Uh, so are we just ignoring the blatant prosecutorial misconduct here? It is totally illegal to attack the defendant with his claiming of 5th Amendment rights in front of the jury. The prosecutor did it anyway. That's why the judge got so angry.

The mistrial is about to be in favor of the defendant. With prejudice, so he can't be retried. Then we can see about hauling the prosecutor in front of the Bar and get his law license revoked for gross misconduct.

I didn't avoid it, per my other comments. The fact is that the Judge should be disbarred, driven to the state line, and told not to come back.

Pure 100% whataboutism.

About the biased judge, which is the topic of the discussion? You can't redefine whataboutism....

Uh, no. It's the prosecutor's blatant misconduct. Hello? You know, that made the judge angry in the first place?

You do NOT attempt to bias the jury with the defendant's Fifth Amendment rights. Has zero to do with guilt or innocence, and the prosecutor knew this from the first year of law school. He's likely to be disciplined after the trial, and if there is any justice in the world he'll be disbarred.

Just like prosecutor Mike Nifong in the Duke University lacrosse team non-rape case.

The DA is just doing his job, and he goofed. It's approprite to address the OP's note that the "Judge in Rittenhouse trial screams...." The reason the Trumptard Judge is trying to find a reason for a mistrial is that he is actively trying to get a mistrial. It's relevant.

He didn't just goof. Seriously? He deliberately did what he did because his star witness exonerated the defendant. We all saw him facepalm.
