Rittenhouse Lawyers Demand Mistrial With Prejudice, Judge Says Prosecutors Aren’t Operating ‘On Good Faith’

The defense team for Kyle Rittenhouse have called for a mistrial with prejudice, citing prosecutorial misconduct. The judge in the case lambasted the prosecution team for not operating on “good faith.”

Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who allegedly shot three individuals during a riot in Kenosha last year, is currently on trial for murder of two of them. During the trial, the prosecution team engaged in various actions that resulted in them being lambasted by Judge Bruce Schroeder.

After Thomas Binger, the attorney for the prosecution, commented on Rittenhouse exercising his 5th Amendment rights before the trial. In response, Schroeder declared it was a “grave constitutional violation for you to talk about the defendant’s silence. You’re right on the borderline. You may be over it, but it better stop.”
