Prosecutors wrapped up more than a week of testimony at Kyle Rittenhouse's homicide trial after calling more than a dozen witnesses -- some appearing to help the defense more than the prosecution.
KENOSHA -- Prosecutors wrapped up more than a week of testimony at Kyle Rittenhouse's homicide trial after calling more than a dozen witnesses -- some appearing to help the defence more than the prosecution.
"The case has gone very badly for the prosecution," said Phil Turner, a former federal prosecutor who has followed the trial through the media. "If I catch any of you guys alone tonight I'm going to f--- kill you!" He recalled Rosenbaum shouting. McGinniss also described Rittenhouse as appearing to do all he could to flee and even shouting "friendly, friendly, friendly" at Rosenbaum to convey he meant no harm.
By asking that question, the judge ruled prosecutors opened the door for the defence to ask Swart what the medication was for. Under cross-examination, she told jurors it was for bipolar disorder and depression. Prosecutors also presented evidence contrasting Rittenhouse's actions with others who came armed to the protest but never fired a shot.Jason Lackowski, another armed veteran in Rittenhouse's group, told jurors he saw Rosenbaum as "a babbling idiot" and that he perceived his threats as hollow.Prosecutors had some success in raising doubts about a key defence assertion that Rittenhouse feared his alleged attackers would wrest his rifle away and use it to shoot him.
