Why would he take the stand? I thought things were going well for the defense already (based on topics on CE)

The only theory I have is whacky. Everyone knew this was a show trial from the start, and theyre actually trying to nail the car bros.

If the breakdown was fake then it gets him extra sympathy points...but it was completely unnecessary because he's going to be found not guilty anyway unless the cross completely rips him apart

But they don't need to. This case was over Monday before the defense even began giving their case.

A defendant going up on the stand is notoriously risky. Something as simple as coming off as slightly unlikable could damage the defense.

Weird, because Kyle is still alive and the people he killed arent.

idk, from what Ive seen so far, unfortunately I think hell walk outside of the gun charges (I personally dont believe you should be able to claim self defense when you werent supposed to be there with that weapon anyway tbh) but I think its in poor taste to paint him as this sympathetic poor soul when people lost their fucking life and he will likely walk free and get tons of endorsements for this entire thing.

Yeah, understand it was a traumatic event for the kid, but again, people fucking died and he wasnt supposed to be there anyway.

Agreed, but that was a ligit breakdown. I think the reality finally set in.

This is like saying that illegal immigrants shouldn't be protected by the law. They're not supposed to be here anyway, right?

Think about the stuff you guys say about this kid; apply it to a broader context. Do you really believe the stuff you say, or do you just want to justify all the hate you feel for this particular individual?

Doesn't the prosecution decide who goes up on stand? Then the prosecution cross examines, then the defense attorney crosses. I think that's how it goes.


No, each side can call their own witnesses as they present their case and the other side gets to cross examine any witnesses brought forth if they want to. But a prosecution can't force a defendant to testify in their own trial.

Weird, didnt know:
a) illegal immigration was a part of this trial
b) that an illegal immigrant shot multiple people, killing multiple people, is on trial

Oh wait, they arent? Then shut the fuck up.

I did read your whole post. But you seem to be saying he needs to control his uncontrollable trauma cause other people are dead.

I like how when he was asked if he intended to kill, he said he just wanted to "stop".

Pretty sure firing a gun at someone has only one purpose.

When you make statements as broad as this: "I personally dont believe you should be able to claim self defense when you werent supposed to be there with that weapon anyway tbh"

You don't get to say that you're only referring to this case. That's a broad statement about your beliefs. The logic has to follow. You have to unpack the larger implications.

Which is why I'm asking: do you actually think that being somewhere you "shouldn't be" means that you must allow yourself to be murdered by a group of strangers who want to kill you for no good reason? Does violating one (nonviolent) law automatically void any and all protections afforded to you by other laws?

Or do you just want to see Kyle Rittenhouse put in prison, and that's the only argument you can make to support your goal?

I thought you needed some education to be a prosecutor. If they're really going down the "It's that darn GTA!" route, even I could make a better argument.

And I'm absolutely not qualified to be a prosecutor.
