I'm confident that this case wouldn't have gone to trial if it hadn't occurred during the Summer of Peaceful Arson, Looting, Assault, and Murder. BLM isn't the DNC, but the media promotion of their rioting occurred because the media perception was that the rioting helped the DNC.
I'm also curious how many stern warnings the judge will give the prosecutors. Isn't this 3 now? One for bringing up the 5th Amendment, one for bringing in evidence the judge had twice excluded, and one today for not providing the defense team the same video the defense essentially made the key to their case. I remember Mrs. Sales teaching us that prosecutors couldn't do that in 9th grade Civics class. This is ridiculous.
