Rittenhouse VERDICT WATCH Day 2: Defense Files For Mistrial With Prejudice

Defense files motion for mistrial with prejudice; State withheld high-definition version of “unicorn” drone video

In late-breaking news the night of November 16, 2021, the defense filed a motion for a mistrial with prejudice on grounds that the State failed to provide the defense with the high-definition drone video in its possession, insteady merely providing the defense with a low-resolution version of that video, as well as on other grounds.

[...] The entire key to the prosecution’s theory of the case is the purported provocation of Rosenbaum by Kyle Rittenhouse pointing his rifle at another person. This video is the only evidence the prosecution has ever offered in support of this theory. The high-definition version which was used to support the provocation theory in closing argument was never provided to the defense, and particularly not prior the defense putting Rittenhouse on the witness stand to testify–thus the defense was unable to properly prepare their client to testify. Naturally the defense was also not properly able to prepare it’s own closing argument to counter the prosecution narrative of provocation as purportedly demonstrated in the high-definition version of this video.

[...] there are also a number of reports overnight that the identity of ‘Jump Kick Guy’ is known to the prosecution, with one suggesting that they declined to bring him in as a witness as he required immunity in order to testify.

Is it reasonable to expect this to be raised in court this morning, and if found true added to the motion for mistrial with prejudice? (read more)
