Kyle Rittenhouse's Call of Duty Habit and Post-Arrest Silence Aren't Evidence of His Guilt . . . "But there was another courtroom fixture centerstage on Monday: Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger, who—no matter how you feel about Rittenhouse—should serve as a reminder of just how pitifully low prosecutors will stoop while in pursuit of a conviction.
"Binger's Rittenhouse cross-examination should have been a big moment, which it was, but not for the reasons Binger would have hoped. He began with a probe of Rittenhouse's interest in purchasing an AR-15, asserting that Rittenhouse must have declined a pistol or a shotgun because of his Call of Duty habit. There are a few problems here: Players use many different sorts of guns in simulation games, including pistols and shotguns. But more fraught is the implication that playing violent video games somehow makes you a murderer, or more likely to murder someone—a hysterical assumption that is not based on fact.
"The questioning was desperate, but it quickly moved from breathless to potentially unconstitutional as Binger faced off multiple times with Judge Bruce Schroeder after the former noted Rittenhouse's post-arrest silence with the insinuation that it somehow indicated his guilt.
" 'I was astonished when you began your examination by commenting on the defendant's post-arrest silence," the judge said. "That's basic law. It's been basic law in this country" for decades, adding, "I don't know what you're up to."
