One of many central figures within the shootings of August 25, 2020, in Kenosha, WI, was the man the prosecution known as “Soar Kick Man.” As Rittenhouse lies flat on his again on the road, “Soar Kick Man” races up and, properly, lands a bounce kick on Rittenhouse’s head. You possibly can see him in the fitting foreground sporting white trousers as this video begins.
Rittenhouse fires at the very least one shot at that assailant. Nevertheless, that assault ensured that Lefty Grosskreutz might meet up with Rittenhouse, menace him with a loaded weapon he illegally possessed, and get shot. Capturing at Drop Kick Man is Rely #3, Reckless Endangerment, in Rittenhouse’s indictment.
This man was recognized solely as “Drop Kick Man,” and the prosecution left the impression he had not been recognized all through the trial.
Pardon my shocked face as I report back to you that not solely is the identification of “Drop Kick Man” recognized, it was recognized earlier than the trial ended (in actuality, they nearly definitely knew earlier than it began), he provided to testify for the prosecution, and so they turned down his provide, and so they by no means shared that data with the protection.
A profession prison and convicted felon with an open home violence cost has claimed to be the unidentified male at whom Kyle Rittenhouse shot twice at shut vary however missed, on the night time of August 25, 2020.
Rittenhouse has been charged with First Diploma Recklessly Endangering Security of the person recognized in trial solely as ‘jump-kick man,’ for the flying kick he took on the teenager’s head as Rittenhouse was attacked minutes after he shot Joseph Rosenbaum lifeless.
Now Maurice Freeland, 39, has admitted that he was the one who kicked Rittenhouse within the head and narrowly prevented being shot in consequence, after the then 17-year-old stumbled to the bottom as he tried to flee.
…
Now it has emerged that the identical is true of ‘jump-kick man’ who was on bond that night time for an alleged assault on his girlfriend that included kicking her within the ribcage having thrown her to the ground.
Freeland made his declare to being the ‘unidentified complainant,’ within the second of the 5 counts over which the jury is at present deliberating, to native information web site Wisconsin Proper Now.
WISN 1130 discuss radio host Dan O’Donnell broke the story that prosecutors had recognized the person Tuesday, however didn’t identify him.
It isn’t recognized when the state realized Freeland’s identification, however it has been confirmed that he had needed immunity earlier than he would testify, and that Assistant District Legal professional Thomas Binger wouldn’t grant it.
Not solely was he recognized to the prosecution, the quantity two prosecutor on the case, James “Doughnut Boy” Kraus, had prosecuted him at the very least twice, and his final conviction was earlier than this present choose.
Good Lorty! Kraus was prosecutor on Freeland case in 2016. Kraus & Binger boss, Deputy DA Carli McNeill is prosecutor in present circumstances v Freeland and DA Gravely was prosecutor in circumstances v Freeland 2018/2019.

I’m not saying that realizing his identification would have been a game-changer within the trial, however it might have been evident that each shot fired by Rittenhouse that night time was aimed toward a convicted felon who was attacking him. One has to assume that might have made a distinction.
Suppressing the true identify of “Drop Kick Man” merely makes the persecution of Kyle Rittenhouse extra constant.
All of his assailants have been felons. There was the psycho baby rapist, the home abuser, the perennial DUI, an unlawful firearm possessor, and a felon out on bond.
The prosecution stored up its report of appearing unethically and immorally. The lackwit “first chair” on the case, Binger, engaged in a grave constitutional violation, the choose’s phrases, not mine, when he tried to get the jury to deduce guilt from Rittenhouse’s pre-trial silence. He lied relentlessly. He barely knew his ass from a scorching rock. He hid proof from the protection (Rittenhouse Trial Delves Into if Clearer Video Was Withheld From Protection). In a approach, we should be grateful for the jiggling lump of gelatinous failure that was Doughnut Boy, his quantity two for the comedian reduction.
The choose talked an enormous recreation, however when it got here time to truly make choices that wanted to be made, he grew to become simply one other clown within the circus, letting the prosecution do regardless of the hell it needed to do regardless of his play-to-the-camera scoldings.
“Soar kick man” recognized? And did the prosecution KNOW WELL who he was , however fail to show over the thug’s identify to the protection till the top of the trial? In that case, disbar these attorneys. https://t.co/ovjwpUieOj @wisconsin_now
