Prime Time Crime

On August 25, 2020, after the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Kyle Rittenhouse, shot and killed two men and wounded another during confrontations at two locations. He was armed with a Smith & Wesson M&P15 rifle. Rittenhouse, a then 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, said he was there to provide medical aid as he was carrying a medkit. At the first location, Rittenhouse was pursued by a group, including a Kenosha resident Joseph Rosenbaum. A gunshot was fired into the air by a third party, and Rosenbaum lunged at Rittenhouse and attempted to take his rifle. Rittenhouse then fired four times at Rosenbaum, who died shortly afterwards. At the second location, Rittenhouse tripped while fleeing and was kicked by a man. Rittenhouse fired twice at the man, but missed. Protesters approached Rittenhouse while he was still on the ground. Then Silver Lake resident Anthony Huber struck Rittenhouse with a skateboard and struggled for control of his rifle. Rittenhouse then fired at Huber once, killing him. West Allis resident Gaige Grosskreutz then approached Rittenhouse while holding a handgun, and Rittenhouse shot him once, severing his right bicep. Now he is 18, and being tried as an adult, facing homicide and several other serious charges. To help us break down what’s happening in this trial —from a defense point of view— criminal defense attorney Joe Rosenbaum (who ironically has the same name as one of the two men Rittenhouse shot and killed) joins Katrina Daniel for a deep dive into this fast and deadly crime spree.

The deadly accidental shooting on the set of the Alec Baldwin film Rust, is a perfect storm. Baldwin held the gun and pulled the trigger. A live bullet passed through cinematographer Halyna Hutchins who was behind the camera, and lodged into director Joel Souza’s shoulder. Hutchins did not survive, Souza was injured. So who is responsible? Assistant director Dave Halls who allegedly handed the firearm to Baldwin, armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reid, executive producer Baldwin? The low-budget set was plagued with walk-offs by union crews quickly replaced with non-union workers just hours before the shooting. Katrina Daniel and her guests, criminal defense attorney Michael Rosen, homicide detective Jeff Lewis, discuss how this tragedy could have been prevented and the legal ramifications to be expected.

Infamous R&B recording artist, R. Kelly, won't be flying after all. Kelly, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was found guilty on all counts of sex trafficking and sex with minors by a New York jury. He faces decades in prison. prosecutors called more than 45 witnesses against him, the trial took six weeks of taxpayer's money, BUT the jury took just nine hours to convict him. To a defense attorney, that's a slap in the face. On this episode of Prime Time Crime, Katrina Daniel and her guest Criminal Defense Attorney, Joe Rosenbaum, dissect the R. Kelly case.
