The process is the punishment. That’ll do it for the most cases and usually people will just please self defense cases away. I had to.
His group signed the check that paid the bail. By law the money has to be returned to whoever provided it. Rittenhouse's lawyers can sue the group for the money after that but they won't be getting it from the state.
The problem with endless objections is that if you are sitting on the jury you have to ask what facts are being hidden from me here. It’s one thing to object to lies by the prosecutor, and another to try to keep info from the jury.
plea not please.
That doesn't sound right. The money goes back to the party that RAISED it, or the parties that put the money up?
No need to question Richard's motives on this. He pointed out that something like $500,000 of the $2M was put up by Kyle's own mother. It seems ludicrous on its face that Lin Wood should keep even a penny of that money once the trial is over.
Not talking about Kyle who is extremely naive. WHen I see all the pundits like Pavlich attacking someone I take pause.
He is a an 18 year old kid who knows what people are telling him. With that said , I’m no fan of wood.
Party that put the money up. Whoever signed the money over for the bail gets it back when the bail is voided.
The parties that put the money up are the folks who contributed. The court has no way of sorting all of that out. To be precise it goes to the party that posted the bond. Now, if $500K was provided by Kyle's mother then Lin should give her her $500K back. What happens to contributions? We can argue that all day without resolving it.
Of course Richards wants it all for his legal fees.
He had to post $2M CASH bond. There was not way to get him out of jail until $2M cash was raised.
Richards did a spectacular job. I don’t know who you were watching.
Lin Wood claimed that if we let the Democrats win those seats, that would ‘teach the GOP a lesson’ and with that 500,000 Trump voters stayed home for the runoff.
Hey Lin: Has McConnell learned that lesson yet?
That isn't what Wood is claiming here, so makes you wonder . . .
WTF are you thinking? You are in a fog!
Wood ‘raised’ the money by appealing to the public. I gave to Kyle’s defense fund because it was Kyle Rittenhouse, not Lin Wood. He didn’t have the money in the bank like most people who bail/bond people out of jail. In those cases, yes, the money goes back to the person. But I think there’s a good case here that the money should go to Kyle.
Wood is a pos. I couldn’t believe how long that kid was in jail and wondered what the deal was. Now I know.
i was watching what Andrew Branca watched...Branca is a top self defense attorney...heres his website...read and learn..
The real question is, When did they have the 2M? Sept 5, or Nov 20? Kyle says they had the money in Sept.
Kyle's mom wanted to see the books, Wood refused to show them to her. If Wood had been honest, he would have shown her the books when she asked.
I watch Reiki Law live discussions, and I appreciated the insights, but I couldn't stand the snarky commentary. When I listened to the live trial, there were times when I - a non-lawyer - was screaming "Object!". I also thought it would be hard, if not impossible, for Kyle to get a unanimous verdict. Regardless of how he got there, there could have been no better result. The unanimous jury was better than a mistrial, even a mistrial with prejustice, because that would have left some feeling Kyle would have been found guilty without judicial intervention. The fact that the with prejustice motion was kept open left that escape hatch.
Richards did a great job, and he stuck to the defense, he didn't get involved in the sideshow, although I thought there might have been some behind the scenes PR. I was also astonished that they had at least 2 mock juries to test out legal theories on, I thought that only happened on TV!
Watching Richards interviewed after the trial, the plain, deadpan delievery, I thought "This guy is the Bill Belichick of the legal world."
Wood was on a political mission, and prioritized that over the kid's defense and well-being. I even saw some here criticize Kyle because he wasn't aggressively taking a far-right position. That would have been stupid under the circumstances.
The other thing the jury verdict (as opposed to a mistrial, even with prejudice) gives is a large amount of protection for Kyle against civil suits. The evidence of the attacks on him is well-documented now.
I think Kyle may have a claim against his attackers, or the estates of hs attackers. Any suit against Klye should be met with a counter-suit and a demand for legal fees. Fot that reason, it isn’t going to happen.
I'm thinking he's a troll or a mole to disrupt FR.
