On Monday of this week, the prosecutors in the case of Kyle Rittenhouse called as their main witness Gaige “Lefty” Grosskreutz. Grosskreutz was examined directly by Thomas Binger, who said that Grosskreutz engaged in sexual and other grooming activities. But the cross-examination produced actual evidence. Grosskreutz admitted on the witness stand and under oath that Kyle Rittenhouse did not shoot him until he pointed a pistol he was illegally carrying at Rittenhouse’s face. Side note: Grosskreutz was not charged with any firearms offences. But, Rittenhouse claimed that Rittenhouse broke law when he was 17, and he carried a weapon in a state where 10-year olds can obtain hunting licenses. If you are interested in the nuances of Wisconsin’s gun law, defense attorney Andrew Branca of the Law of Self Defense blog has a superb write-up here.
This is the video and story of Bonchie, my coworker. The Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Could Be Over After Today’s Bombshell Testimony.
Grosskreutz, who was accompanied by his attorney, made an appearance on Good Morning, America. He, like most people, makes fun of Rittenhouse in this interview and claims to be a victim. He’s not a victim. He’s communist, Antifa scum who brought on himself what happened on that Kenosha street.
He admits to GMA that he was shot by Rittenhouse after he pointed his illegal weapon at Rittenhouse. Then, it is amazing, he says that he wasn’t pointing the weapon.
Grosskreutz admitted to it when it was most important, but other than the fear of being perjury charged.
His attorney is a high-profile “human rights” lawyer whose representation has nothing to do with Grosskreutz’s multi-million dollar lawsuit against Kenosha because he was shot while peacefully rioting.
Yesterday, he visited CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 to reprise the story he told on GMA. Bonchie explains this detail in The It Sure Looks Like A Key Witness in Kyle Rittenhouse Trial for Perjury.
He claims that he was shot at 1:43 while his arms were still in the air.
Grosskreutz lies as shown by the video. The video also shows that Grosskreutz’s claim that Rittenhouse, while laying his back on the road, pulled the trigger, the weapon misfired, and Rittenhouse had to “rack’ the weapon, that is, pull back on the charging handle and release it, before firing the shot that winged Grosskreutz is just an outlandish fabrication that either Grosskreutz dreamed up or was concocted by the prosecution and fed to Grosskreutz to be used on the witness stand. The video does not capture this, and the evidence of forensics doesn’t include any.223 caliber rounds found on the roadway with the primer indented.
Given the mounds of evidence contradicting his newly discovered “truth,” why did he go on national television and recant his under-oath testimony?
The answer is simple I think. Jury tampering. He gave the interviews while it was still being conducted. The trial resumes Monday. They are not being sequestered. Despite being told to not discuss the case or to read it, it’s hard to believe some jurors are following it on social media. Grosskreutz is trying to get a message out to the jurors, either directly or through people in contact with them, that he “misspoke” on the witness stand. Grosskreutz isn’t ignoring this matter. Grosskreutz tries to pretend he had some sort of calling to save lives, and the media called him a “trained paramedic.” There is zero evidence that Grosskreutz has ever been employed as a paramedic. Grosskreutz was convicted of being drunk while armed. It is unlikely that any paramedic would hire him. He is currently dependent on Kyle Rittenhouse’s conviction and the outcome of his $10 million lawsuit against Kenosha. Grosskreutz’s best hope is that Rittenhouse will be acquitted. He would then receive a low-priced book deal from an obscure lefty publisher and the remainder of his life as a convenience store clerk. If Rittenhouse is acquitted because of Grosskreutz’s sworn testimony, then his future is grim indeed because even Antifa will shun him.
