I don’t really know all about how mistrials work but how much would this help the prosecution? It would just be another trial with the same evidence, right? Are they hoping for another Judge who’s more pozzed, or do they just want to bleed Kyle’s defense fund?

And if it gets dismissed with prejudice then that looks even worse for the prosecution than losing. They’re probably just better off taking their chances that the jury will convict Kyle based on politics anyway.

The theory is that they're hoping for a more pozzed judge. Kyle's defense seems to be doing nothing for him, and the prosecution's only obstacle (other than their own incompetence) is that this judge doesn't take any bullshit.

One of the best things that could come out of this complete shitshow is the judge recommending this prosecutor for disbarment.

Well, maybe. As long as someone this shit is in the job it could in theory mean they will just fuck up for a long time still to come, although whether that will always work against them is a different issue if shitty judges then still side with them because 🤡🌍

You mean the jury convicts out of fear of retribution like with Chauvin

That’s part of it, but I’m willing to believe there’s plenty of people stupid enough to want Kyle locked up without being threatened.

Not stupid, evil. We know what kind of people were rioting over Jacob Blake's well-deserved shooting, because 100% of Rittenhouse's sample were criminal scum. The people who want to avenge the child rapist, the strangler, or Byecep do so because they too are scumbags.

I really meant more of a mix of both; the people pulling the strings are more evil than stupid, and the useful idiots on the ground and in the jury chamber are more stupid than evil.

According to the jurors, yes

A mistrial due to prosecutorial misconduct would bar a retrial unless something on the order of the dirty trick they played on Cosby happens. If this is the prosecution's game they're even bigger retards than we thought.

Maybe they're hoping for a mistrial without prejudice.

"It wasn't intentional misconduct, your honor. I'm just overworked, stressed, emotionally invested, retarded and whatnot." - the prosecutor probably

That would be the absolute best case for the prosecution considering how badly some witnesses appear to have backfired for them.

That constitutional violation probably makes it harder for them to get it without prejudice, but they've shown themselves to be complete and utter retards, so your theory is very much a possibility. They would have to convince the judge, and it seems like he's completely sick of their shit. Maybe they were hoping the judge would be crooked like in the Cosby case.

It's not just the evidence that makes the prosecution look bad. It's also how they presented it. The next time they could avoid all the fuck-ups they committed. They could avoid all the questions that torpedoed their case and the new jury would never hear about those things.
