Kyle Rittenhouse - The Truth in 11 Minutes

There may well be Vets on the jury who for obvious reasons, leftist doxxing, wouldn’t acknowledge they were but they would be included in that show of gratitude to Veterans.

Do we know if the jury contains Vets or not? All I’ve seen is that 2 are first responders, 2 are pharmacists and 5 are choosing to wear masks through the whole trial.
A judge presiding over a criminal trial, should not be directing the jury to applaud a witness just ahead of that same witness taking the stand. It was inappropriate. This could have, and should have been done prior to the jury entering the court room.
 
So Schroeder's approach should have been:

I'd like to open proceedings by acknowledging any veterans in attendance today given the holiday. Any veterans here?

Dr Black raises his hand.

Ah, so a bit surprisingly it appears we have a problem in that the only veteran with us today is a defense witness and as drawing extra attention to him would undoubtedly cause histrionics with some I'll forego my intended round of applause for those who have served.

Sound about right?
You are missing the entire point. There would be NOTHING wrong with what Judge Schroeder did, if he had just done it before the jury entered the court room.

Are you just gonna repeat the same stuff over & over all day? We've read that 25 times already. Try something different .... you repeat too much drivel. Taking up alot of space.

Have you ever sat on a jury? If so, if the judge had asked for applause on Veterans Day for any veterans in the courtroom would you have decided a case differently?
 
It's my understanding he took a moment to honor armed forces members. Apparently the only person in the court that qualified to be recognized was a use of force expert that ended up being called by the defense.

Turns out it was immediately before he took the stand. Lol

I guess maybe some folks think if he was going to acknowledge Veterans Day it would be inappropriate to exclude any members of the jury that might be Vets from that token of appreciation.

If he hadn’t said anything about it beyond “Happy Veterans Day” everyone including the jury would still know the defense witness was a Vet via his stated qualifications.
 
Only the anti American left would find a problem with an American Judge honoring an American soldier. Seriously, I’ll buy your ticket.

I'll need two tickets with return flights to Cancun and i really don't care how patriotic a nut like you thinks i am. BTW I don't have a problem with a judge honoring a soldier. I have a problem with him asking a courtroom to applaud a witness in front of a jury. It may seem trivial, but I think it was out of line.
 
If yes is your answer, you're not very smart or honorable. No wonder you want a "do over" on the trial, since your side is so pathetic.
Some of you people really will argue anything. Even Judge Jeanine Pirro of Fox News just said that it was the kind of thing which should be done outside the presence of the jury, but she did also go the extra mile to say that it wasn't a significant breach of decorum and, of course, Judge Bruce Schroeder is doing a great job.

Was Rittenhouse out of line too?

It might surprise you to realize I understand the argument you are trying to make. What I'm poking some fun at is this idea that there's some great legal injustice in having a veteran pointed out as being a veteran and being lauded as such on literally the national holiday set aside to do so. Especially as the question of who would be included in the recognition was extended to the entire courtroom.

Upshot is I pretty much reject there was anything gained by the defense in this as any credibility as an expert witness is going to be established in presentation of bona fides prior to testifying and not a round of applause for being a veteran on VD.

Why do you need return tickets when you can just walk back across the border? Spend a little time down there with your buddies, you know the ones that are flooding across the border, they're friendly. They won't shoot your ass.

Its a pretty long walk. I'd rather fly.
