Bringing this witness in allows Binger to introduce race as another motive. There must be a major reason why Binger didn’t do it.
The shots fired at Kung Fu Jamal give rise to the least-serious charges against Rittenhouse, and KFJ was willing to testify only in exchange for immunity on other charges. The DA had the video and testimony from other eyewitnesses.

The prosecutor's office obviously decided that they did not "need him" as much as they wanted to jail him for the other offense.

None of which explains the apparent failure to identify KFJ to the defense team.

Honest question, how the hell did it take this long to identify him? I don't believe for one second the feds/prosecutors didn't know who he was a year ago.
Almost certainly.

So, did the DA disclose KFJ to the defense. If not, Judge Schroeder could conceivably be very, very unhappy with them.

Jump Kick Man is a 40-year-old Black male from Kenosha with an extensive criminal record who was at the time of the Rittenhouse shootings on probation following a conviction for domestic violence battery.


Two things.

First, Kyle is LUCKY he did not hit that cat, because that would have been a black "victim" and regardless of the video he'd have HAD TO BE convicted.

Second, it's now 4 for 4 that the people Kyle was forced to shoot at were criminals. What are the odds that Kyle is just THAT GOOD at picking out the worst of the litter, or do you think this is likely to be a solid cross section of the shitheads out there "protesting?"

I’m almost certain it was stated during the trial by the defense that no one can identify him. If true, the judge is going to ream the prosecutor. You can’t hide evidence like that.

I recall them claiming he couldn't be identified as well.

The DA didn't want him there just like he didn't want Ziminsky testifying.

I believe a very substantial component of Antifa and the violent elements of BLM are ex-cons or thug types. They are violent people with nothing to lose except for their freedom...if we would put them back in prison.

Still no identification of the white T-shirt attacker. Bet he is a local. He should be identifiable from those videos.

Never believed for one second this guy was “unknown” to the prosecution. They were hiding him.

So excuse my lack of trial knowledge… but the prosecution hiding his identity, if known, is a no no isn’t it? Can that be considered exculpatory evidence? And that be a “Brady” violation?

Or are they not required to turn that over?

quote:

The prosecution's star witness in the Kyle Rittenhouse case had a criminal charge dismissed just six days before the trial's start, meaning the jury had no insight into his extensive criminal record nor his history of lying to police, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger was well aware of this when he paraded Gaige Grosskreutz, 28, the third man shot on the night of August 25, 2020, as a paragon of selfless virtue. He was a paramedic, the court heard, just there that evening to provide medical aid, as he claimed to have done at countless other protests across the country.

In fact, DailyMail.com has learned, he is a violent career criminal with a laundry list of prior offenses and convictions stretching back more than a decade.

These include domestic abuse, prowling, trespass, two DUIs, felony burglary and two charges of carrying a firearm while intoxicated - one of which took place when he was banned as a felon from carrying a firearm.

He also has a history of showing disdain for the law by lying to, and failing to co-operate with, police.

But the Rittenhouse jury heard none of this.

Because just six days before he took the stand, Grosskreutz was before a judge himself at a hearing at which a pending DUI charge – a second offense that saw him three times over the legal limit – was dismissed on a technicality.


quote:

Had Grosskreutz's latest DUI charge not been dismissed in such a timely manner Rittenhouse's defense would have been allowed to question him under oath about the fact that he was on bond and the nature of his offense.

The information would have severely damaged Grosskreutz's credibility and eroded the wholesome image of a law-abiding citizen offered up by the prosecution.

God was really watching over KR that night despite everything. Imagine if his bullets had actually struck a black man even if being jump kicked?

If true, that's a fricking bombshell.

law abiding citizens don’t see a riot going and see it as an opportunity to go out and riot or loot businesses. It takes a special kind of piece of shite to do that so yes most there will have some kind of criminal background

That is putting it lightly. If this is true it’s essentially a guarantee of a dismissal with prejudice due to prosecutorial misconduct. I don’t think there is any way this could be true, it would be really, really brazen

You are correct.

The question is whether the info was withheld or whether the defense had the identity of this person and also chose not to use him. There might be several reasons for such a decision, including (but not limited to) having no control over him, having no way to predict what he might perjure himself and say, and not wanting a Black "victim" on the stand claiming that he was assaulted to Rittenhouse.

At no point does the OP assert that the DA withheld this information, and I would think that the defense would be screaming loudly-enough to be heard in Atlanta if that were the case.

But I would very, very much like to know for certain whether this info was disclosed.

Only if the DA did not disclose the info to the defense. Thus far, no one has reported that to be the case, though a lot of posters are jumping to that conclusion.

On the other hand, statements (from both sides, as I recall) that no one had identified KFJ do tend to support the conclusions that (i) the defense did not know and (ii) the prosecution lied. I certainly cannot think of a reason that both sides would lie about that issue to the judge and jury.

I recall the ADA claiming, in court, that he could not be identified.
