The Rittenhouse jury is asking questions about viewing the drone files, which suggests the jury is seriously examining the provocation claim which could negate the self-defense claim.
Prosecutor Kraus is responding to being accused of fraudulently providing a blurred drone video compared to the higher quality video.
The defense had asked for a mistrial with prejudice after not being given the better drone video prior to closing.
The mistrial request is based on the State failing to provide the defense with the high-definition drone video in its possession, instead merely providing the defense with a low-resolution version of that video, as well as on other grounds.

The prosecution is playing dumb and said what does it matter if the defense was okay with the clearer video.
The defense says the clear video proves self-defense.
It’s not likely the Judge will declare a mistrial.

Tim Pool feels it is still the prosecutions’ fault:
This is still the prosecutions fault and they get no benefit of the doubt
It’s their job to deliver the evidence and there’s no way the defense knew it wasn’t the full file https://t.co/7s28faetWW

This is the mistrial request:
211116 Rittenhouse Motion M… by Law of Self Defense
This Trial should have been over with only one question while Rittenhouse as on the Stand. The Question: “When you were being chased by the 3 people you shot, did you believe your life was in danger? With an answer of “Yes”, the trial should have been over. Three people chase you down and one has a gun. Your life is in danger and you have a God given right to defend yourself by any means available. This is not complex, but the jury is scare there will be riots if they done convict Rittenhouse. Mob justice has come to America.
We can see that the judge has tolerated great abuse by the prosecution. A blurry video does not prove guilt. The defense is not required to prove innocence. Any reasonable juror knows this, and that there is tremendous reasonable doubt of guilt. You cannot assemble a jury in this country without a group of logically and ethically deficient people on it. Any juror with a healthy conscience cannot convict this boy of murder over what they saw in court, including a blurry video of a meaningless gesture not related to any actual shootings.
Uncanny! Just read that the prosecution had nearly obsolete phones that couldn’t play the video properly.
I believe that the jury is looking for a clear and credible way to get past the self defense argument and trying to find malicious intent.
I don’t think that it exists.
I also believe that a mistrial is in order and the prosecution should be sanctioned and the law license of the prosecutor suspended or revoked
