Yep, well aware of that. But as long as the videos showing KR acted in self defense don't mysteriously "disappear" I think verdict would still be the same.

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.

The judge did not disallow "key evidence". He disallowed so-called "evidence" that it typically not allowed in cases. Nor did he create doubt over the drone footage. The prosecution raised concerns over the fact that they did not receive the HQ version of the footage but only a low-quality version due to an error when the defense sent it over.
So much misinformation has been spread about this case. And is still spreading for that matter.
Disagree, premeditation is grounds for admission, his use of "other acts" for that video two weeks before the shootings is different to the other two he disallowed, which do fit that criteria. And casting doubts over what's seen when zoomed as artifacts was wrong.

There was no evidence of premeditation. That video does not suggest premeditation by any definition. He jokingly said he wanted to shoot looters. FYI, he did not shoot people who were looting.
And the judge did not cast doubts, the prosecution did. The judge being older and ignorant of modern tech asked for an expert to see whose interpretation (prosecution or defense) was correct.
the far right Judge himself was in two minds on the wanting to shoot people, a normal judge would probably have allowed it. The judge believed that the zoom affected what was there, it doesn't in terms of where a person points a gun.
See, you're making claims you have little to no knowledge on. I've said it before, but I'm going to defer to the judge's stance on what is allowed as he is certainly far more knowledgeable about it than you, I, or nearly any other internet pundit.
And like I said, the judge was ignorant on the zoom feature because he's an old boomer who knows shit about tech.
I disagree on almost all counts, the Judge is in a position to manipulate the law with his knowledge though, yes. Zoom does not affect where a gun is pointed and the judge initially was only erring towards removing the Rittenhouse video where he stated he wished he had his AR 15. Some judges have stated they would have allowed it. It was his choice like his ring tone, like his round of applause, like his joking where Rittenhouse could sit. All his choice.

The far right judge appointed by a Democrat governor in 1983.

No, the Democrats are right of most European non popularise politicians and peoples views often become more extreme. The Trumper Judge is a Trumper Judge. Not heard that before did he really say that Blake? If so... **** me!
Did he vote for Trump though? Don't you need to support Trump to be a Trumper?
