Today’s defense made an unwise move and put Kyle Rittenhouse in the witness stand.
However, the prosecution has continued to implode throughout the trial. Judge Bruce Schroeder let them keep it because of their illegal actions.
The defense objected to the prosecution commenting on the defendant’s right to remain silent. The Judge then reprimanded the prosecution for making such inappropriate comments. It is not the intention of the prosecution to discuss or draw conclusions regarding whether it should remain silent or speak out.
Here’s the judge calling it a “grave constitutional violation.”

“The problem is this is a grave constitutional violation for you to talk about the Defendant’s silence.”

But the judge didn’t stop there. The judge continued his attack on the prosecutor.
Holy f**cking shit the judge just completely snapped at the Kyle Rittenhouse prosector:
“I was stunned when you started your examination commenting on defendant’s silence after arrest. It’s fundamental law. For 40, 50 and more years it has been the basic law. pic.twitter.com/BeWwcX4GH3

Wow. When the judge says “it gives…” and then says he’ll stop, the judge is saying that this gives the defense an argument for a mistrial. But at this point, given how the case has spooled out and the lack of evidence that the prosecution has, they don’t want a mistrial, they want an acquittal and to be done with the case.
We have already mentioned that the defense could request a directed verdict if the prosecution has not proven its case.
We’ll stay tuned, but it’s already heating up.
