It was recently reported by ConservativeBrief that Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder instructed the jury this week that they must make its decision on its own, without interference from anywhere — including Joe Biden and others.
The jury began deliberations on Tuesday morning, but not before Schroeder gave them a solid piece of advice.
“You will pay no heed to the opinions of anyone — even the president of the United States or the president before him,” Schroeder said.about:blank
Rittenhouse’s defense team filed a motion with Schroeder to have his case dismissed over allegations of prosecutorial misconduct.
“The state has repeatedly violated instructions from the Court, acted in bad faith, and intentionally provided technological evidence which was different from theirs,” the motion reads.
“For those reasons, the defendant respectfully requests the Court find ‘prosecutorial overreaching’ existed, that overreaching was intentional and in bad faith and thereby grant the defendant’s motion for a mistrial with prejudice,” the filing read.
Earlier Monday, Schroeder dismissed a charge of illegal possession of a firearm against Rittenhouse, a misdemeanor, after his lawyers successfully argued that under Wisconsin law, he was legally able to carry the AR-15 type rifle he possessed in public, per Breitbart News:
On Monday, as lawyers for the prosecution and the defense argued over the final draft of the jury instructions, the defense again raised the issue of the weapons charge, noting that the gun had been measured in court and that the police detective on the witness stand had confirmed that it was not short-barreled.
The judge then indicated that the gun ought to be measured. “If the barrel length is less than 16 inches, or an overall less than 26 inches, then I’ll deny the [defense] motion; if it does not meet those specifications, then the defense motion will be granted,” the judge said.
“We are not disputing that the barrel length is appropriate,” prosecutor James Kraus said, in a defeated tone, effectively admitting the rifle was not a short barrel.
Judge Schroeder dismissed the charge. The remaining charges concern murder and attempted murder. Critics have opined that Rittenhouse’s argument that he acted in self-defense would defeat those charges and that the weapons charge posed the only serious chance of a conviction — if the statute applied.
NOT GUILTY!!!
