THE PROSECUTION WITHHELD EVIDENCE Defense and prosecution spar over drone video in court
Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense team filed a mistrial motion this week over a drone video that was shown during the trial, claiming that the prosecution did not turn over the full video until after evidence was closed.
The prosecution argued Wednesday that they did not mean to give the defense a more compressed version of the drone video, and it only happened because it was transferred from an iPhone to an Android phone.
“They could have asked for a thumb drive, they could have asked for whatever,” Assistant District Attorney James Kraus said. “We’re not responsible for that.”
Judge Bruce Schroeder said that a new evidentiary hearing may be necessary to get to the bottom of the dispute.
“We can’t resolve this now, because this is going to require expert testimony from people,” the judge said.
The jury also requested different videos that were shown during the trial. A computer is being wiped to put the videos on so that the jury can view them. The drone video that the prosecution and defense argued over has not been requested by the jury.
