Why won't these lawyers ask for mistrial with prejudice, the grounds are there to ask for it and get it.

These defense lawyers are either incompetent, corrupt or scared of a mob backlash.

Kyle deserves better than this type of defense.

They filed a written motion for mistrial with prejudice that is still pending a ruling by the judge.

It is a bit odd that they would open the door for a mistrial without prejudice on the same issue while that is still pending. Especially considering a mistrial without prejudice option is kind of baked in when a judge reviews a motion for a mistrial with prejudice.

What's even more odd is that the prosecution didn't immediately concede and jump on the defense's offer for a mistrial without prejudice. If I were the prosecution, I'd be all over that.

I have no personal connection to this case.

However we all need to pay close attention to this case because this is the canary in the coal mine for viability of self defense in a court of law.

If Kyle does gets convicted, it means the left now has free rein to terrorize anyone anywhere with no fear of backlash.

A guilty Rittenhouse verdict signifies the nullification of the second amendment as what is the point of bearing arms if people will just get convicted for defending themselves anyway.

The old adage, it is better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6 will then cease to be true.

I really hope to God that Rittenhouse is not convicted.

It would be a huge blackpill moment if he is convicted.

I already have experieced way too many blackpills over the last 5 years.

If he's convicted that's it for the Jury Box of Liberty and we're now on to the final box. Anyone hoping to avoid that fate will have to come to terms with what that now means.

I understand where you are coming from.

This case matters because this sets a dangerous precedent nationwide

Law is unfortunately not at all about justice or the facts of the case but all about emotional appeals, national politics and precedent.

Kyle's case doesn't directly impact me sure but a Rittenhouse conviction will have catastrophic effects on the norms of society.

You have valid complaints about boomercons but rest assured I am not one of them.

I am too blackpilled these days.

The defense's behavior is incomprehensible. At least aim high and let the judge say no (which is appealable).

This is not just about this case. If a saint like Kyle can't defend himself against rioters and arsonists and pedos, even when numerous video recordings all show clear self-defense, then none of us can. That's what they're going for here.

They filed a written motion for mistrial with prejudice, too. I don't know why they verbally requested a mistrial without prejudice before that was even ruled on.

How the fuck does the defense request a mistrial without prejudice in this case? The prosecution shit the bed almost every step of the way. Why would you ever give them a do-over?

I'd say that that stunningly incompetent prosecutor couldn't possibly get a conviction, but then again I thought the incumbent President who fixed the economy, started no new wars, and got 30,000 people out to his campaign rallies would beat the senile old fart who would get 20 people out to a rally and then be in bed by noon.
