Rittenhouse jury just went to deliberate

[JohnDB]

If a judge was to declare a mistrial with prejudice it would need to be done before it went to the jury. Now that it's in the hands of the jury he no longer has that authority.

If the jury can't reach a verdict his only option then is to declare a mistrial and let the prosecution decide if they want another trial.

Nope... because he can interview the jury and find out exactly what the problem is...

And in this case it's likely one or two people not understanding the law. Or more likely, refusing to understand the law.

So then those reserve jurors can come into play...there are 6 of them. Because if it's discovered that juror misconduct is taking place...then the misbehaving jurors can find themselves in a world of trouble...they will be replaced and the alternates placed in their place...and the jurors involved in misconduct might see a bit of jail time.

You don't understand the process. I explained it accurately.

So Alec Baldwin committed murder.

Not necessarily. He did if he intended to kill her.

If he didn't he be could be charged with negligent homicide.


Killing someone through a careless or negligent act is not necessarily murder. I'm not sure why this is new concept to you

 

[ColonelAngus]

Lefties are so used to screaming RACISM! They do not know what to do with a situation that has nothing to do with race.

The prosecutor claimed one is responsible for anything shot from ones gun.

Seems that Kyle and Alec have similar responsibility.

Somebody that sat as an observer in the courtroom made the comment to someone doing live streaming there are two obvious "Karens" on the jury.

 

[DrLove]

Not necessarily...
Especially from the preponderance of evidence and the prosecutor misconduct.

That is a different subject my friend. Please catch up!

 

[DrLove]

You have no idea whatsoever if -this- is true.
You argue wholly from ignorance.

Find that case yet loony bird? No you didn’t, therefore you are FOS!

The “Karens & Kens are the barrel strokers who get sceerd if black peoples come down their street.

This shouldn't come as a huge surprise to anyone, but the shooter is responsible for the handling of a firearm.

 

[BackAgain]

Binger said YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY BULLET THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR GUN.

Is this true?

He didn’t say it clearly. He doesn’t say much of anything all that well.

If I clear a round, for example, I’m not all that responsible for it being fired out of someone else’s gun.

But I do kind of agree that when I fire any weapon by lifting up the weapon, “aiming” it and pulling the trigger, I pretty much AM responsible for where it goes and who that round strikes.

 

[ColonelAngus]

This shouldn't come as a huge surprise to anyone, but the shooter is responsible for the handling of a firearm.

Yes, so Alec is in trouble.

Whatever that means

 

[Papageorgio]

Lefties are so used to screaming RACISM! They do not know what to do with a situation that has nothing to do with race.

I'm waiting for lefties to claim it is because of global warming or it is because of unvaccinated people. That seems to be their standard answers.

1. Said that the prosecution couldn't refer to the victims as victims
2. Reserved his ire ONLY for the prosecutor
3. Led a round of applause for a defense witness just because he was a veteran
4. His ringtone is one of the goofiest songs ever written - God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood
5. Constantly made the entire trial all about HIMSELF
6. Cracked a racist joke about Asian food

That'll do for starters

If a prosecutor calls an alleged victim a “victim” the prosecutor is essentially asserting that he was undeserving of what befell him. Prosecutors are NOT the ones to testify or state the ultimate conclusion. The question is whether the alleged victim was truly a victim.

Similarly, the prosecutor did worse. He stated that they were the “murder” victims. Whether it was a murder is a question to be answered not some already established fact. It is actually improper to testify like that.

The judge showed ire to the attorney who earned the ire. Why show ire to a defense attorney for conduct and behavior that didn’t cross any lines?

I don’t think a judge should show special respect for any witness — even over something as meritorious as prior military service. But that’s not judicial misconduct.

Yeah yeah — his phone rang once. Get over it. His ringtone choice is of no consequence at all.

Saying it is not the same as demonstrating it. I saw nothing he did or said which made the trial all about himself. What are you alluding to?

Even a dumb joke about Asian food doesn’t make it a racist joke.

 

[DrLove]

Yes, so Alec is in trouble.

Yes he is. He’ll lose a few million at minimum in a civil suit.

You don't know what a Karen is? LOL!

It shouldn't come as a huge surprise to you but the shitheads that attacked Kyle are responsible for the outcome of their stupidity.

What does that have to do with the shooter being responsible for the safe handling of the firearm?
