SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 11 – In the trial of Kyle
Rittenhouse in Kenosha,
Wisconsin on Veterans Day the
defense's use of force expert,
a Kenosha police officer and a
live streamer were on the
stand. Inner City Press live
tweeted it here:
Now in
Rittenhouse Trial, cross
examination of use of force
expert John Black by
prosecutor Thomas Binger, who
made a series of objections
during defense laywer Mark
Richards's direct examination.
Prosecutor
Binger: How much have you
billed the defense? Black: A
little over $9000.
Binger: I'd like
to see the report I requested
before I conclude my cross.
Richards: We'll put on another
witness. Judge Bruce
Schroeder: That'd be great.
Prosecutor Binger
(on cross) - Are you familiar
with guns of this type?
Kenosha police
officer Brittni Bray: Yes.
Binger: If there were ammo in
the magazine and you re-racked
it, it would refire? Bray:
Correct. Binger: That's all I
have.
Next
witness. Drew Hernandez: I'm
with Real America's Voice. A
detective did reach out to me.
They wanted my footage but it
wouldn't fit in the Dropbox
link. Anyway I was covering
other riots, in Portland and
elsewhere. So I lost track.
Rittenhouse 2d
chair Corey Chirafisi: You saw
Mr. Rittenhouse come out from
Car Source 2? Hernandez: Yes.
Chirafisi:
What was he doing? Hernandez:
Trying to de-escalate.
Chirafisi: Did you see Mr.
Rosenbaum?
Hernandez: Yes,
he was pushing a flaming
dumpster. Inner City Press

Chirafisi: And what did Mr.
Rosenbaum do after that?
Hernandez: He was triggered --
Chirafisi: Why do
you say that? Did you see him
do anything? Hernandez: He led
the charge into the gas
station. He was getting
physically aggressive, he said
"N-word shoot me."
Hernandez:
After the dumpster fire was
put out, Mr. Rosenbaum and
others turn their attention to
the individuals in the gas
station with rifles.
Chirafisi: Then
what? Hernandez: After I
documented another fire in a
mechanic's shop for about 20
minutes, I came back and
Rosenbaum had his identity
concealed... Kyle asked if
anyone needed medical. It's
not on this body cam footage
but I heard it myself
Chirifisi:
Did you hear someone say "F*ck
you"? Hernandez: Yes.
Chirifisi: Did you make out
who it was? Hernandez: Not
then, but -- Chirifisi: So
let's move forward.
Hernandez:
Rosenbaum was charging Kyle,
lunging toward him. And Kyle
fires.
Binger: You film
with a phone, and body cam.
But what we watched has only
one POV. Who edited it?
Hernandez: I did. Binger: You
combined two into one?
Hernandez: The jury could see
both. Binger: Let's see
Exhibit 151. Play it again.
Binger: Did
you splice them together?
Hernandez: I don't know if I
spliced it. Binger: It's an
old term. Did you retain an
attorney in Madison?
Defense:
Objection!
Judge: What is
the relevance?
Binger: Bias.
Judge: Lunch
break.
[With jury
out to lunch] Judge: Maybe he
hired a lawyer because he has
the copyright to this footage.
Binger: He hired a lawyer to
provide this evidence. The
lawyer was the intermediary -
the lawyer is with the same
firm that represents one of
their witnesses.
Chirafisi:
That lawyer was just to do a
phone extract. I think it's
called Cellebrite. Judge: If I
had to extract a cell phone
[laughs] I'd have to hire
someone. This will be a
closely watched door.
