Schroeder refused both of Binger’s requests. During a testy hearing the judge said people out on bail often fail to update their addresses and aren’t arrested. He ordered Rittenhouse attorney Mark Richards to turn over Rittenhouse’s current physical address but said it would be sealed to the public and only he and the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department would have access to it.
The judge refused to give Binger the address, saying he didn’t want more violence in Kenosha. The move — and the comment — left Binger flabbergasted.
“I hope you’re not suggesting sharing this with our office would lead to further violence,” Binger said. “We are not the public. We are the prosecuting agency. I have never heard of a situation where the information has been withheld from my office.”
There’s a back story here…
Looks like Binger’s in trouble. My guess: he’s over-charging Kyle and Teh Judge knows it.
Likely the Judge is disappointed in how Binger is focusing his energies and resources on this one case while the city still has unsolved crimes like broken courthouse windows, burnt shells of private businesses, ugly barricades.
“The judge refused to give Binger the address…”
Known in lawyerman speak as a “beech slap”,
Or in this case, “BEECH SSSSSLAP!”
Ok, I know I harp on this all the time, but I can’t let it slide… ever. Read the following description of the encounter from the cited Yahoo article and tell me if your blood doesn’t boil…..
“Rittenhouse allegedly opened fire on protesters Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz with an AR-15-style rifle.”
