    From what I have witnessed from watching, the DA's case is weak. He'll be found not guilty. A hung jury is what he don't want, but think the DA is hoping for that.

    He looks not guilty to me.

    I agree that the prosecutor wants a second shot at this, going so far as to conduct himself in a manner that would result in a mistrial.

    Maybe the judge is smarter than that.

    I don't know much about it, but I came across this today.

    Kyle Rittenhouse Trial: Gaige Grosskreutz admits that he pointed a gun at Rittenhouse before being shot

    On November 8, witness Gaige Grosskreutz, the only man who survived being shot by Kyle Rittenhouse, admitted that Rittenhouse did not shoot him until he pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Rittenhouse.

    During the Rittenhouse trial, Grosskreutz, who was on the ground working as a medic for left-wing rioters, denied that he was trying to kill Rittenhouse and that he had only pursued Rittenhouse after someone shouted 'medic.' Grosskreutz also says that he believed Rittenhouse was an active shooter and only aimed a firearm at the then-17-year-old because he feared for his life.

    "I do know that I was never trying to kill the defendant. That was never something I was trying to do," Grosskreutz claimed. "In that moment, I was trying to preserve my own life. But doing so while taking the life of another is not something I am capable of or comfortable doing."

    However, the video of the shooting appears to disagree. Initially, Rittenhouse aimed but did not shoot Grosskreutz when he approached Rittenhouse at breakneck speed and stopped short with his hands up. It wasn't until Grosskreutz went down, continued to close the distance between the two, drew his pistol, and aimed it at Rittenhouse that Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz arm with which he was wielding the gun.

    "That's a photo of you, yes," Rittenhouse's defence asked, referring to a screenshot from the video that depicts Grosskreutz with a gun pointed at Rittenhouse, who has, in turn, shot Grosskreutz's gun arm.

    "Yes," Grosskreutz replied.

    "That's Mr. Rittenhouse," the defence continued.

    "Correct."

    "Do you agree your firearm is pointed at Mr. Rittenhouse, correct?"

    "Yes."

    "And once your firearm is pointed at Mr. Rittenhouse, that's when he fires his gun. Yes?

    "No."

    "Does this look like right now your arm is being shot?"

    "That looks like my bicep being vaporized, yes."

    "And it's being vaporized as you're pointing your gun directly at [Rittenhouse]. Yes?"

    "Yes," confirmed Grosskreutz.

    "So, when you were standing three to five feet from [Rittenhouse] with your arms up in the air, [Rittenhouse] never fired, right?"

    "Correct."

    "It wasn't until you pointed your gun at [Rittenhouse], advanced on him with your gun — now your hand's down, pointed at him — that he fired, right?"

    "Correct," said Grosskreutz.

    While this damning admission should make this an open-and-shut case of self-defence, the political drive to see Rittenhouse convicted for murder lingers in the background and may play a role in the decision.

    Unfortunately, few media outlets are focusing on this ground-breaking piece of evidence and admission, instead choosing to focus on Grosskreutz feelings during and after the shooting, only adding fuel to the fire ready to explode should Rittenhouse be found innocent of all charges.

    He will be convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter. That may not satisfy the bloodthirsty left who want his head on a platter.

    Did you see the video with Michael Strahan, where he gave Grosskreutz permission to "lie" the moment is at 3:30


    Here is where he was under oath and not allowed to lie: about 1:50

    This guy has no credibility. Apparently he has a civil lawsuit going on. It's possible his testimony will void it.

    Can he get a fair verdict? Are the jurors intimidated by the threat of riots? Are many on the jury woke themselves and will never see this as self defense no matter the evidence?
