On Monday, a Wisconsin judge ruled that the men Kyle Rittenhouse shot may be referred to by his defense team as "rioters" and "looters" but that the prosecutors cannot call them "victims" at any point during the upcoming trial.
Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder laid these ground rules during a hearing regarding the November 1 trial.
Breitbart reports:
Schroeder warned Rittenhouse’s attorneys against using the terms “rioters” and “looters” during opening statements but said they could be used in closing arguments if evidence suggested the men engaged in criminal activity.
According to The Chicago Tribune, “Schroeder indicated he would allow evidence of bad behavior that night by the men Rittenhouse shot because it could speak to how dangerous they would have seemed to the teen.”
The prosecutors were frustrated with the judge’s decision, arguing it is unfair for Rittenhouse’s team to be able to use those terms while they could not use the word “victim.”
“The terms that I’m identifying here such as rioter, looter and arsonist are as loaded, if not more loaded, than the term victim,” said assistant district attorney Thomas Binger.
Schroeder added that “the word victim is a loaded, loaded word.”
According to Insider reports, “It’s common for judges across the country to ban the word “victim” during trials, because it implies that a crime was committed and could therefore prejudice a jury against a defendant.”
Although they cannot use the term "victim," Schroeder ruled that prosecutors may use words like “cold-blooded killer” to refer to Rittenhouse.
Rittenhouse is on trial for murder after shooting three men during the violent Kenosha riots last summer when BLM and other troublemakers rioted, looted, and burned down cities after a police officer shot Jacob Blake.
Rittenhouse has pled not guilty to the charges against him. He claims that he acted in self defense.
