Furious Judge in Rittenhouse Trial Accuses Prosecution of ‘Grave Constitutional Violation’
At that point, the judge ordered the jury to leave the courtroom. When they had left, he berated the prosecution:
Judge: You need to account for this.
Defense attorney: Your Honor — I don’t want the jury to hear — he’s commenting on my client’s right to remain silent.
Prosecutor: No, Your Honor. I am making the point that after hearing everything int he case, now he’s tailoring his story to what has already been introduced.
Judge: The problem is, this is a grave constitutional violation for you to talk about the defendant’s silence, and that is — and you’re right on the borderline, and you may be over it. But it better stop.
Prosecutor: Understood.
Judge: This is — I can’t think of the case, the initial case on it. But this is not permitted.
The jury then returned and the defense’s objection to the prosecution’s line of questioning was sustained.
