Rekieta Law's video stream has officially changed the legal commentary game
Posted by DC on Fri, 11/19/2021 - 17:26
A new legal commentary and analysis concept launched during the Kyle Rittenhouse clown trial. A YouTube channel called Rekieta Law ran a live stream throughout the trial and brought on actual practicing attorneys to provide real-time commentary and education to us non-legal types.
A clip of their reaction to the AntiFa-BLM slime Gaige Grosskreutz' fail on cross, when he admitted to pointing the gun at Rittenhouse first before his bicep was turned into chop-suey, went viral. The clip was shared all over the internet, and the stream took off from there.
At one point they hit over 100k viewers watching the live stream. They may have been implementing this concept previously, but now everyone I know following the Rittenhouse trial was watching it.
The concept itself seems simple, but for those of us who remember the O.J. trial, Scott Peterson, Casey Anthony, and other high-profile court cases, the commentary makes the experience entertaining, and in retrospect after watching Rekieta's stream, I realize we've never had great commentary and analysis beyond a few exceptions that I'm sure I'm forgetting.
The problem with legal commentary nowadays is it all sucks, and it's rooted in fake news and Marxist propaganda. It's watered down crap, unchallenged, and it's not typically done by real or competent lawyers.
The cable TV pundit may be a licensed bar member, and maybe worked at a firm, or maybe even clerked, but usually they've never been in the weeds of actual trials where they stand before a judge and argue a case in front of a jury with someone's freedom on the line, be it as prosecutor or defense attorney.
We mostly get the Gloria Allred types who probably have never seen the inside of a courtroom, but built a career on holding her crying client's hand during a scripted interview, with a box of Kleenex in plain view.
She made a ton of money from it, so it's not like she's bad at what she does, but she's more of a public relations-type attorney who wins settlements (which is not a bad thing). I'm not singling her out specifically, but she's in the mold of the type of television attorney that makes you dumber if you listen to her.
Worse, we get lunatics who did practice, like Nancy Grace, who was a prosecutor in Atlanta. She made the move to TV years ago and covered the famous trials over the years, where she confirmed herself to be certifiably crazy. How crazy? Recently she called Kyle Rittenhouse a teen vigilante.
If you think Rittenhouse wasn't defending himself, then you're too stupid for me to even associate with, and certainly not someone from whom I could absorb legal knowledge. This brings up another point to the low quality commentary on cable TV, where the pundits seem to have literally no idea about the details and facts of the cases they cover.
This is the crappy, low quality legal punditry cable TV has to offer, and until now, the type of which we were stuck, beyond a single independent live streamer who maybe had a few guests on who may or may not be attorneys.
