From his opening remarks to Closing Statement, Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger Not only did he make mistakes, as traditional media like to call them, he did step on the mud and kept Wading to his knees.
My colleagues Nick Arama and Jim Thompson are working lawyers, not just playing them on TV. Together with the other writers who covered the trial of Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse, they provided a good analysis of how serious Bing Grid performed an already fragile case that shouldn’t have been tried. .
From Jim Thompson’s analyze:
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger’s opening statement sounded more like a closing statement, and I think the defense might do the opposite. Binger claimed that Rosenbaum did not hunt Rittenhouse—on the contrary, Rittenhouse was the hunter. This is an important proposition. In the opening statement, you should address what the evidence will show. If Rittenhouse were the hunter, that would justify the murder charge. However, he is not a suitor. No video supports this-in fact, quite the opposite.
Both Thompson and Arama pointed out that Binger seemed to want to defend the defense not only through his actions, but also through the questions he asked witnesses.
From Nick Alama analyze:
Binger tries to get Richie McGinniss from Daily Caller Said Rosenbaum had fallen to the ground When he was shot. Remember-McGinnis should be a witness for the prosecution. McGinnis said this was not his testimony, insisting that Rosenbaum “rushed” at Rittenhouse.
This is how weak their case is—their own witnesses are providing golden evidence to help the defense. Binger should stop this embarrassment. But he didn’t. Then he did something that lawyers were taught to never do-never ask a question that you don’t know the answer to.
Prosecutor: You don’t know what Rosenbaum is thinking or doing.@RichieMcGinnis: “He said fuck you, and then reached for it [Kyle Rittenhouse’s] arms. “

this British Daily Mail Report This case was deliberately thrown on Binger’s lap because Kenosha County District Attorney Mike Graveley knew it was a weak case and he didn’t want to leave a stain on his rock star record.
Prosecutor’s choice Kyle RittenhouseThe murder case of may be an accurate indicator of how confident the county prosecutor is in the conviction.
Mike Graveley of Kenosha County will usually handle the case himself, but will pass it on to assistant DA Thomas Binger, who the state of Wisconsin Has been marked as a mistake and a conflict with Judge Bruce Schroeder.
“Binger is doomed to fail,” a Kenosha legal insider told Dailymail.com. “Graveley is a superstar, and he knows that this person will defile it.”
Although his designer pants and shoes stinks when wading in the trash he made himself, Binger seems to plan to make the most of his 15 minutes, swinging the fence every time he commits a foul.
Ice tray seems to have no problem hiding the truth from the jury.On more than one occasion, he was content to anger Judge Bruce Schroeder, as Fox News Report:
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger raised some cross-border questions or made immoral hints during the cross-examination.
Rittenhouse’s lawyers also accused Binger of commenting on his client’s right to remain silent about the case. Binger responded to this by stating that the defendant is adjusting his testimony based on the details already presented in the court.
This also angered Schroeder, who called talking about the defendant’s silence and warning him that it was “better to stop” as a “serious violation of the Constitution.”
“This is basically the basic law of this country, 40 years, 50 years,” Schroeder said. “I don’t understand why you did that.”
this British Daily Mail farther Report In another incident, Binger presented information that Judge Schroeder had deemed inadmissible:
During the trial, Schroeder reprimanded Binger for providing information about Rittenhouse’s history of using AR-15 rifles that he had previously been barred from appearing in court. Two weeks before the shooting, an incident was recorded in the video in which Rittenhouse talked about shooting a man he believed was burglary in a drugstore.
Schroder has ruled that the video is inadmissible.
“You are an experienced trial lawyer. When the judge said,’I exclude this,’ you told me that you decided to introduce it because you think you have found a solution to it,” Schroeder asked. ‘bring it on! ‘
Bingcu replied: “If you want, you can yell at me. I act in good faith.
Judge Schroeder replied: “I don’t believe you. When you say you acted in good faith, I don’t believe you. It’s better not to have other incidents.
As Rittenhouse’s lawyer Mark Richards argues, whether the accusation is trying to force the trial to be invalid, or whether he just wants to continue “chaotic exploration” to challenge the right to armed self-defense is still a question of speculation. . Pre-trial hearing.
Richards said: “The government can continue their chaotic task, but the evidence is clear.”
The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is not the first time Binger has made such allegations. These allegations failed to gain a foothold in the review, and the state ended up being… a hip wader.
In 2017, Wisconsin tried to accuse a commercial truck driver of carrying hidden weapons without permission.
From August 30, 2017, Milwaukee sentinel article:
A case that might clarify whether you can drive with a gun in Wisconsin was dismissed on Monday, and the case is scheduled for trial day.
The question is whether you can drive with a loaded pistol even without a hidden carrying permit.
Guy A. Smith, a 52-year-old commercial truck driver from Merrill Lynch, agrees with gun rights organizations that you can. This is why when the inspector entered his large drilling rig at a weighing station in Pleasant Meadows in June 2016, he said that he had made no effort to hide his revolver.
The inspector saw it on the floor of his cab through an overhead camera, then approached Smith and accused him of carrying a hidden weapon, a misdemeanor, and confiscated his gun.
Smith is represented by John Monroe of Georgia lawyer He successfully defended many gun rights advocates, including those accused of publicly carrying guns before Wisconsin passed Section 35, which first allowed concealed guns to be carried.
The Wisconsin Carry Inc. organization paid for Smith’s defense because it believed it might eliminate some confusion among law enforcement agencies.
Monroe said in an email on Monday: “This allegation should not be brought up because the legislature changed the law in 2011 to allow pistols to be opened and loaded in cars.” “Carrying hidden weapons is no longer applicable Crime of pistol in the car.
In this case, the state dropped the charges before the trial.
“We are very happy that the country wakes up before wasting taxpayers’ money on trials,” Monroe said, “even if the country did not politely tell us that it will dismiss the case and go to Kenosha before we are ready for the trial.”
Assistant area lawyer At the November hearing, Thomas Ice Tray, Suggesting that Smith can easily obtain a hidden carrying permit.
After that hearing, Smith said he didn’t get one because he didn’t need it.
“I’m just a truck driver trying to survive,” he said. “I want my gun, I don’t want a record, and I don’t pay a fine. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Ice Tray In court on Tuesday, he could not immediately be reached for comment.
Binger seems to want to develop case law to suit his gun control fantasies, rather than case law based on actual precedents. He also seems to think that wasting the time and money of the country and taxpayers is an appropriate legal strategy, not a fatal flaw.
Binger is no stranger to the legal industry. He graduated from Michigan Law School 25 years ago and has more than 12 years of experience in the state’s prosecutors. Binger served in the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office from 1999 to 2005, where he was promoted to Assistant District Attorney.
Oddly enough, he left Milwaukee County DA in 2005 to become DeMark, Kolbe & Brodek Law’s director of litigation. He worked for this company until 2014, and then resumed his “public service” job after joining the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office.
According to another British Daily Mail articleIn 2016, Binger ran for the Racine County District Attorney as a Democrat, but lost the election.
After seeing his performance in this trial, I was thinking about how he was promoted to Assistant District Attorney. But when you are a Democrat, failure seems to be part of the plan.
In the past 15 years, I have seen countless prosecutors like Thomas Binger. They are the most dangerous participants in our criminal justice system. The small and sad losers can’t make a dime in private practice, but by virtue of their positions, they have gained tremendous power.

Some people want to know whether Bingge thinks this case will improve his qualifications to get a higher position, maybe bigger and better things. If that is his career strategy, then he deceives himself like he is incompetent. Poor judgment and improper handling of major trials are failures, and should be eliminated, not promoted.
When the jury makes a verdict, many things will be revealed.
