It\u2019s so biased. We don\u2019t have justice out there. We have partisan injustice,\u201d he said.The jury in Rittenhouse\u2019s trial is expected to begin deliberations after arguments are wrapped up by the prosecutions and his defense. Rittenhouse is facing six total charges: five felonies and one misdemeanor. The felony charges are intentional homicide, reckless homicide, attempted intentional homicide, and two counts of reckless endangerment. The misdemeanor charge is underage possession of a deadly weapon.The prosecution has ran afoul of the judge in the case, Bruce Schroeder, multiple times throughout the trial. On several occasions, Schroeder stopped the trial and sent the jury out of the courtroom to reprimand Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger during Rittenhouse\u2019s testimony. As The Daily Wire reported:The judge in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse repeatedly admonished the prosecution on Wednesday \u2013 at one point yelling at the lead prosecutor \u2013 for risking a \u201cgrave constitutional violation\u201d during cross-examination of Rittenhouse.Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger ran afoul of Judge Bruce Schroeder multiple times while questioning Rittenhouse. The judge scolded, then exploded, on Binger for commenting on Rittenhouse\u2019s pretrial silence, which risked violating the 18-year-old\u2019s Fifth Amendment rights.Schroeder stopped the trial and sent the jury into a nearby room minutes after Binger had begun his examination of Rittenhouse.\u201cThe problem is this is a grave constitutional violation for you to talk about the defendant\u2019s silence, and that is, you\u2019re right on the borderline. And you may be over, but it better stop,\u201d Schroeder said. \u201cI can\u2019t think of an initial case on it, but this is not permitted.\u201dThe Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
