Case was made beforehand.

Why let prosecution cross examine Kyle?

It’s rittenhouse’s freedom at stake. Clearly the team thought it would help...

He’s doing fine. Not sure why everyone is bitching about it. Showing he’s a kid with intentions to be helpful and was attacked and had to defend himself.

Shouldn’t have been there but he didn’t do anything wrong.

I will agree with you on this point.

He still walks but no need to over complicate things

This trial was over at lunch. Just a matter of time now.

Burden of proof lies upon the State to make the case, not for Rittenhouse to prove his innocence.

The State case was collapsing ( may have already collapsed ) so why do it ? No real reason. None.

Because the burden of proof shifts to defendant if using an affirmative defense like self defense.

Although you could see from the video that it looks like self defense, he needed to ultimately testify that he believed he was in imminent danger. He needed to establish fear of harm. Would be hard to do without his testimony since Rosenbaum was not in possession of a weapon.

That’s my guess.

If I'm charged with some stupid bullshite, you better believe I'm talking the stand in my defense.

Only Democrats hide behind the 5th amendment bullshite.

It was a terrible idea to do this. His attorneys are in on it.

The fix is in on this case. There will be riots if he gets off and the jury knows that. You can bet the wrong people know jury identities and addresses. Word will get to the jury about the dangers to them and their families if he is acquitted. No matter how bad the prosecution botches the trial, he will be convicted.

Kyle will be fine but putting him on the stand was insane. I can only guess Kyle insisted.

You're wrong. He has established self-defense.

As a woman, if I were on that jury, and after listening to Kyle, I would vote to acquit.

I would not have. He looks like a defenseless kid on the side, but significantly tougher on the stand.

It wasn’t, but it worked. I wouldn’t have taken that gamble, but he did a damn good job.
