FBI would want relevant evidence presented in court, not on TV. Same for me, honestly. Doesn't prove self defense. Enforcing rules on hearsay doesn't show judicial bias. Shows he's a professional doing his job. Folks need to chill on the twitter.
the prosecution case amounts to "he shouldn't have been there", pathetic zero evidence that Rittenhouse was the aggressor in any way
More so his behavior throughout the trial. And yes, a simple explanation of hearsay in legal terms would have been sufficient. Instead, his long and biblical editorialization of hearsay evidence at a stage where the prosecution was introducing a tape that included the defendant's own voice would seem to have been instruction to the jury to ignore what was on the take including what the defendant said on the tape.
I think this very well could be the case. I haven't been able to follow the trial but from the evidence I've seen I think there might be a good argument for self-defense. I will say again though that it was very very irresponsible of him to be there. His mother shouldn't have drove him there and Kenosha PD shouldn't have let him roam freely. He was unprepared, untrained, in a city that he knew little about in a situation he knew little about. As someone who was literally on the front lines of what happened in Minneapolis I worked closely with my neighbors in my own neighborhood to protect it. I over prepared in terms of carrying medical supplies to render aid, clearly identified myself when offering medical aid, including wearing high visibility gear, and I also wore protective gear. On top of that I'm an experienced martial artist, with training and experience in sports injuries, I've also been to several disaster sites, including man made disasters. Even with all of that experience it was still a very scary and unsafe situation in the days following the killing of George Floyd. There was tear gas, rubber bullets, people throwing bottles and molotovs. As someone trying to protect my neighborhood had to be careful of both trigger happy authorities and those who were out to loot or just F*U*C*K S*H*I*T UP! I consider it lucky that I didn't get hurt or my house damaged .
There was a lot of video and other evidence that came out during the Derek Chauvin trial that hadn't been publicly released before. It's not unusual for evidence that wasn't in public circulation to come out during a trial.
