Possibly to let the jury get pissed at the prosecutor. But I would think that’s already done now.

Never witnessed someone's defense so quiet...

Just sneakin' around....
Maybe they're trying to confuse him and get a different answer to the same question, so they can point and say "ah HA!!!! But you said earlier...."
At this point is I’m sure he’s trying for anything he can get.

That was classic - loved it!PROSECUTOR: "You decided you needed to run because of the fire?
KYLE: "Yes"
PROSECUTOR: "Why? What was so urgent?"
KYLE: "Uh, it was a fire."

I think they are just letting the prosecuting attorney step on his own dong

Some are mocking Kyle now for his breakdown. Personally, I think this is PTSD and if you have never seen it, you shouldn't judge the kid.
Where we are in America today is truly sad. This entire case is why innocent people plead guilty to crimes they didn't commit everyday.

Fox News had that headline about an hour ago but the article only referenced the earlier back and forth about his right to silence so I don't know
Some lawyers on the panel I have been listening to suggested this too. If the judge orders a mistrial with prejudice, it means that it can not be retried. Then Mr. Prosecutor can go out and address the angry mobs and tell them how he did his best; it was the right-wing judge who let the evil murderer go.

That's what I heard them ask for earlier.
The defense team seem extremely incompetent. You typically never allow your client to testify unless there is specific need to do so. Then, if you do allow him to testify, you don't sit there on your hands while the prosecutor eats him alive as one missed objection after another passes by.
From what I have been hearing over the past few months, ever since Kyle came into millions of dollars in contributions for his defense, allegations are out there that he has been surrounded by a cadre of vultures, beginning with Lin Wood and the other guy who was being sued by everyone, including his partners, and owed money to many people.
Attorney Robert Barnes, who is a lawyer who handles many high profile cases, like Alex Jones and Wesley Snipes, says he put together a dream team of lawyers and legal consultants at no cost to Kyle's family. Barnes had jury selection experts analyze the potential jury pool using the databases at their disposal (the intelligence databases that have profiles of each and every one of us based on public data and everything we do online). Data like, are they gun owners and what are their political leanings. Richards and his crew completely ignored their advice and Barnes claims there are now jurors seated who have a good likelihood of voting against Kyle.
Last I heard from Barnes a few days ago, Richards had completely put Barnes and his team out to pasture. Barnes now speculates that Richards et al only allowed Barnes to become affiliated with the defense to use his good name for fundraising.
Barnes also said that there is a cocoon wrapped around Kyle and his mother so that no one can get near them to let them know that they are being railroaded by their attorneys who won't let the A Team take, or even share, the field.
I believe Barnes, but of course, it constitutes his personal and professional opinion.

The kid is holding up well under this questioning but I am about 15 minutes behind the live feed so don't ruin it for me!
You know, watching it IMO it's best for the defense to stay out of it. The kid handled himself well and when lawyers are constantly objecting it makes a jury wonder what they're trying to hide. If I were being accused of murder when I was in fact defending myself I'd want to tell my story myself without the lawyers playing their little lawyer games.

As I'm watching this, I'm tending to agree with you. However, I don't think Kyle was coached enough for this grilling.
Those are evil inhuman assh0les. People who cry like little bitches FOR YEARS when their political candidate loses, and they want to mock someone who cries when reliving a traumatic experience - **** them.
If he were overcoached he'd have come across as inauthentic. I think it's good for the jury to see him for who he is.
I'm guessing the reason defense doesn't usually put their guy on the stand is because A) they're guilty; and/or B) they're an illiterate shitbag who won't generate jury sympathy. Personally I think the defendant should always have to take the stand and testify in their own defense. Don't hide behind the slick shysters, let's get a look at 'em.
