Timcast IRL #405 - Prosecutors Engage in GROSS Misconduct, Judge Threatens Mistrial w/Jack Murphy
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode 405, recorded on November 11, 2021, featured Tim Pool and co-hosts alongside guest Jack Murphy discussing the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, which had reached a dramatic turning point with prosecutor misconduct. The hosts covered how the prosecution had committed what the judge called a grave constitutional violation by questioning Rittenhouse about his right to remain silent, as well as introducing evidence the judge had explicitly banned from admission. Judge Schroeder reportedly yelled at prosecutors and threatened consequences if further violations occurred, with the defense subsequently filing a motion for mistrial with prejudice. The panel also discussed Anna Kasparian of The Young Turks admitting she had been wrong about the case after watching the trial proceedings, and criticized mainstream media coverage as malpractice. Additional topics included Jimmy Kimmel's comments attributing Kamala Harris's low approval ratings to racism and sexism, as well as new developments in the Alec Baldwin Rust movie set shooting, where a witness claimed the scene did not call for Baldwin to draw and point a weapon. Jack Murphy joined the discussion to share his perspective on the trial's national significance and its potential implications for anyone defending themselves.
