RUSH TRANSCRIPT Now that ░░░░░░░░ looks like the prosecution ░░░░░░░░ be struggling to make ░░░░░░░░ case Talking about where ░░░░░░░░ trial is tonight with ░░░░░░░░ senior writer and America ░░░░░░░░ executive director cassie smedley ░░░░░░░░ to have you with ░░░░░░░░ tonight Agreed to be ░░░░░░░░ you Shannon Shannon here ░░░░░░░░ the thing landed in ░░░░░░░░ inbox today professor Jeffrey ░░░░░░░░ a law professor and ░░░░░░░░ was a prosecutor defense ░░░░░░░░ and a judge in ░░░░░░░░ Dade county in Florida ░░░░░░░░ said this about the ░░░░░░░░ s ruling it is ░░░░░░░░ clear that judge is ░░░░░░░░ to direct the case ░░░░░░░░ an acquittal Do you ░░░░░░░░ it s a fair ░░░░░░░░ of what s going ░░░░░░░░ Certainly not I think ░░░░░░░░ is your assessment when ░░░░░░░░ know that things are ░░░░░░░░ really going your way ░░░░░░░░ we have seen in ░░░░░░░░ cases that when you ░░░░░░░░ the full context here ░░░░░░░░ ve got a lot ░░░░░░░░ people tripping and who ░░░░░░░░ ticking sound bites here ░░░░░░░░ there but the full ░░░░░░░░ is the jury will ░░░░░░░░ the opportunity to hear ░░░░░░░░ they are in the ░░░░░░░░ of being tried and ░░░░░░░░ Rittenhouse getting due process ░░░░░░░░ also the chair of ░░░░░░░░ House Democrats said this ░░░░░░░░ a couple tweets A ░░░░░░░░ up Kyle Rittenhouse throw ░░░░░░░░ the key The same ░░░░░░░░ who rapidly screamed to ░░░░░░░░ her up and worshiped ░░░░░░░░ at rallies now pretend ░░░░░░░░ be defenders of due ░░░░░░░░ and the rule of ░░░░░░░░ You are actually in ░░░░░░░░ situation and the scenario ░░░░░░░░ you tell us what ░░░░░░░░ accurately reflected in what ░░░░░░░░ proceeding now in the ░░░░░░░░ The congressman said it ░░░░░░░░ an open and shut ░░░░░░░░ What s your take ░░░░░░░░ is no excuse for ░░░░░░░░ of that Forget the ░░░░░░░░ that the trial has ░░░░░░░░ laid out that one ░░░░░░░░ Kyle Rittenhouse shot in ░░░░░░░░ defense only to the ░░░░░░░░ who were actively attacking ░░░░░░░░ If anyone had any ░░░░░░░░ in finding out what ░░░░░░░░ happening that night in ░░░░░░░░ weeks after it happened ░░░░░░░░ year there s all ░░░░░░░░ video If iphones on ░░░░░░░░ they testified saying he ░░░░░░░░ some of it We ░░░░░░░░ a lot of videos ░░░░░░░░ eyewitness statements prior to ░░░░░░░░ trial that will clearly ░░░░░░░░ to any neutral observer ░░░░░░░░ anybody who wants to ░░░░░░░░ objective about it will ░░░░░░░░ that Kyle Rittenhouse only ░░░░░░░░ people in self defense ░░░░░░░░ they were actively attacking ░░░░░░░░ him For congressman today ░░░░░░░░ of the media trying ░░░░░░░░ make it seem like ░░░░░░░░ prosecution s case is ░░░░░░░░ disastrous as it actually ░░░░░░░░ been as you know ░░░░░░░░ ve been at the ░░░░░░░░ every day of the ░░░░░░░░ It s unacceptable It ░░░░░░░░ going to add fuel ░░░░░░░░ the fire if the ░░░░░░░░ does equate Mr Rittenhouse ░░░░░░░░ the charges because people ░░░░░░░░ have been duped into ░░░░░░░░ this narrative that is ░░░░░░░░ not true Shannon the ░░░░░░░░ Press said this a ░░░░░░░░ weeks ago about the ░░░░░░░░ The head headlines Americans ░░░░░░░░ see what they want ░░░░░░░░ see The suggestion that ░░░░░░░░ on other side of ░░░░░░░░ debate will feel like ░░░░░░░░ they see in the ░░░░░░░░ and in the evidence ░░░░░░░░ if they think he ░░░░░░░░ guilty or innocent Do ░░░░░░░░ think a fair assessment ░░░░░░░░ don t like it ░░░░░░░░ a fair assessment but ░░░░░░░░ do think it s ░░░░░░░░ that we see the ░░░░░░░░ of written large how ░░░░░░░░ cases in situations and ░░░░░░░░ narratives have been crafted ░░░░░░░░ of snippets that people ░░░░░░░░ up on Twitter and ░░░░░░░░ all of a sudden ░░░░░░░░ are an expert on ░░░░░░░░ issue on the story ░░░░░░░░ on the case It ░░░░░░░░ like the narrative playing ░░░░░░░░ in the media over ░░░░░░░░ last year plus from ░░░░░░░░ it happened and this ░░░░░░░░ this trial being shown ░░░░░░░░ fuller context on interrupted ░░░░░░░░ TV like fox has ░░░░░░░░ for so many hours ░░░░░░░░ are going oh I ░░░░░░░░ t realize that or ░░░░░░░░ s new information Now ░░░░░░░░ it s presented that ░░░░░░░░ that is interesting Or ░░░░░░░░ you re talking about ░░░░░░░░ footage the live footage ░░░░░░░░ so many different vantage ░░░░░░░░ And again that s ░░░░░░░░ we have due process ░░░░░░░░ the country and that ░░░░░░░░ in the courtroom not ░░░░░░░░ the court of public ░░░░░░░░ not on Twitter certainly ░░░░░░░░ on msn and the ░░░░░░░░ is able to hear ░░░░░░░░ case they are the ░░░░░░░░ who matter and what ░░░░░░░░ take away from this ░░░░░░░░ I think that is ░░░░░░░░ you re going to ░░░░░░░░ a fair process play ░░░░░░░░ Shannon having a case ░░░░░░░░ making their decision and ░░░░░░░░ we have a justice ░░░░░░░░ that gives a fair ░░░░░░░░ If allows all of ░░░░░░░░ to be brought in ░░░░░░░░ want to ask you ░░░░░░░░ you talk about all ░░░░░░░░ video evidence that s ░░░░░░░░ It s been available ░░░░░░░░ the prosecution since the ░░░░░░░░ and they thought they ░░░░░░░░ bring the charges anyway ░░░░░░░░ do you think it ░░░░░░░░ be different for Kyle ░░░░░░░░ if we did not ░░░░░░░░ all the video from ░░░░░░░░ the different angles It ░░░░░░░░ have been a much ░░░░░░░░ for his defense team ░░░░░░░░ make that whole case ░░░░░░░░ him because again there ░░░░░░░░ no mainstream media outlets ░░░░░░░░ that location It was ░░░░░░░░ and a handful of ░░░░░░░░ people We did not ░░░░░░░░ out to go out ░░░░░░░░ to try to prove ░░░░░░░░ innocence because obviously we ░░░░░░░░ no idea who he ░░░░░░░░ we simply went out ░░░░░░░░ to show what was ░░░░░░░░ in real time because ░░░░░░░░ we have seen not ░░░░░░░░ with the case but ░░░░░░░░ mainstream media has been ░░░░░░░░ a terrible job at ░░░░░░░░ the riots as they ░░░░░░░░ happening We site out ░░░░░░░░ to tell the truth ░░░░░░░░ what was going on ░░░░░░░░ case it should help ░░░░░░░░ him of the charges ░░░░░░░░ that s what the ░░░░░░░░ are Shannon it looks ░░░░░░░░ this will go to ░░░░░░░░ jury probably on Monday ░░░░░░░░ Tuesday at the earliest ░░░░░░░░ will watch and see ░░░░░░░░ all the information presented to
