It was somehow lost when Rittenhouse changed counsel.\u00a0The same footage was also purchased and aired by Tucker Carlson. On November 5th of 2021, the civilian turned over the footage to the state, and the state claims they promptly shared it with the defense.\u00a0Defense attorney Natalie Wisco claims her copy, which was shared with her via email from the same detective who shared it with the state, was about 4MB, whereas it was discovered the state\u2019s version was around 11MB, with significantly sharper image quality.\u00a0She noticed her team\u2019s version of the footage was saved under a different file name than the sharper quality version in possession of the state at the state crime lab.\u00a0She also noticed the metadata of the file showed a different creation time \u2014 21 minutes later \u2014 than the file at the state crime lab.\u00a0Possible ExplanationThe prosecution says they believe the file could have been compressed during the emailing process, and Morning Wire spoke to experts who have confirmed that process could have changed the file name as well.\u00a0At the moment, it\u2019s unclear whether the email server that either the detective or Wisco used compressed the file, but Judge Schroeder said they would need an expert witness to testify about the technological aspect of things.The state pointed out it was the defense that was initially in possession of the file, and they had no reason to think Rittenhouses\u2019s original counsel wouldn\u2019t have shared the footage with the new team. They also claimed the amount of time between receiving the file from the detective and passing it on to the defense was insufficient to have tampered with it, and emphasized the defense did not object to the state\u2019s use of the higher resolution footage or inclusion of it in the case at any point prior to Friday afternoon.\u00a0Outside the courthouse: A 20-year-old man was arrested for battery and a 34-year-old woman for disorderly conduct after isolated scuffles occurred at small protests outside the courthouse.\u00a0Nic Antaya\/Stringer\/Getty Images2) OSHA Suspends Biden Vaccine MandateThe Topline:\u00a0 In an apparent reversal from the Biden administration, OSHA has suspended the implementation of its controversial vaccine mandate for private employers.\u00a0Quote Of The Day: \u201cWhile OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the ETS pending future developments in the litigation.\u201d\u2013 OSHA\u2019s webpageThe SuspensionOn Wednesday, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) suspended implementation of the Biden administration\u2019s controversial vaccine mandate for private employers, which threatens companies with fines of over $100,000 per infraction if they don\u2019t require employees to be vaccinated or tested for COVID.\u00a0The move comes after a federal court blocked the mandate last week, calling it a \u201cstaggering overreach\u201d and likely unconstitutional.\u00a0OSHA\u2019s suspension of the rule is a reversal for the administration, which initially signaled it would move forward with the mandate despite the court\u2019s ruling against it.\u00a0Based on their choice of words, it\u2019s likely they don\u2019t intend to wait until the 6th Circuit reaches a final ruling, and will file a motion to lift the stay. However, the court could still take several weeks, or months, before issuing a ruling.This decision will also likely impact a potential enforcement date, as the mandate was supposed to go into effect on January 4th.\u00a0What\u2019s Next?First, it\u2019s likely there will be an effort by those in favor of the mandate to transfer the case to different courts they consider to be more favorable.\u00a0Second, the Biden administration will likely attempt to have the stay lifted.\u00a0Third, some of the plaintiffs have already filed a petition that the 6th Circuit immediately hear the case en banc \u2013 meaning instead of selecting a panel of three judges, all 16 judges in the 6th Circuit would rule on the case. This would save the court\u2019s and the parties\u2019 time, but that decision is up to the court.Octavio Jones-Pool\/Pool\/Getty Images3) Defendant Testifies In Ahmaud Arbery TrialThe Topline: A defendant in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery took the stand Wednesday to give his side of the story after the prosecution rested their case.Quote Of The Day: \u201cI shot him\u2026He had my gun. He struck me, it was obvious that he was \u2026 attacking me, that if he [would] have [gotten] the shotgun from me, then it was a \u2026 life or death situation.\u201d\u2013Travis McMichael, charged with the murder of Ahmaud Arbery\u00a0The CaseIn February 2020, three white men who lived in a South Georgia neighborhood chased down Ahmaud Arbery, a black man. Travis McMichael, and his father Gregory McMichael, grabbed guns and began pursuing Arbery by car after he ran past their yard, which was near a vacant property. Their neighbor, William \u201cRoddie\u201d Bryan Jr., also followed Arbery in a different car.\u00a0Gregory McMichael, a former police officer and investigator, has said he believed Arbery had recently broken into places in the neighborhood. Last week, jurors saw videos of Arbery walking through the property five separate times between October 25th, 2019, and February 23rd, 2020. The last time was moments before he was chased down and shot by Travis McMichael during a confrontation between the two.\u00a0The case received national attention when a video clip recorded from one of the cars was put out in May 2020.\u00a0All three men are facing multiple charges including murder and aggravated assault. If convicted, they could spend their lives in prison, but they\u2019re pleading not guilty.\u00a0The ProsecutionHead prosecutor Linda Dunikoski said, \u201cAll three of these defendants did everything they did based on assumptions \u2014\u00a0 not on fact, not on evidence, on assumptions.\u201d\u00a0Jurors were shown photos of the shirt Arbery was wearing when he was shot, which was completely red, presumably from his blood since video shows it had been white.\u00a0The jury was also able to see close-up pictures of his face.\u00a0A forensic pathologist who conducted an autopsy on Arbery\u2019s body testified that he concluded Arbery was shot at close range.\u00a0The DefenseThe defense called defendant Travis McMichael to the stand on Wednesday, and he gave an emotional testimony.\u00a0\u00a0It appears they will state the shooting was self-defense after an attempt at a citizen\u2019s arrest. Travis McMichael has said Arbery attacked him, and the actions he took were in self-defense.\u00a0At the time in Georgia, a citizen\u2019s arrest law stated that under certain conditions, someone could \u201carrest\u201d a person who committed a crime. The law was repealed and replaced with different phrasing after the shooting of Arbery.PATRICK T.

According to recent CDC data, this is 28.5% higher than the same time last year and nearly double when compared to the past 5 years.
