re: Kyle Rittenhouse Trial - Day 4 (made the thread title more accurate)
Posted by LockeNLoad on 11/4/21 at 8:03 am
[quote]Malicious prosecution is exactly what this is[/quote]Time will tell, because some contingent fee lawyer somewhere in Wisconsin will almost certainly be willing to roll the dice on this case. When that civil court eventually rules on the inevitable motion for summary judgment from the civil d...

[quote]Bottom line, you cannot change the video. Everyone can see exactly how it played out in real time. This isn’t a far fetched defense theory. It is cold hard mutha frickin facts.

You say that we have interacted in the past, but I have absolutely no recollection whatsoever of your existence.
In any case, the authority you are citing is related to an “imperfect“ self-defense claim, as opposed to a “perfect“ self-defense claim. Yes, under Wisconsin law, the State carries th...

[quote]Pretty sure the burden of proof still lies on the prosecution to prove that it wasn’t justified, and therefore criminal. [/quote]You are mistaken. I cited the relevant Wisconsin statute in the other thread. The burden of proof is not complex, but rather a matter of black letter law. Again:[...

[quote]How does defending your life against armed attackers provide probable cause for any charges whatsoever?[/quote]Because the prosecution only has to establish “probable cause“ on the homicide. To establish “probable cause,” they do not have to negate any affirmative defense that the Defendant m...

[quote]You’re telling me when he’s acquitted he has no civil case for restitution against a political hit job? [/quote]I am saying that he has no tort claim for malicious prosecution.
Maybe a hypothetical lawyer on a contingent fee can craft some other clever theory or argument … but I doubt it....

Thus far, this does not look like one of those cases.
