I still keep seeing the ill formed saying this kid should go to prison for taking a gun across state lines. Also the reply to self defense is he shouldn't have been there.

Just like George Floyd shouldn't have tried to pass fake money and swallow fentanyl .

Especially silly when its been established that the rifle and ammo were kept at his buddy's house...in Wisconsin.

Therefore a mistrial with prejudice is the least of all the evils as to the outcome of this case. The DA can then dump all blame of incompetence on the prosecution team and the witnesses that actually answered the state's questions honestly which (IMO) bolstered the defense.
Can it go to a jury verdict and when and if the judge sees they voted guilty, declare a mistrial, or overrule the verdict, or must he declare a mistrial before any verdict? I wonder.

I've heard of cases where the jury got a guilty verdict so wrong the judge overturned the ruling from the bench. I'm guessing that is likely State dependent.

Would take a motion by the defense, covered by WI 805.14
(5)  Motions after verdict.
(a) Motion for judgment. A motion for judgment on the verdict is not required. If no motion after verdict is filed within the time period specified in s. 805.16, judgment shall be entered on the verdict at the expiration thereof. If a motion after verdict is timely filed, judgment on the verdict shall be entered upon denial of the motion.
(b) Motion for judgment notwithstanding verdict. A party against whom a verdict has been rendered may move the court for judgment notwithstanding the verdict in the event that the verdict is proper but, for reasons evident in the record which bear upon matters not included in the verdict, the movant should have judgment.
(c) Motion to change answer. Any party may move the court to change an answer in the verdict on the ground of insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the answer.
(d) Motion for directed verdict. A party who has made a motion for directed verdict or dismissal on which the court has not ruled pending return of the verdict may renew the motion after verdict. In the event the motion is granted, the court may enter judgment in accordance with the motion.
(e) Preliminary motions. It is not necessary to move for a directed verdict or dismissal prior to submission of the case to the jury in order to move subsequently for a judgment notwithstanding the verdict or to change answer.

‘Straight Up Libelous’: CBS Posts Tweet Claiming Rittenhouse ‘Murdered Two Men’ Ahead Of Trial Verdict






Real Clear Investigations senior writer Mark Hemingway noted, “Again, a lot of Rittenhouse coverage and commentary is straight up libelous.”
The Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney called the CBS tweet politically motivated “slander.” “They will slander you happily if they think you have bad politics,” he tweeted.

“Oh, well, then. No need for trials, CBS News has delivered its verdict!” National Review senior writer Dan McLaughlin sarcastically quipped.

Earlier in the week, multiple media outlets downplayed testimony from Gaige Grosskreutz — whom Rittenhouse has been charged with first-degree attempted homicide for shooting him in the arm — that Grosskreutz had leveled a gun at Rittenhouse before Rittenhouse shot his own. As The Daily Wire reported:
Headlines from most left-leaning outlets focused on Grosskreutz’s statements about fearing for his life, or his claim that he had surrendered to Rittenhouse, even though video shows otherwise and defense questioning also led to him admitting that was not the case.

Democrat Defends Rittenhouse, Slams Political Left’s Reaction To Judge: ‘They Hate America’



“We remember very clearly that immediately after this incident, this tragedy occurred with Kyle Rittenhouse, the mainstream media, pro-Antifa politicians were very quick to say this kid is a white supremacist terrorist,” Gabbard told Lawrence Jones III on “Fox News Primetime.”

“The government absolutely failed to fulfill this most basic responsibility of keeping their community safe,” Gabbard continued. “Kyle Rittenhouse shouldn’t have gone and done what he did. But … you know, he’s a foolish kid who, like others in the community felt like they had no other choice but to step up and to try to do their part to keep people safe.”

Gabbard later called out the political left for attacking the judge in the case after the judge’s cell phone went off during the trial and his ringtone was “God Bless The USA.”

Does anyone know if Kyle is being held in custody during the trial? I noticed after today's arguments, Kyle followed the bailiff out of the back door of the courtroom. A quick online search doesn't tell me anything other than he was out on $2million bail from donations.

Probably letting him out a back door or hiding him in a car to avoid the crazies.
