there was a really great comment by cassandra fairbanks she tweeted that at first she thought it was a really bad idea for them to put kyle witness on the stand yeah but then she saw him breaking down and she thought to herself you know something like get this baby off the stand as a mother like watching him be attacked and he's a young guy so maybe maybe that's what their goal was really the reason uh people were criticizing the defense for not objecting to the badgering from the prosecution but i think maybe the goal was we get him to testify and he does a good job but he also breaks down and and he shows his humility and his fear and remorse and yeah but yeah but the guys on the other side they all took that as him being uh you know just afraid that he's going to jail because he's admitting you know being on the stand and it's becoming clear that he committed murder but i want to just point out one thing real quick my point here is not that they're going to convince the left yeah it's that the jury who supposedly has limited information on this what are they going to see a guy crying not necessarily perfect because he may be crying because he might go to jail right like you said however the prosecution then badgers him and so the jury sees an annoying prosecution that's wasting their time by asking the same question a million times and they see a defense compassionately you know speaking with a defendant who's traumatized yeah uh joe kent the uh congressional candidate from washington state uh he had a really nice tweet today where he said that uh as a guy who's been in combat uh him uh and his wife was killed in combat uh he said that everyone reacts differently to remembering instances in which you were forced to kill somebody or experiencing this kind of trauma and i was just really pleased to see joe put out such a empathetic leadership to kind of tweet like that saying that like emotions and and trauma and people react to that in different ways and we should respect the way that kyle is reacting to that because irrespective of his motive killing somebody is gotta be horrible and we should also give that to alec baldwin yeah but he's an ass that's not fair no i agree i completely NUMBER_TOKEN agree my my thing about alec baldwin is just we should be but have we seen him break down and cry and remorse that was the first image from l.a times it's him crying on the phone i don't know if he was crying but he's like distraught very much so yeah what i'm trying to say is i approach the rittenhouse case by looking at talking to the witnesses literally first i watched the video we bring the witnesses in and we try to the best of our ability to know the facts what i'm saying with alec baldwin is we must do the same thing and if the initial reports of a blank misfiring and shrapnel hitting a person are not true we need to erase from our minds our prejudice assuming there was an accident and start with the with the core facts and then work our way back from how it happened i'm not saying he's guilty
