Fresh off of a Michigan Wolverines loss and a last-minute schedule change, Norm calls an audible to provide an update and assessment of the latest developments in the State of Wisconsin v. Rittenhouse criminal proceedings, with jury selection set to begin Monday, November 1, 2021. 

During last week's hearing, Judge Bruce Schroeder ruled that the prosecution will be prohibited from referring to the decedents as "victims" during the course of the trial. 

Norm takes this opportunity to unpack the premise underlying Judge Schroeder's ruling and to illustrate that, "calling names is not proof."

Norm lays out the relevant legal standards attendant to the charges against Rittenhouse and also explains the nature of the self-defense legal burden and where that burden properly resides at trial. 

Of course, this discussion would not be complete without an analysis of jury selection, what seasoned defense attorneys are looking for, and what Norm means when he says he looks for "bounce" in determining who is the best fit to sit on a jury.
