the idea that cgi can be entered in to evidence is perhaps the most dangerous thing about this trial. Win or lose, this time, we all lose if cgi can be called evidence.

HOCUS POCUS OUT OF FOCUS

Richards lambasted the prosecution’s use of an enlarged photo taken from drone video that a state crime lab analyst testified he took 20 hours to produce. Prosecutors said the enlarged image shows Rittenhouse pointing his gun at protesters, an act they say provoked the series of events that resulted in Rittenhouse killing two people and wounding a third.

“What he did for those 20 hours is hocus pocus,” Richards said in urging jurors to reject consideration of the image. “And he makes an exhibit that is out of focus.”

Prosecutors said it took the analyst 20 hours to work on the entire video, not just the image that was enlarged.


It sounded like photo/video manipulation was used to make the jurors think Rittenhouse was pointing his gun at people. I heard that one photo even reversed the image.

So they basically presented a photoshopped image as evidence?

Sounds about right.

He mentions it like 15 seconds into the video. That's all I got on it.
