| Subject: Prosecutors likely won't be able to show Kyle Rittenhouse link to Proud Boys, judge says Mon Sep 20, 2021 2:40 am | |
| KENOSHA — The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case indicated to attorneys Friday that despite the firestorm that has grown around the case, he will be keeping the focus on the law.
“This is not a political trial, this is not going to be a political trial,” Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder told the attorneys.
Lawyers for both the prosecution and defense said they believe they will be ready for the case to go to trial as scheduled Nov. 1.
At Friday’s hearing, Schroeder decided a series of motions from the attorneys about evidence that could be presented at trial. Both sides had reason for disappointment, with Schroeder denying motions from both the prosecution and defense.
The prosecution, led by Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger, hoped to introduce evidence that Binger argued showed Rittenhouse’s mindset as a person with a propensity to take violent action in situations in which he was not directly involved, and that showed ties with the Proud Boys, an extreme right wing organization.
“This is an unusual homicide case in the sense that it is not a whodunit,” Binger said. “The question is what was (Rittenhouse’s) state of mind and whether his actions were reasonable or not.”
