That policy is in effect in San Francisco. In some cities, left-wing prosecutors have already stopped prosecuting property crimes such as shoplifting. The Left wants to end mandatory minimum sentences, the death penalty, and other sentencing practices that are meant to deter crime. Scott immediately returned home and murdered his wife. Louis Bail Project, a left-wing nonprofit, paid $5,000 to bail out an accused domestic abuser named Samuel Lee Scott. That “reformist” ideal played out exactly how one might expect in 2019, when the St. Some groups exist solely to pay the bail of those violent alleged criminals. They want to end bail completely, even for violent alleged criminals. Left-wing activist groups do everything in their power to keep illegal aliens from deportation-even ones who have committed other crimes on American soil in addition to crossing the border illegally in the first place. The Rittenhouse trial has done wonders to expose the Left’s true agenda for what it calls “criminal justice reform.” But I found Schroeder to be quite competent, every now and then pausing to give both parties a folksy lesson in Wisconsin law, citing decades-old case law from memory. “Judge Schroeder has proven himself to be both incompetent and blatantly biased,” Independent columnist Ahmed Baba said. (Incidentally, Avery’s trial is another infamous Wisconsin criminal justice railroading).īut Schroeder’s skepticism of the state was totally unacceptable to the Left. As Rittenhouse sat in that courtroom, he was presumed innocent of any crime.ĭean Strang, the attorney for Steven Avery of “ Making a Murderer ” fame, eloquently noted that the state is supposed to start each prosecution swimming upstream against the current that is the presumption of innocence. The state bears the burden of proof that the defendant is guilty. Judge Schroeder was, at times, openly skeptical of the prosecution. It was dropped before closing arguments on Friday. The charge shouldn’t have been brought in the first place. There is no law in Wisconsin barring 17-year-olds from carrying rifles, despite what CNN’s legal “experts” and Kenosha’s prosecutors may wish were the case. His father and several other relatives live in Kenosha).Īnd what about that “illegal assault rifle?”īinger argued for the entire trial that Rittenhouse was in illegal possession of a firearm on August 25, 2020, an extension of the left-wing punditry’s sensational assertion. For Binger, jailing Rittenhouse seemed downright personal.ĬNN’s chief Zoom masturbator and legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin suggested that everyone involved with the trial was racist, wondering what the outcome would be “ if the defendant were a Black seventeen year old from another state who killed two people with an illegal assault weapon?” (Kenosha, it should be noted, is 20 minutes from Rittenhouse’s home in Antioch, Illinois. On and on, this type of behavior continued. Again Schroeder paused the trial for a tirade against Binger, and for a brief moment, became so angry that another homicide in Kenosha seemed imminent. Later the same day, Binger attempted a line of questioning on a subject that had been ruled out-of-bounds before the trial began. That fact wasn’t lost on Judge Bruce Schroeder, who stopped the trial to loudly admonish Binger for intentionally skirting ethical guidelines. Hell, I dropped out of law school, and even I know that.īinger knows that, too. A criminal defendant has a Fifth Amendment right to silence, and implying guilt from that silence is, in layman’s terms, a big no-no. It’s as if he was booked for the gig by Central Casting.Īfter opening his cross examination of Rittenhouse with a line of questioning about his post-arrest silence, Binger nearly blew the case. He is, however, the archetype of a greasy lawyer. The ringleader of the circus is a state prosecutor called Thomas Binger, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the character Donkey from the “Shrek” films, and perhaps luckily for Rittenhouse, has a lower IQ. A regular kangaroo court has been in session in Kenosha County, Wisconsin for weeks. But only when the person in the defendant’s chair isn’t considered a political enemy.Īfter quite clearly acting in self-defense, Kyle Rittenhouse has been dragged through a sham trial. I have often heard folk tales about how the Left used to be skeptical of state power.
