1. Gee...I thought these things were meant to be ultra-polite

as in, "My learned friend has misrepresented the evidence," or, "The distinguished prosecutor evidently does not understand the situation at hand." I think the judge should admonish the defense attorney. But I'm not a lawyer, so what do I know?

4. it happens

more than you think but yes it absolutely should be admonished on the spot...having said that, prosecution can use that to their advantage on rebuttal if they are good.

When you make wild claims like that while the other person gets the last word, you risk looking real stupid.

2. Yeah, he comes across as an aggressive asshole.

3. Who is on trial here?

The defense attorney attacking the victims..

5. "An officer of the court NEVER calls another attorney a LIAR. That is a reportable offense to the S

I really do not know if this is true or not. Should be IMHO


Replying to
@KatiePhang
Kyle RITTENHOUSE’s lawyer knows that the ADA gave a tremendous closing, accurately pegging the defendant as the ACTIVE SHOOTER/MURDERER that he is.

An officer of the court NEVER calls another attorney a LIAR.

That is a reportable offense to the State Bar.

7. I only listened a few minutes to the defense attorney

but the prosecutor seemed way more likeable, eloquent and despite the topic, his style of presentation was pleasant to listen to. I guess it doesn't play that big of a rule for the jury but the defense attorney is the exact opposite.

8. The prosecutor

The prosecutor opened himself up to such statements by making demonstrably false claims in his opening statement that were shown to be wrong by the FBI drone footage.

So he was either lying or he was not familiar with the evidence in the case he was trying. I'm not sure which is worse...

Between this and the dropped gun possession charge that could have been avoided by using a simple measuring tape, the prosecution has really botched this case from the beginning.

9. Did the prosecutor object when he was called a liar?

I didn't see it.

10. Sounds like the defense got ... defensive ... good sign

11. Juries don't like such nonsense.

One of my hard and fast rules is to never call someone a liar before a jury.

You point out the facts and let the jury come to its own conclusions.
