Defense seeks mistrial in Kyle Rittenhouse case after judge slams ‘brazen’ prosecutor
Binger is admonished by Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger is admonished by Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder during Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial at the Kenosha County Courthouse in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Wednesday.

Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyers on Wednesday asked for a mistrial with prejudice after prosecutors ignored rulings the judge previously made on inadmissible evidence as well as their line of questioning.
