Rittenhouse lawyers say they will ask for mistrial

Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Rittenhouse lawyers say they will ask for mistrial” – below is their description.

Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse took the stand Wednesday to testify in his own defense on Day 7 of his murder trial. The defense has demanded a mistrial with prejudice, meaning Kyle Rittenhouse could not be tried again and would get off scot-free for the the two murders in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25, 2020. Judge Bruce Schroeder sent out the jury for a second time and shouted down Prosecutor Thomas Binger. Binger sought to bring information before the jury that the judge had already ruled out of proceedings. Binger had begun to question Rittenhouse about a TikTok post that he had made in which he expressed a desire to have his AR-15 to shoot people. Rising to object, Mark Richards said, ‘The prosecutor is clearly attempting to provoke a mistrial. He’s an experienced attorney and he knows better’. Judge Schroeder began yelling at Binger, ‘Don’t get brazen with me!’. Furious, he concluded with a stern warning to Binger, ‘I don’t want to have another issue as long as this case continues is that clear?’. Rittenhouse broke down on the witness stand as he recalled the moment he was ‘ambushed’ by Joseph Rosenbaum the night he shot him dead. Rittenhouse told the court that Rosembaum threatened to kill him twice once while swinging a heavy chain and the second time when he said he would ‘cut out your f***ing heart’ and ‘kill you N-word’.
