecutors of a “grave constitutional violation” in the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse on Wednesday morning after they tried to comment on his earlier reactions to testimony in the case.

Rittenhouse stunned observers by taking the witness stand in his own defense, something that defendants rarely do in such trials. He recalled the events of Aug. 25 last year, when he fired on members of a mob attacking him during a Black Lives Matter riot. As he began to describe the events leading to the shootings, he broke down, and the trial took a brief recess.

 

When Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger began his cross-examination, he began by noting that Rittenhouse had opportunities to watch videos of the riot, and to read articles about it, during the months since his arrest. Rittenhouse said that he had seen most of the videos during the trial, and that he tried to avoid reading articles on the Internet about his case because they tended to be inaccurate.

The prosecution then noted that Rittenhouse had been able to watch all of the previous witnesses in the trial, implying that Rittenhouse may have constructed his version of events from previous testimony, rather than his own recollection of events.

@Valin The trial seem to be going so well in Kyles favor. I do not understand the decision for him to testify????

 

This judge is kind of known in Kenosha and in my county. Back in the day of Court TV they covered a trial where a man poisoned his wife with anti-freeze. Because the case 

got so much publicity in Kenosha, the venue was moved here.  The man was convicted. Later the conviction was overturned because of evidence that the judge let in that the 

appeals court ruled inadmissible. I'm just wondering if the prosecutor is trying to take advantage of that.

MSNBC host suggests Rittenhouse judge should be removed from the case

 

Tiffany Cross, the host of MSNBC's Cross Connection, pondered on Twitter about how the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial could be removed from the case and accused him of bias after clips went viral of him berating the prosecution for its conduct during the trial.

Moments after Rittenhouse himself broke down and sobbed uncontrollably on the stand, Judge Bruce Schroeder ordered the jury out of the room and subsequently reprimanded the prosecution for questioning Rittenhouse's post-arrest silence during the trial and referencing evidence that had been excluded under terms agreed in the pretrial hearing.

Kyle Rittenhouse sobs in court as he takes stand, judge calls recess

 

Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old charged with killing two people and injuring another during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, sobbed Wednesday as he took the stand to be questioned by his defense team.

The judge called for a brief recess after Rittenhouse began hyperventilating and could no longer control his emotions shortly after being asked to describe the moments leading up to the shootings.

Why Is Rittenhouse Testifying?

 

 

Our Caroline Downey has an excellent post relating the tension, the emotion, and the grave constitutional implications of Kyle Rittenhouse’s testimony in his own defense at his Wisconsin murder trial.

A few legal and tactical points are worth notAs I’ve laid out in a column today, the prosecution’s case has been stunningly weak — even to those of us who did not have high expectations for it. Naturally, the question arises: Why let the defendant testify?

After all, the defense seems to be winning the trial decisively, and the prosecution bears the entirety of the burden of proof. That is, the defense can choose to offer no evidence, and rely on the state’s failure to establish guilt. Putting the defendant on the stand not only runs the risk that he will implode and shift the momentum to the prosecution. Once it chooses to present a case, and especially if the defendant testifies, the defense can no longer rely on the government’s paltry case standing alone. The jury is entitled to consider the entirety of the record, including the defense evidence — which sometimes helps the prosecution.

This is a huge risk, so why run it? There are a number of reasons.

(1) The question — why let the defendant testify? — is ill-conceived. The decision whether the accused testifies in his own defense belongs to the accused. The Constitution gives a defendant assistance of counsel, not submission to counsel. The major decisions in a case — whether to plead guilty, whether to testify — are up to the defendant. The lawyers provide their best professional advice, but it’s up to the accused.

We don’t know what happened here, but if Rittenhouse wanted to testify, his lawyers needed to put him on the stand, even if they thought it wasn’t a smart move. Rittenhouse has spent over a year immersed in coverage that occasionally portrayed him as a monster. He will never have a better chance in his life to define himself. He took it.

Facebook confirmed to The Verge shortly after the Kenosha riots that it was blocking searches of Kyle Rittenhouse, but claimed it blocked searches for a lot of things including “child exploitation content.”

The company said in an earlier statement that they had already categorized the incident as a “mass murder.”

“We’ve designated this shooting as a mass murder and have removed the shooter’s accounts from Facebook and Instagram,” a Facebook representative said.

2 is Mass Murder?

The Rittenhouse Testimony From a Gun Owner's Angle

At one point, the prosecutor grilled Rittenhouse about ballistics, specifically the .223 full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds he was using the night of the shootings. Rittenhouse admits he doesn’t know a lot about bullets. We all know FMJ rounds are not the first choice for self-defense. The prosecutor declares the hollow points do more damage to a target but then goes on to say FMJ rounds were specifically made to go through the target, in this case, people. Am I wrong or was he suggesting the round was made to hit multiple people, and Kyle, whom he suggests showed up that night to “kill people,” was hell-bent on slaughtering rioters, even those behind his targets?

 

There are a ton of gun-loving YouTubers, people I’m guessing have way more ballistic knowledge than the prosecutor, who would disagree with him when it comes to “over penetration” of rounds.

Here is a video of various .223 rounds and how they penetrate. You’ll see the FMJ doesn’t do what the moronic prosecutor asserts. If Rittenhouse wanted to incur damage, he would have gone out of his way to find hollow points.

The prosecutor attacks Rittenhouse for shooting an “unarmed” man using “just a foot” who was kicking him. And later for shooting a man who walloped Rittenhouse with a skateboard. Apparently, the guntard prosecutor doesn’t know that more people are killed every year by feet and fists and blunt objects than by all rifles combined, even the big, bad, scary, assault semi-automatic rifle Rittenhouse used to defend himself. If you don’t believe me, ask the FBI.

If you accuse Kyle Rittenhouse of “faking tears” from being forced to relive the trauma of having to shoot violent, armed child-rapists and arsonists, but claim PTSD from being called the wrong pronouns

… you might be an asshole.

The Bozo prosecutor asked Rittenhouse why he didn’t put his rifle down to fight a fire. Simple: you don’t put a loaded weapon down in a riot, you jackpudding. I was hoping this was the attorney’s first day on the job and he couldn’t possibly be this inept, but apparently he’s been there for years.
