Kyle Rittenhouse Lawyers Request Mistrial, Argue Prosecution Withheld Video Evidence
The defense team for 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse has once again requested Judge Bruce Schroeder declare a mistrial with prejudice, arguing the prosecution withheld video evidence “at the center of their case.”
During the prosecution’s closing arguments on Monday, Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger showed members of the jury high-definition drone video footage of the incident wherein Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum in an attempt to demonstrate that Rittenhouse was allegedly “pointing his gun” at people to provoke the encounter.
That is not how the process of Discovery works - both sides are supposed to share any and all information that they have. There are strong penalties for not doing this.
If it is declared a mistrial, Rittenhouse will be free to walk and there will be no second trial.
