As we reported earlier, the judge in the Rittenhouse trial blasted the prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger, for commenting on Kyle Rittenhouse’s silence despite the right to remain silent. Judge Bruce Schroeder attacked him by pointing out that it was well-established law and that he, as an experienced prosecutor should be able to see the truth.
The judge also had a problem with the prosecutor because he tried to use evidence that he said was exempted. He chastised him for not asking. “Don’t get brazen with me!” the judge shouted at Binger.

According to the judge, he did not hear anything during the trial that would have changed his mind regarding his rulings. Therefore the prosecutor was unable to allow him to ask for the evidence. “You know very well,” the judge chastised Binger, saying he knows to ask outside the presence of the jury if he had a question and wanted to ask if it was alright to present the evidence. “There’s nothing in your case suggesting that defendant was lying in wait to shoot anyone,” Judge Schroeder said.
Binger then tries to argue that he thought the evidence he was trying to get in hadn’t been included in the judge’s prior ruling so that he had room to bring it up on his cross-examination of Rittenhouse. “My good faith feeling this morning after watching that testimony was, you had left the door open a little bit, now we had something new and I was going to probe it,” Binger argued.
“I don’t believe you,” the judge said. “There’d better not being another incident.” He then said to the defense, “I’ll take that motion under advisement,” referring to their motion for a mistrial with prejudice. “And you can respond,” he says to Binger. “When you say you were acting in good faith, I don’t believe you,” Schroeder said, lowering the boom on Binger.
Binger was correct to believe that, even if the evidence were within the range of what the judge stated, he should have requested permission from the judge for any unreliable evidence. But he didn’t which is why the judge wasn’t believing he was acting in good faith. He just wanted to enter the evidence and he wasn’t going to let the ruling stop him. That’s basically what the defense was saying in arguing for a mistrial with prejudice because the prosecutor was allegedly acting improperly with purpose to prevent an acquittal.
So we’ll have to see how the judge comes decides on that motion, but it’s very clear that he’s had enough of Binger and all his tricks. Meanwhile, you know how far down the rabbit hole some in the liberal media have been going when they lose their minds over the judge having “God Bless the USA” as the ringtone on his phone because President Donald Trump has played that at his rallies. This is clearly a conspiracy! What would anyone do to like the song? That’s where we’re at with how they are reporting on this trial.
