Last week, Binger was reprimanded multiple times by Judge Bruce Schroeder over two violations of court procedure, one of which risked violating Rittenhouse\u2019s Fifth Amendment rights, according to the judge. As The Daily Wire reported:Later on during Binger\u2019s examination, the judge sent the jury out again after the prosecutor began to veer into a line of questioning that Binger did not approve with Schroeder beforehand, and that Schroeder had suggested he would forbid in pretrial hearings. The second infraction brought an explosion from the judge over the first, and Schroeder again ripped into Binger for potentially violating Rittenhouse\u2019s rights protected under the Constitution.\u201cI was astonished when you began your examination by commenting on the defendant\u2019s post-arrest silence. That\u2019s basic law. It\u2019s been basic law in this country for 40 years, 50 years. I have no idea why you would do something like that! And it gives, well, I\u2019ll leave it at that. So I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re up to,\u201d Schroeder said.\u201cI have to be concerned that, with what Mr. Richards has said about the progress of the trial when you were way, well, I said you were close to or over the line on commenting on the defendant\u2019s pretrial silence, which is a well-known rule,\u201d the judge later added. \u201cI am astonished that that would have been an issue. So I don\u2019t want to have another issue for as long as this case continues. Is that clear?\u201d\u201cIt is,\u201d Binger replied before the jury was again brought back to the courtroom.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
