Violently tipping the scales is what they are going to get, just not in the direction they had hoped for.

SO, a mistrial means they will have another trial, Hope they acquit with a slap on the hand.

They're asking for a mistrial with prejudice which means there won't be a retrial.

from what I read, they asked last for a mistrial but not with prejudice.

Ahh gotcha, I didn't get to listen much yesterday.

Defense has asked for both, with and without prejudice. Both are still on the table.

They’ve ask twice, maybe three times. With prejudice for sure once. Without for sure once. To note, the judge has not ruled on any of the request. He waiting on the jury, if they do not return a not guilty on all counts he will call a mistrial with prejudice. There’s no way legally he can be convicted in this trial with all the prosecutions gaffs. It’s intentional all the way around.

I didn't think a mistrial could be declared after the jury or judge returns a verdict.

Charges:
1. First Degree Reckless Homicide, Use of a Deadly Weapon (Joseph Rosenbaum)
2. First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, Use of a Deadly Weapon (Richard
McGinnis, reporter for Daily Caller, not injured but near Rosenbaum when Rittenhoue
fired)
3. First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, Use of a Deadly Weapon (unknown male)
4. First Degree Intentional Homicide, Use of a Deadly Weapon (Anthony Huber)
5. Attempt First Degree Intentional Homicide, Use of a Deadly Weapon (Gaige
Grosskreutz)
6. Possession of a Dangerous Weapon by a Person under the Age of 18 (JUDGE DISMISSED THIS COUNT ON THE DAY OF CLOSING ARGUMENTS)
7. DISMISSED AT THE END OF STATE”S CASE. Prosecution failed to put evidence in front of the jury that there was a lawful curfew in place (appears to be an oversight by prosecution) Defense moved to dismiss, judge agreed. Fail to Comply with Order of Local Government - Emergency Management Activity (citation, carries no penalty) - everyone present was breaking the 7pm curfew issued by the sheriff.

Possible Sentence: Max: Life in Prison Without Parole (WI does not have the DP)

Hell I made that up. I don’t know. I think the judge has full discretion.

If the jury comes back with any kind of guilty verdict the judge will declare a miss trial with Prejudice, I think the judge is tired of the ADA's BS and wants to get this over with for good!

That is hilarious.

Wins the Internet today!!
