He was asked why did you go when a curfew was enforced, why did you think there were barricades in the area and what was its purpose, was it to stop people from entering, etc etc.

Did he reply "to give medical assistance if needed because I'm a conscientious citizen"?
His answers were a variation of, the curfew wasn’t being enforced, looking at his lawyer, I can’t recall, all with “I am white trash what do you expect from me” written all over his face.
Bit of a giveaway to any jury?
I think the question is how independent is the witness? It would be like a Big Tobacco case where an expert witness is brought in to settle an issue and it turns out he's been on Big Tobacco's payroll the whole time. It would be reasonable to assume in that case that the testimony would be slanted.
Na if anything it was too obvious.
On the McMichaels trial, watching at the moment and its like looking back in time (apart from the face masks)
Home owner of the property that Arbery visited testifying.

The home owner could have been a character in Paris, Texas.
from listening to a summary from Nate the Lawyer, sounds like straight forward guilty verdict. They have to prove probable cause for their belief that Arbery committed a felony in order to justify a citizen's arrest.
1) they misunderstood the law, even if he had committed a burglary its a misdemeanour
2) they didn't witness anything, just had someone point at him after he left the house

Honestly, the main lawyer for Rittenhouse is so horrible to listen to and he just goes on and on with no point.
Its been a bad few days for the defence.

Expert for the state has described the interpolation as adding pixels.
Binger caught lying to the court again.
I feel bad for this expert for the state.
For all the people saying the Judge is biased. He's allowed in drone footage that is enhanced that the expert cannot give foundation to the accuracy and is about to claim Rittenhouse points a gun at Ziminski that starts the confrontation.
This expert is about to get his arsehole expanded by the defence.

Some more context:
“It shows that the defendant eagerly made assumptions about the intentions of others even though he knew absolutely nothing about what was going on. The video also demonstrates that the defendant fervently sought to insert himself as an armed vigilante into situations that had nothing to do with him.
“Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the video proves that the defendant was ready and willing to use deadly force in a situation where it was completely unjustified,” the motion states.
Along with the new other acts motion, the state earlier filed a motion seeking to admit a video taken from Kenosha’s lakefront weeks before the August shooting that shows Rittenhouse punching a girl who had been in a dispute with his sister. In that video, Rittenhouse punches a young woman from behind, running away when passersby intervene telling him not to “put his hands on a female.”

The judge is definitely biased.
I’d really need to know more context about him beating a woman in the back of the before I decide whether he’s a woman beater.
When he gets let off scott free he'll be quite the empowered lil white supremacist.
So he said I wish I could shoot people with my AR 15 and proceeded to do just that later on.
Or am I missing something?
Or he could have just looked at the example of all the people out there helping the protestors, you know, the ones with medical supplies, water,
Oh, we don't care about that Constitution shit anymore, haven't you been keeping up?
As @Eboue said perfectly, he’ll be a House representative the first election cycle for which he is eligible.
There might be video footage but if it's been enlarged in any way it's automatically false.
A right-wing bias?
Prosecution are adding charges and have confirmed they will be attempting to defeat self defence by provocation.
My guess is the jury will split the baby and convict on some lesser charges now. The last few days have been poor lawyering from the defence - losing the momentum of destroying key states witnesses.
There is video of the altercation, saw it months ago. But there was some zooming.
Thought the prosecution rested, didn’t they?
Rested earlier this week. Defence hasn't been great on their case in chief.
Each side has been doing a great job for the other side. Think the assistant lawyer for the defence has been good on cross examination though.
The lead lawyer for the defence is terrible. Sounds awful, comes across incompetent, babbling and incoherent.
The lead lawyer for the prosecution is just a deceptive slimy weasel - I don't know how any of you trust him and he was a key person for setting out the narrative that got widely adopted in the media
The assistant lawyer for the prosecution is a surly bastard. Genuinely horrible individual who gets mad all the time. Not sure which of the prosecutors is the most arrogant.
The prosecutor is calamitous.
Isn't he an expert witness? Bringing an attorney is weird.
Are people here saying that he will be found guilty, or are they saying that he's a murderer? Quite a big difference.
I assume that's a reference to the fact that boats are backed up and we can't get them unloaded (a reference to his food being late). Not a funny joke but harmless if that was the intent.
The judge is a fecking weirdo.
It's just good WASPy kids playing around.
I do not much care for Sharpton and his optics but this is blatant racist bullshit.
Yeah that is the evidence that Binger tried to get in before the jury without the permission of the court in contempt of the rules.
The judge ruled in pre trial, and again 2 days ago that it is propensity evidence that should be excluded because the only exception would be when it would be so similar as to show a plan or common tactic.
As the judge pointed out, the shootings in this case all take place with seconds to decide while someone is aggressing upon him, which does not have similarity to the comments.
He also mentioned that comments made when someone isn't in a situation with a gun doesn't necessarily mean that is what they would do if they had a gun.
It was a correct ruling under the law. People can judge the comments for themselves in the court of public opinion.

Sorry, misstatement. He didn't rule but he excluded provisionally at pretrial with a view to seeing if it became relevant with more evidence (or context even).
The defence also got denied bringing in the fact Rosenbaum had just got out of a mental institution that day, and was unable to stay at his girlfriends house because of a protective order that he breached to see her that day, in spite of the prosecution opening the door.
The prosecution even at one point said Rosenbaum didn't own a gun which could have opened the door to questions about why - which would have been a way into discussing his felony convictions, which also would be prejudicial to be heard before a jury if not 100% relevant.
“If I had my AR I’d shoot them”
A while later he takes an AR and travels to a place himself in a hostile situation, then actually does shoot someone.
“Nothing alike”
