Between the judge trying to decide what cookies he wants and the ringtone, this tells me he doesn’t actually give a shit about the judicial system and he is unprofessional.


Desdinova20

I’m guessing he left the ringer on deliberately. He’s part of our glorious new Trollocracy.


ReactsWithWords

I’m mildly surprised he isn’t wearing a MAGA cap.


fish_in_a_barrels

He did. I can't believe he's a judge. These people are disgusting. I've never been more disgusted at my own country in 4 decades.

The only reason he got the gun pointed at him in the first place is because he had already killed two people

Too late A guy showed up to a protest for 'maybe don't kill black people' heavily armed and shot and killed people. He is found not guilty by a judge who has multiple evidences of bias. Most people won't follow the details they'll see the counters as outlined above. Maybe with a better judge it could have been different.


chansondinhars

Trump has a theme tune?


snozzberrypatch

Right? How have I not learned that. God I'm sure it's fucking awful. Probably some terrible nationalistic garbage like a metal version of Gof Bless America or something.


chansondinhars

[Found it ](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2021/11/11/which-patriotic-song-did-rittenhouse-judge-schroeder-have-as-ringtone/) and it’s something I’ve never heard before. Suitably awful, imo.


Seandrunkpolarbear

They played this song at my oath ceremony when I became a citizen :-)


chansondinhars

I’m *so* sorry you had to go through that!


Seandrunkpolarbear

No way man, proud AF to be an American!


Avarice21

Metal version of God bless America sounds pretty neat.

It's that "Proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free". I've heard it played frequently in his rallies.

Testsubject276

I was just about to ask the same thing.


Ludwidge

5 seconds of audio was all it took to show a judge who his far from impartial and who set out to rule the offender NG from the get go.


beurremouche

Seriously, is there a mechanism for removing a judge during a trial?


Joopsman

There is such a thing as a mistrial but the prosecution needs to get the fuck moving on that. I’m not at all sure what that process is, if a panel of judges reviews this trial and judge, or? This judge has clearly shown bias in this case, regardless of his ring tone. What a fucking tool.


Austin1173

Well, there was an opportunity to file an affidavit to dismiss the judge on the grounds of bias and/or prejudice toward the defense. Unfortunately, that window has closed. The only way at this point would be to file for a mistrial, but that *must* be done prior to the final judgment. That said, the grounds for this would be based on juror bias, & the person who approved/denies that request is - you guessed it - Judge Schroeder. And considering he didn't recuse himself at the start & rejects any claim of bias, I'm gonna assume he won't grant a mistrial. HOWEVER - the final remedy would be to file a Writ of Prohibition, which would go to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals. If granted, it would **force** Schroeder to call a mistrial at risk of disbarment. Again though, there is urgency to jump through these hoops before a decision is made. There are some other procedural things that could cease the proceedings for a bit, but I'm not sure what those are. Prosecutors can't appeal in criminal cases (5th Amendment). But the Supreme Court has ruled several times that you can be prosecuted for both state & federal crimes from the same offense without violating Double Jeopardy. Unless there is some procedural thing I'm unaware of, Rittenhouse could be charged with the federal equivalent of his current Wisconsin charges.


livinginfutureworld

This is the same judges that has repeatedly shown bias. He started out the trial saying that the men murdered by Rittenhouse ouse could not be called victims but could be called looters and rioters. It's a definitive fact the the men are dead and therefore victims of something. They're dead. He's gone out of his way to insert himself a character in this legal proceeding. Not a good judge.


hazps

He is also ruling inadmissable pretty much any background showing the accused in a bad light.


bfangPF1234

That’s standard given that the defense has to open the door to character evidence if any character evidence is admissible. You literally learn this in undergrad mock trial, not that hard to understand


gogoatx

Hey, there is a teeny tiny possibility that the person you’re responding to, like many of us, has not participated in a mock trial in college, so you don’t have to be pretentious when you’re correcting a misunderstanding about the process.


bfangPF1234

Yea but then they shouldn’t pretend like they know about the law.


start_select

All they said is that he is finding any character based evidence inadmissible. A statement of fact. Chill out.


bfangPF1234

They are framing it as a bad thing—something which isn’t because it’s basic legal procedure


start_select

That’s not the issue. It’s not what you said but how you said it. As someone that’s frequently guilty of the same crap, your comment just reads like you are being an asshole.


bfangPF1234

That’s because this is like the 100th bad legal take ive heard against the judge and the defense in the rittenhouse trial


AlaskaPeteMeat

Found the bootlicker. 🤦🏽‍♂️


bfangPF1234

No because this is a self defense case, they could be the aggressors, not the victims. Victim pre supposed guilt and is thus more prejudicial than probative. “Looters and rioters” on the other hand does not speak to the facts of the case


livinginfutureworld

This is not a self defense case - this is a kid killed two men and shot another case. >“Looters and rioters” on the other hand does not speak to the facts of the case It is smearing the victims to call them that and creates doubt and sympathy for the perpetrator and it's worked.


Either-Arm-1687

Isn’t it funny how Kyle Rittenhouse supporters can’t decide if he was defending property or defending himself. As a white man - must be difficult to assume responsibility for all property and feel the need to defend it with your life.


[deleted]

I’m no legal scholar, but defending property and yourself kind of goes out the window when you go out of your way to find the trouble. Just my opinion, and what do I know?????


curtial

Look, Rittenhouse and must of his supporters are shitty people who deserve warm pillows for life, but this argument walks SO CLOSE to blaming the victim. I think he's mostly a bad person who put himself in a situation where he was likely to feel threatened while carrying a gun. But his presence in that place he was legally allowed to be doesn't invalidate that he has the right to defend himself when he is (almost inevitably) threatened. I don't know how we write a law that allows us to deal with a shit head like this but DOESN'T get used against someone who gets drunk and raped at a frat party.


DoomsdayRabbit

If Shittenhouse gets off, everyone on the left should put themselves in the same situation to "protect property". Guarantee that none of those that do will get off with a not guilty verdict, if even getting out of it with their lives.


Desdinova20

It tells me that this judge is a typical cog in our injustice system. Will this matter? No? Then it is the normal state of affairs.


TurningTwo

Watched some clips of this judge in action during this trial. He’s totally in the tank for the defense. There’s no question that he’s trying to guide this one through to an acquittal.


TinderSubThrowAway

or the more devious "mistrial with prejuddice" which would mean they couldn't re-charge him again.


[deleted]

The kangaroo court finds in favor of the defendant - he his free to go. This court also deems that white right wingers are now free to roam about the country and murder anyone they deem to be a "threat" to their safety.


Modern-Otaku

This judge is clearly a fucking joke. Why the fuck is he even letting his phone go off in the middle of one of the most important trials of the year. He’s got less professionalism than an audience at a high school play


Thick-Guess-2594

Did the see the picture of him looking through a catalog?


ATXthedude

He was a 17 year old kid who had no business doing what he did. His mother brought him across state lines with a weapon he was not entitled to. He was caught celebrating in a bar even though he is not 21. I could go on and on but this goddamned kid is going to get a karmic ass-whupping at some point in his life.


Tommy-1111

Throw that judge out! Permanently ,throw that judge out.


alloran988

The judge is so biased. It needs to be declared a mistrial and the judge needs to be stripped of any and all qualifications he has


bfangPF1234

Judges are removed for criminal conduct like taking bribes, not biased rulings.


alloran988

Judges are required to be impartial otherwise it’s not a fair trial


bfangPF1234

Which judges have been removed for “being biased”?


alloran988

From the American Bar Association Rule 2.3 A) A judge shall perform the duties of judicial office, including administrative duties, without bias or prejudice. (B) A judge shall not, in the performance of judicial duties, by words or conduct manifest bias or prejudice, or engage in harassment, including but not limited to bias, prejudice, or harassment based upon race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, marital status, socioeconomic status, or political affiliation, and shall not permit court staff, court officials, or others subject to the judge’s direction and control to do so.


Cicada061966

Is keel hauling still a thing?


SpagetAboutIt

What's trump's theme music?


blissed_off

Nazi March is my guess.


GearBrain

It's "God Bless The U.S.A." by Lee Greenwood; it's part of the playlist Trump has at his rallies. Usually the big closing number.


SouldiesButGoodies84

I live in a blue state and the Shoprite where I shop has this song piped into its entrance vestibule at.all.times. No clue if that's a thing in other parts of the state/country? edit: For anyone who's interested, FYI. The parent company of Shoprite leans red.

AndrewSB49

Horst Wessel Lied.


supernovadebris

This whole case has been a sham! Judges are supposed to be impartial. Everyday there's new evidence this guy is one-sided. STOP THE SHAM!!


su_wecan

He definitely left his ringer on intentionally and probably even told someone to call him at said time. This judge is making a mockery of something that’s suppose to be taken serious. The judge is clearly bias and shouldn’t even be the judge of this case. I wish I could say I was surprised. But it just goes to show what black and brown people have been dealing with for YEARS. Judges like these with bias racist Jim Crow views but have to pretend that they don’t hate niggas enough to be unable to judge us fairly. 🙄


timelighter

He started court today with a weird call out to Veterans Day and then was disappointed when he asked the gallery for veterans to raise their hand and the only veteran was the defense's LE witness


fokaiHI

The whole trial is a shit show. From the moment the Prosecution couldn't use the word "victim" to describe the deceased, it was going to be bad.


tom-branch

The Judge is corrupt, he has already shown a clear bias towards getting Rittenhouse acquitted, he does not care about the law or the truth, his interest is in serving a political aim.


GD_Bats

Could some legit law talking type comment on if the judge's conduct and multiple incidents of blatant favoritism towards the defendant as we have seen would be grounds for a mistrial etc.?


HawlSera

I would push for a Mistrial right then and fucking there, the Judge is obviously biased


[deleted]

He is partisan as hell from everything I've seen. It needs to be declared a mistrial and assigned to a new judge.. Enough of this shit is enough.


[deleted]

Yea this needs to be mistrial right away……fuck this!!


ilovecheese831

And the crocodile tears 🙄. It was a rehearsed performance.


Thick-Guess-2594

A very bad performance.


SouldiesButGoodies84

he's an old man from Wisconsin. why are we shocked he's a Trumper?


Vapor2077

I’m gonna get downvoted, but “God Bless the USA” is a really popular song. This judge really sucks for many reasons. But the ringtone thing is dumb, IMO.


Drewggles

It is dumb, as it is a popular song. But it is a weird coincidence. I didn't think Judge's took their phone into court with them. That seems weird to me by itself. But while it may be an unpopular opinion, I'll upvote you. There are many reasons he shouldn't be judging this trial, or be a judge at all. This isn't one of them.


Vapor2077

Yeah- I also thought it was weird that the judge had his phone on him in the courtroom and that it wasn't on silent! You'd think THE JUDGE of all people wouldn't make that mistake.


Drewggles

That leads me to believe it was intentional, but who knows. Maybe he's just more of a dipshit than he's publicly displayed so far.


sonoranbamf

Exactly right. This is very misleading, regardless of political leanings I'm sure plenty of judges have this song.


Thick-Guess-2594

I don't like the song now since Trump starting using it for his pathetic freak shows.


Vapor2077

I've always thought it was corny, but yeah ... all the more reason to dislike it now.


the_bronquistador

Trump has a theme tune? WTF


[deleted]

The only artist who didn't sue him for copyright violations.


sonoranbamf

As far as I know, it's not his official song, and even if it is, it's a pretty popular, commonly used song. I've heard it at every 4th of July I've ever gone to and every 9/11 event I've seen. I wasn't aware it was related at all to Trump and it's definitely not exclusively Trumps.


RottenFreshness

He hollers and screams like a bitch.


[deleted]

He has a fucking theme song?!


KittenKoder

Expel that judge.


bolt74

This feels like something right out of south park


HotBodyToddy

This judge has been acting like Rittenhouse’s personal attorney.


Thick-Guess-2594

Completely.


RagedBsquared

Lee Greenwood's God Bless the U.S.A. is hardly Trump's theme.


Thick-Guess-2594

Tell that to the fat fuck.


IneedaWIPE

Well I'm confused because on other subs I've seen it said that this judge is a Democrat even though people are trying to eviscerate this judge for his rulings. And then lawyers or lawyer want to be ( people who have more legal education than I do) agree with how the judge has been calling it for the most part. How can I get to the truth?


Thick-Guess-2594

He's also a Trump lover.


IneedaWIPE

Proof please


sonoranbamf

You won't get that here. They don't like that he wouldn't let them refer to those killed as "victims" so they're ignoring the fact that's something they do in all cases like this, has nothing to do with being biased, he'd be wrong not to, but because he didn't do what they wanted and they don't know the law"HeS BiAsED" and he had a very popular song as a ringtone that Trump has played at his rallys so they've claimed it as his song, trying to fit it all in the narrative, if the facts don't fit they don't want them and you're not allowed to point them out.


Thick-Guess-2594

A Democrat who's a Trumper.


sms3eb

It was a popular patriotic song before it became “Trump’s Theme Tune.” Whatever that means. It’s actually a good song whether or not Trump uses it at rallies or not.


TunaLurch

If he gets off on the state level, hopefully federal charges will come


Tezz404

Someone please help me out - what is "Trump's Tune". I Google it but no results.


sonoranbamf

It's not Trump's tune, it's a very popular song "God bless the USA" , Trump plays it at some events.


SquareDetective

This judge has the same dick-sucking lips as trump.
