I do not interpret the picture of the prosecutor as you do. It does not come across as a face palm, but a natural pose for someone that is taking notes. My perception might be different if the camera panned to the ADA table immediately upon GG’s statement - but this is like a full minute or two later. A face palm is generally an immediate action - and it isn’t held until the camera guy can get a good shot.
Yet, I do agree that it is damning to the prosecutor’s case.
No one is going to take notes in that position as it could be misconstrued, if they have a brain.
Sorry i looked at the photo.
That isnt how almost anyone takes notes.
I believe you are incorrect and the original interpretation is 100% on point.
That’s a face palm!

He is in view of the Jury here. He has to be careful of any misperception of his reaction and this was a terrible one. Notes or not, during a time when his witness was less than supporting of his case, if not outright contradicting it, is not a good time to be seen as squirming.
And to answer everyone’s question, no, this ADA is not incompetent. Like Mike Nifong, this guy is being political. And I betcha he knows that the trial doesn’t matter as the jury pool was biased and Rittenhouse is going down.
I watched the video. It's as bad as it gets. He's not taking notes.

24 seconds. I have watch a lot of this trial and first time seen.
Place your hand low on your forehead like you suggest and see where your pinkie is.
Now move your fingers onto your cheek as in the photo and see how your vision is obscured.
Lol. You don’t have to interpret anything. The jury sees that fat guy siting there knowing their case is lost, and that is good enough for me…
Jurors see everything, especially the confidence of Kyle and his team.
The other damming evidence was how cooperative Kyle was, turned over his phone while limpy arm antifa felon guy lied the whole time, and DA doesn’t allow the police to execute a search warrant on the perp
Yet, I do agree that it is damning to the prosecutor’s case.
It is 25 seconds later.
