    Why would they risk that? Grosskreutz or whatever his name is ended the prosecution’s case. The fucking trial was over. Putting Kyle on the stand has zero upside, and only potential to let the prosecution back in the game. I’m no lawyer, but that seems fucking stupid.

    It's a bad move.

    Only reason is to show his humanity and counter the monster WS image that the media has created.

    They had already done that for the jury without putting him on the stand.

    With the pressure on this jury I’m not sure his attorneys can feel confident that message was received. His description is of someone being targeted by thugs intent on doing serious physical harm to him.

    All out there. Just sum it up in closing. Kyle makes some out of context statement, like I don't support BLM or All Lives Matter and you give the jury a bone that he had it coming. Seems hard to see though how you get a unanimous jury to convict. There is no way the state wants a retrial. Like I said, the judge needs to step up and give a directed verdict.

    This seems insanely stupid. You've won, why risk this?

    I agree. Why has the judge not just thrown this out with prejudice and said "the prosecution did not prove the elements of the case/" Probably political pressure is all I can assume.
