He was in the line of fire, and there exists plenty of evidence of this.
From video to witness testimony.
There is evidence. What it's of is up to a jury. Whether it gets to be up to a jury is up to the judge. Something like that.
Indeed.
Seems silly that any time there is a person killed, it must go to a trial no matter the circumstance.
That seems silly?
I think it's good for the system personally.
I just wish it wasn't so expensive for people.
Then don't come to Texas!
I'd expect the same for any time police have to shoot someone, they too should be going to court.
Or at least have a grand jury determine if they should.
Rather than a DA.
It doesn't always go to court but if it is reasonably questionable, we should want it examined in a court of law. Kinda like voter fraud.
Like, everyone should want that for all kinds of reasons.
I think Rittenhouse's case should have first gone to a grand jury tbh
Agreed
I think the fact the DA is in charge of prosecuting officers is... questionable to say the least.
It should be handled by the grand jury imho.
Too open to corruption otherwise.
And even with a grand jury, it's still open to corruption.
I still want to see the ballistics report on the first shooting. It is not clear from the video that Kyle was the shooter. Not saying he wasn't, just that it isn't clear.
I have no doubt it was him that shot and killed Rosenbaum.
If a jury sees the ballistics report, we will too.
As I'm sure the coroner didn't either, which is why they didn't really offer much of a statement suggesting otherwise.
Many believe that. There is often a quarter inch gap between what people believe and reality.
They do check the projectile type and damage inflicted.
Kyle was using very specific ammo.
If you say so.
(It's the reason Gaige's arm ended up the way it did)
And why it was so lethal.
It was purpose-built rapid expansion fragmentation ammo for SD.
All of these things are establishable through due process. I'm not 100% sure what makes anyone want to preclude that but I recognize that some do.
Like, it goes beyond your typical 5.56 JHP round.
This was more like RIP ammo.
So it was likely SP ammo.
Either that or extremely light JHP.
Doesn't it have to go the other way around?
the prosecutor has to prove that he wasn't?
at least from what I remember from reading Branca
Don't believe so no.
As self-defense is an affirmative defense.
