Rittenhouse Trial: The Prosecutors Handle Witnesses As Well as F. Joe Biden Handles Sphincter Tone

This witness had previously testified that Rosenbaum -- the pedophile fresh out of a literal insane asylum who first ambushed Rittenhouse -- was shouting "F*** the police! I'm not afraid to go back to jail" and shouted "Shoot me, [n-word!]! Shoot me, [n-word]!" at people.

At a Black Lives Matter rally.

He then testifies that he saw the antifa thugs chasing Rittenhouse, after hearing gunshots.

The defense attorney elicits from the witness that the prosecuting attorneys did not like his original statements -- which tended to clear Kyle -- and asked him to change aspects of it.

Update: I think the point of contention might be that the prosecutors wanted him to say I believed that Huber and Grosskreutz were trying to stop an active shooter whereas the witness' actual words and actual belief was only that the two antifa thugs were chasing after Rittenhouse, and trying to stop him. The witness, in other words, didn't offer up the prejudicial, judgmental "trying to stop an active shooter." The prosecutors wanted him to say that to make them seem to be heroes.

Prosecution asks their own witness, who just testified that they previously attempted to get him to "alter" his testimony, "and we didn't ask you to change your original statement, did we?"

The answer is inevitable.

The fat guy with the stunned expression is the prosecutor who just got him to insist "Yes, you asked me to alter my statement." The guy with his hands up saying "There it is" is the defense attorney.

The guy just said the prosecutors asked him to alter his testimony, and then, in court, they try to get him to alter it again.

The Steltereque assistant prosecutor continues to badger him about whether he was asked to "alter" his testimony, but the witness insists he was asked to "alter" it, and that he felt "uncomfortable" about this.

So a prosecution witness says they pressured him to change his statement to incriminate Rittenhouse.

He comes across as very credible, too. He's got an apple-farmer hick kind of innocence to him. Reckieta says that he seems to have an eidetic (photographic) memory so he probably came across as credible as to pure power of recall, too.

Reckieta's coverage is here; this witness is on the stand in about the last hour of the feed.

Worth watching!!!

Yesterday the lead detective in the case admitted that the only people Rittenhouse shot were chasing him.
