Kyle Rittenhouse prosecution accused of withholding key evidence, defense demands mistrial

While the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is in a verdict watch, the defendant's defense attorneys file a motion demanding a mistrial over evidence they say was withheld from them by the prosecution. The defense claims a high-quality version of the drone video showing the shooting of Joseph Rosenbaum was not given over to the defense until after all the evidence had been presented. Meanwhile, jurors in the case have asked the judge about whether they should view videos of the incident in the courtroom or inside the jury room.

He had the right to protect himself and his own property but as far as I know it’s not legal to protect others with deadly force so I think the defense is trying to make it seem like that wasn’t the case.

If Kyle Rittenhouse was black he wouldn’t be having a court case he would be dead in Kenosha. Honest answer. Whether it’s appropriate to cross state lines with an AR-15 to defend other strangers property resulting in the death of two people…. no I would not support it and condemn them as well. I don’t believe the initial shooting was warranted and everything after was a result of shooting a man 4 times. By standers have no knowledge of what happened prior other than him shooting someone.
