Judge buys Rittenhouse lawyer’s inane argument that Apple’s pinch-to-zoom manipulates footage

He desperately searched for a "neutral" third party, then just said fuck it in the absence of one and tainted the jury pool by encouraging adulation of a defense witness. Get this fucker off the bench yesterday.
I really hate how we're at this stage where old people completely ignorant of the capabilities of technology are in positions of power.
Or this guy wanted some bullshit to believe in.

To be fair part of this is because the judge said no you can't bring up his ties to a white supremacist group and no you can't enter in to evidence that he mentioned a bit before this night that he wished he had a gun to shoot thieves
The judge and jury fall for the same crying bullshit the cops who assaulted Rodney King pulled in 1994. Time is a literal flat circle for racists; and if Kyle Rittenhouse doesn't get charged for anything, I honestly bet a crispy $5 bill that his head will be on a metaphorical (not physical) platter.
Add this to the list of the past few years where I just feel like I'm on crazy pills. Like, get this dude off the bench yesterday, he's unfit to be a judge.
Even in a case of gross incompetence/ judge is obviously bought/ biased or under influence?
What in the shit fuck is this????? It's so fucked. Can we get an unbiased judge please
Same, shit is infuriating with how blatant they are setting him up to walk free.
I don't even understand the dismissing of Rittenhouse breaking curfew due to of lack of evidence. The alleged crime took place after 11pm and he was a minor who was *alone* in a different state than the one in which he lives at the time of the incident according to accepted testimony that's already been admitted in the case... What more proof do you need? All of that information is already part of the court's record. He was out after curfew.
If this had been part of a tv show or movie everyone would say that it is absolutely unbelievable and ridiculous.
correct. Double jeopardy statutes would apply. The only way they can try him again are if a mistrial is declared (the judge would have to do so, not happening) or in the case of a hung jury
I don't expect a lawyer to be a programmer but they are bullshitting so hard about basic computer facts that they have to be aware of it all.
this guy brought his phone to the prosecution AND SENT A TEXT in the middle of it. What the fuck is this
They seem to be trying to get a mistrial although if it's with prejudice then he gets off and no second trial.
I don't know why everyone is acting so incredulous here. Both the defense and prosecution lawyers are not experts on video imaging and are allowed to bring up concerns about the video evidence. They just had an expert explain how he edited the videos that were accepted as evidence without confounding the quality or possibly introducing artefacts/algorithmic guessing. The prosecution then motioned to have their videos go through the same process and be accepted as evidence and the judge accepted.
This guy is so prejudiced towards Rittenhouse that even if the jury found him guilty, the judge would probably override it and let him go.
Looks like the defense is now arguing about the images edited by another editor. Prosecution is objecting.
You can't appeal a criminal case if you're found not guilty.
Double Jeopardy. They would need to come up with new evidence that supports new charges.
This is it. If he gets off here he's home free.
they're railroading the victims (to the point that they cannot even call them victims in court), rather than the defendant. not something you see too often outside of cases with a very connected, wealthy defendant.
this is a system designed mainly to throw as many people in prison as possible. keep that in mind as we watch these events unfold.

Everyone associated with this case is a complete clown. This whole case is a mockery of justice.
