You're wrong. He has established self-defense.

As a woman, if I were on that jury, and after listening to Kyle, I would vote to acquit.

Self defense was already established by the states’ own star witness. The defense had nothing to gain by putting him on the stand and everything to lose. Luckily, Kyle was a solid witness for himself and the prosecutor is an idiot.

Tboy grew up in a gated community and doesn’t actually know black people. He may know some “bad” white people though

Not the traditional self defense. Defendant has a burden. The presumption of self-defense is underthe Castle doctrine. That doesn’t apply to public spaces. The presumption is Only when the incident occurs in a home vehicle or a persons business. This was in a public space. The burden shift doesn’t apply here. He has to prove self-defense.

I would not have. He looks like a defenseless kid on the side, but significantly tougher on the stand.

He did well but he wasn't helped by his pitiful defense team at all.


They should have objected with "Asked and Answered" at least 250 times.

I’m surprised a motion in lining was not filed regarding the drivers license

Absolutely no relevance to the case and improper impeachment

It wasn’t, but it worked. I wouldn’t have taken that gamble, but he did a damn good job.

he needed to ultimately testify that he believed he was in imminent danger. He needed to establish fear of harm. Would be hard to do without his testimony since Rosenbaum was not in possession of a weapon.

This - he should have been required to testify if his only defense is 'self defense.'

Supposedly, that makes it more difficult for the state to prove intent, because they have the onus to disprove self defense. If the defendant refuses to testify that could look bad for a 'self defense' tactic.

But = I am always on the side of wanting the defendant to testify - especially in murder cases.

And that's the most prevalent thought amongst most other people as well, prospective jurors included, despite their answers during voir dire that they wouldn't hold it against the defendant. If you can, you do. But the reality is that the vast majority of cases brought to trial are not done so because the defendant is absolutely, credibly pronouncing innocence, but rather because they've got such a bad track record that the plea offer being so unfavorable that they may as well take it to trial. Those types certainly aren't the ones you want to call to the witness stand.

In this instance, knowing what we now know about Rittenhouse's personality, composure and confidence, plus simply the fact that he's not guilty of the severe offenses (my opinion) - it would have been malpractice to not provide advice to the client in this particular situation that he should testify.
