As a prosecutor, your role is to protect the rights of the state and to ensure justice. That means that the point of the prosecution isn’t necessarily winning — it is that justice. If, for example, the prosecutor has exculpatory evidence — evidence that will clear the defendant — the prosecutor is required to turn that over to the defense.
Prosecutors are expected to be truthful in the interests of justice.
Therefore, I would like to ask the prosecutor some questions about the opening statements he made in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
According to the evidence in the video, Joseph Rosenbaum chased Rittenhouse. He even tried throwing a bag in his direction. Rosenbaum then allegedly tried to grab Rittenhouse’s gun according to witness Richie McGinnis of the Daily Caller, and Rittenhouse fired in self-defense, killing Rosenbaum. Rittenhouse shot and killed two more people as he chased after them, wounding one of them.
It’s all here. Rittenhouse’s attorney, John Pierce, has said that people were chasing him because he was trying to put out fires that had been set.
And to focus just on those moments, here’s Rosenbaum chasing Rittenhouse into the parking lot.

But you wouldn’t know that from what the prosecutor said. Indeed, the lead prosecutor, Thomas Binger, said that Rosenbaum was shot after it was Rittenhouse who chased him down — a complete reversal of the facts in those final moments as we understand them from the video.

He claims Rittenhouse pursued Rosenbaum around :40.
According to Townhall’s Julio Rosas, the prosecutor claims that there’s FBI video to support his claim.
Binger claimed that infrared footage taken by an FBI plane shows Rittenhouse following Rosenbaum to the car lot. Though he admits “we don’t know exactly what was going on at that very moment. We don’t know what words were said.”

As Rosas — who was there reporting and taking video that night — notes, Rosenbaum was also being aggressive with other people trying to defend the stores that night.
Rittenhouse’s defense team just played my video in their opening statement to establish how Rosenbaum was being aggressive towards the armed civilians protecting businesses the night of the shooting. https://t.co/TutwBrLoYQ

We now have the alleged new video that the prosecutor is talking about and you can draw your own conclusions, but to me, it just lends credence to Rittenhouse’s defense. I don’t see him “chasing him,” he is behind him at a different point, asking if anyone needs medical attention because Rittenhouse had been acting as a medic that night offering help to people. He appears in close proximity to Rosenbaum, and Rosenbaum follows him.

He seems to think that this will only serve his defence and show that he is offering assistance to others.
