US Reported earlier Regarding the heavy testimony of Gaige Grosskreutz in the Rittenhouse trial-the third person shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse. He admitted that Rittenhouse didn’t fire until he rushed towards him and pointed a gun at him. In other words, this is a perfect example of self-defense in interaction.

This is a perfect TV moment, the kind you usually only see in law and order shows, and rarely in real trials.
Many people may be wondering about the “direct judgment” comment mentioned in the first video.
After the prosecution has presented the case, the defense can take action, which is the so-called “Direct judgment.” This means that even if the most favorable interpretation of the evidence presented by the prosecution is carried out, no reasonable jury can rule out reasonable suspicion and find the defendant guilty. The judge can approve the motion in whole or in part on the charges.Rittenhouse He is accused Contained first-degree reckless homicide, using dangerous weapons (shooting Joseph Rosenbaum); first-degree intentional homicide, using weapons (shooting Anthony Huber); two first-degree reckless crimes of endangering safety, using weapons (suspected of endangering two other people while shooting , Reporter Richie McGinniss and the man who kicked Rittenhouse in the head); one count of attempted intentional homicide (in the shooting of Gaige Grosskreutz) and possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under the age of 18. So, for example, a judge may find that the evidence does not support the more serious allegations made in the case-closing the case on these allegations-and proceed to trial on the lesser allegations of possession of weapons.
Given the loopholes in the prosecution case, this is certainly a possibility, because the case seems to have collapsed, and the prosecution seems to have failed to provide evidence to support the more serious allegations at all levels.
In addition to Grosskreutz’s major confession yesterday, he also made a number of other destructive remarks.
Grosskreutz told the police that he Once put down the weapon, Obviously this was not the case, at least when he arrived at Rittenhouse, as the defense pointed out.he still Accepted His concealed carrying license for guns has expired.
Grosskreuz Claim that he did not chase Rittenhouse. The defender showed a photo of him grabbing a pistol as he ran to Rittenhouse. Grosskreutz continues to insist that he is not chasing Rittenhouse. Grosskreutz provided more ammunition for Rittenhouse’s self-defense argument, when he said he was approaching with a gun because he Worried about the safety of Rittenhouse From the man who kicked him in the head and Huber who hit him on the head with a skateboard.
Grosskreuz claim He told the police that he yelled to Anthony Huber-the second person to shoot-to stop attacking Rittenhouse with his skateboard. But the defense asked him “afterwards Zhuge Liang” to admit that this was not true.
The defense also pointed out that Grosskreutz has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Kenosha, demanding compensation for damages and filing a federal lawsuit, which may make him interested in how the criminal trial might help or harm his case. The defense also pointed out that Gross Cruitz did not mention in his two documents that he had a gun.

The defender asked Grosskruts if he had any regrets that night. Grosskreutz denied any. They asked this question because, according to his friend Jacob Marshall’s social media posts, Grosskrutz said he regretted not killing Rittenhouse.
The Ministry of Defense said they asked Grosskruts if he had any regrets about the night he was shot. Grosskreutz said he has no regrets. He saw this, and Grosskrutz said he did not say that he regretted not killing Rittenhouse. Likewise, Marshall will be called to testify this week. pic.twitter.com/5H5M2fhRCo

Grosskreutz claimed that he did not say so. Now, the defense will put Marshall in the stands on Wednesday and try to use him to blame Grosskruts.
Other convincing testimony comes from Kenosha detective Ben Antaramian (Ben Antaramian). Detectives said that Rittenhouse was the only one who fired at his attacker, which once again reinforced the statement of self-defense.
Chirafisi: “The only person he (Rittenhouse) shot” was the one who attacked him?
Antaramian agreed.
“He won’t fire at those people, will he?” (Re: Others are holding metal pipes/sticks)
“correct”

That’s on top of the testimony Has elicited Show that the first person to shoot—Joseph Rosenbaum—threatened that if he caught Rittenhouse alone, chased him, and then grabbed his gun, he would kill Rittenhouse .
It is hard to imagine a more failed prosecution than this.
However, As we observed before, The media did not report on the serious problems that occurred in the inspection program, but paid attention to Grosskreutz’s testimony that he was afraid of his life. They certainly didn’t have a headline saying that he admitted that Rittenhouse only shot him after he rushed towards him and pointed the gun at him.
We will have to see how it continues to unravel, but it doesn’t look good to the prosecutor now, which is a bit of an understatement.
