The latest was what we found out yesterday from the Daily Mail, when they came upon the knowledge that the prosecutor lied and kept an attacker named Maurice Freeland off the witness stand and lied to both the court and the defense when they claimed they didn't know the name of the attacker who chased and tried to kick Kyle Rittenhouse in the face that night, and Kyle Rittenhouse shot at him twice and missed.

They lied and said they didn't know the name when they had personally met with the man, yet the Daily Mail found out that they had met with him, and they used the video IN court to try and say that Kyle Rittenhouse was just randomly shooting at people.

They denied the defense the right to challenge the witness on the stand.

What do you think of that?

Should he be disbarred for doing that?  

That is just one of the reasons IMO he should be UP on Charges of Prosecutorial Misconduct, and threatened with jail time himself.

I doubt seriously that you support that kind of egregious actions by these rogue prosecutors do you?

This is why the legal system in this nation is quickly becoming dangerous to ordinary citizens when a prosecutor can railroad a person into prison and they have all the money and power of the state to go after a person like Kyle Rittenhouse full bore charging him to the hilt.

The guy is a complete disgrace and so I heartily disagree with you.

This prosecutor charged within 48 hours.  

He was looking to make a name for himself and he had prosecutorial discretion to decide not to charge Rittenhouse.  

He saw the evidence, and excused ALL the violence and attempts to kill Kyle Rittenhouse BY the MOB.
Hi Richard:

I did not watch enough of the trial to have an opinion whether the prosecutor engaged in sanctionable misconduct.  The coverage is sooooo biased it is hard to tell.  I do trust the system to the end though.  If the prosecutor did something sanctionable, he'll probably get sanctioned.   If he did not, then I'll accept the decisions of the attorney disciplinary  commission in WI.  I've never been sanctioned, and I hope I never am, but in most states, the disciplinary commission is really aggressive.  They publish the "public" sanctions each month here, (public admonitions all the way to disbarment,) and sometimes I think, "yikes..."  Not for disbarment offenses of course, but sometimes for the lesser sanctions.  Jim

And in my opinion you have that exactly backwards, it is a seminal victory for gun rights and the right to defend oneself against attempted murder by one using a gun to keep from getting killed by an angry mob.

That is PRECISELY what the 2nd amendment is All about.

12 jurors of his peers confirmed that UNANIMOUSLY.

IF it isn't a vindication of gun rights in this nation and the 2nd amendment, just what the hell is it?
I see your point, and I agree, given the way you phrased it, so I'll try to re-phrase my original point.  What I don't want to see is a bunch of "patriots" marching around with rifles "keeping the peace" at all the future left-wing rallies.  I don't want Rittenhouse's acquittal in court to embolden the next Kyle Rittenhouse, even though it probably will. 

It is not something we have talked about recently, but the police should have controlled the riot.  If rioting breaks out tonight, I trust the National Guard to do their jobs.   It is not and should not remotely be Kyle Rittenhouse's job to protect the downtown.

Totally different if he is protecting his own home or business.   Jim

At this point the above is your opinion based upon some evidence. 

It becomes fact as a matter of law when the disciplinary commission says it is fact and sanctions the prosecutor.  Even then it is not an absolute fact, along the lines of the sun coming up in the east.  It is a legal fact, meaning a conclusion reached after deliberately applying the burden of proof to the evidence.

Just an opinion as of now....

I'll remind you that the GOP in congress were offering Rittenhouse a congressional internship DURING the trial and BEFORE the verdict was heard so there's the "official" stamp of approval of his actions as those of some sort of a hero. If that doesn't "inspire" others to act in the same manner as him, than what does?

Rod, there are two profound and fundamental factual inaccuracies in the linked story.  Don't you care about your credibility at all?  This is no different than linking to crap posted by NewsMax.

More to the point, three of the far right whack jobs in Congress are offering him an internship, in jest I suppose.  No surprise there.  Did you read the DCCC's tweet totally disrespecting the jury system?  The polarized fringe in our Congress is out in force, as predicted.

Nut bars are part of the species David.  There will always be a next case, no matter what we do.  It is sad.

So true, and so sad.  If someone is motivated by this verdict to go defend a city during a riot, and if they shoot someone, they should expect a murder charge to stick, unless the evidence is as favorable for them as it was for Rittenhouse.  All of the evidence and testimony made a strong enough case for self-defense (obviously) - but it was close enough that the jury deliberated for over 20 hours.  The next Rittenhouse will hopefully be kept separate from rioters or protesters or bystanders by a proper police presence.  For everyone's sake.  Jim
