As we wrote earlier, the prosecution’s closing argument was full of a lot of false information seemingly intent on misleading the jury as to the law of self-defense — saying that you lost the right to self-defense if you have a gun and you can’t claim self-defense if the person who you shot was unarmed.
The prosecution also claimed that Joseph Rosenbaum, the first man shot and killed, didn’t threaten Rittenhouse or try to take his gun. The prosecutor claimed Rittenhouse fired before Rosenbaum got close. That completely contradicted the testimony of the prosecutions own witnesses.
The prosecutor even pointed the AR-15 with his finger on the trigger at the jury and people in the courtroom without checking the gun as he talked about Rittenhouse being reckless with his gun. Speaking of reckless…
Compared to a closing argument that was false and all over the block, the defense was much more measured in its response.
We should feel a deep sense of shame to know that we have prosecutors with morals in the dumpster, willing to connive, cheat and lie to further a political narrative, namely that shared by leftist Dems, BLM and Antifa.
