The prosecutor today tried to paint Rittenhouse as having the intention to kill, continually asking him if he “intended to kill” his attacks in Kenosha. But Rittenhouse refused to take the bait and answered honestly:
The prosecutor kept trying to paint Rittenhouse as a killer, saying “everybody that you shot at that night, you intended to kill. Correct?”
And he kept asking it over and over, hoping Rittenhouse would stumble or something.
But Rittenhouse stood strong and said “I didn’t intend to kill them. I intended to stop the people who were attacking me.”
And he kept giving that same answer, in one or or the other, over and over. Because it was the truth. Rittenhouse didn’t know if they would die, he simply was defending himself to stop his attackers.
To demonstrate just how ridiculous this prosecutor is, as if that isn’t evident enough, here’s a short clip of the prosecutor describing a hollow point:

The prosecutor says “hollow point bullets are designed to hit the animal they are being shot at – let’s say a deer for example – and explode inside that body, correct?”
Rittenhouse responded “No…I don’t think so.”
They don’t explode, they expand. A hollow point bullet gets anywhere from a little larger to double the bullet size when hitting a ‘body’, depending on the hollow point. They simply make a bigger hole in order to stop an attacker. When they expand, they also create more resistance as they travel through the body and the hope is that they don’t exit the intended target and injure someone else.
This prosecutor undoubtedly knows this, but he wants to paint Rittenhouse as a killer and is grasping at straws to save his doomed murder case.
