The following moments are from defense witnesses.)7. Rittenhouse Trial Witness Says Prosecutors Asked Him To \u201cChange\u201d His Statement To Police\u201cAmateur photographer Nathan DeBruin took the stand on Tuesday as one of four defense witnesses called that day,\u201d The Daily Wire reported. \u201cDuring his testimony, DeBruin recounted an earlier, uncomfortable meeting with prosecutors in which DeBruin said they pushed him to change a statement he gave to police regarding another man, Joshua Ziminski, whom prosecutors have charged with arson.\u201d8.\u00a0Judge Tosses Curfew Charge After Prosecution Falls Short On\u00a0EvidenceThe Daily Wire reported:Judge Bruce Schroeder tossed an additional curfew charge on Tuesday, ruling that prosecutors had failed to produce any evidence that a curfew had been in place, according to CNN. The judge left in place the misdemeanor gun charge against Rittenhouse, overruling the defense\u2019s request to have it dismissed. Rittenhouse\u2019s attorneys have previously argued that applicable Wisconsin gun law is unconstitutional, according to the Kenosha News.The defense\u2019s failure to get the misdemeanor gun charge dismissed is a rare win for the prosecution over the past week of testimony. Assistant district attorney Thomas Binger and James Kraus rested the prosecution\u2019s case on Tuesday after several significant setbacks in its case.Two Important Pre-Trial Moments:1. Judge Ruled Men Shot By Rittenhouse Can\u2019t Be Referred To As \u201cVictims,\u201d But They Can Be Called \u201cRioters\u201d And \u201cLooters\u201d If Defense Can Provide Evidence\u00a0\u201cHe [defense] can demonize them if he wants, if he thinks it will win points with the jury,\u201d\u00a0Judge Bruce Schroeder\u00a0said.\u201cThe word victim is a loaded, loaded word,\u201d Schroeder added, telling prosecution they can\u2019t use the term \u201cvictim\u201d to refer to those shot.2.\u00a0Prosecutor Lists Numerous Alleged Crimes Of Man Kyle Rittenhouse Fatally Shot, Downplays As\u00a0IrrelevantDuring a pre-trial hearing, prosecution tried to argue that alleged past actions of Rosenbaum have no connection to the deceased being fatally shot by Rittenhouse during a riot in August 2020.Attempting to illustrate the point that there\u2019s \u201cno\u00a0factually commonality\u201d between prior alleged actions of Rosenbaum on the night of the incident to\u00a0the shooting, prosecution listed off accusations from defense and downplayed the relevance.The laundry list of alleged past deeds drew shock online and can be reviewed here.Noteworthy In October 2020,\u00a0the Lake County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office announced that the gun Rittenhouse used was never carried across state lines, contrary to numerous media stories.\u201cThere is no evidence the gun was ever physically possessed by Kyle Rittenhouse in Illinois,\u201d said the Illinois State Attorney\u2019s Office.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
