Rittenhouse Prosecutor Concealed the Identity of a Key Player in the Kenosha Shootings From the Defense Team

One of the central figures in the shootings of August 25, 2020, in Kenosha, WI, was the guy the prosecution called “Jump Kick Man.” As Rittenhouse lies flat on his back on the street, “Jump Kick Man” races up and, well, lands a jump kick on Rittenhouse’s head. You can see him in the right foreground wearing white trousers as this video starts.

Rittenhouse fires at least one shot at that assailant. However, that attack ensured that Lefty Grosskreutz could catch up with Rittenhouse, menace him with a loaded weapon he illegally possessed, and get shot. Shooting at Drop Kick Man is Count #3, Reckless Endangerment, in Rittenhouse’s indictment.
This man was known only as “Drop Kick Man,” and the prosecution left the impression he had not been identified throughout the trial.
Pardon my shocked face as I report to you that not only is the identity of “Drop Kick Man” known, it was known before the trial ended (in reality, they almost certainly knew before it started), he offered to testify for the prosecution, and they turned down his offer, and they
never shared that information with the defense.
Not only was he known to the prosecution, the number two prosecutor on the case, James “Doughnut Boy” Kraus, had prosecuted him at least twice, and his last conviction was before this current judge.

I’m not saying that knowing his identity would have been a game-changer in the trial, but it would have been evident that every shot fired by Rittenhouse that night was aimed at a convicted felon who was attacking him. One has to think that would have made a difference.
Suppressing the real name of “Drop Kick Man” simply makes the persecution of Kyle Rittenhouse more consistent.
All of his assailants were felons. There was the psycho child rapist, the domestic abuser, the perennial DUI, an illegal firearm possessor, and a felon out on bond.
The prosecution kept up its record of acting unethically and immorally. The lackwit “first chair” on the case, Binger, engaged in a grave constitutional violation, the judge’s words, not mine, when he tried to get the jury to infer guilt from Rittenhouse’s pre-trial silence. He lied relentlessly. He barely knew his ass from a hot rock. He hid evidence from the defense (
Rittenhouse Trial Delves Into if Clearer Video Was Withheld From Defense). In a way, we need to be thankful for the jiggling lump of gelatinous failure that was Doughnut Boy, his number two for the comic relief.
The judge talked a big game, but when it came time to actually make decisions that needed to be made, he became just another clown in the circus, letting the prosecution do whatever the hell it wanted to do despite his play-to-the-camera scoldings.
