Which did the Jurors see?
The high def version. The problem is the defense wasn't given the high def version in order to prepare a defense. If they were, they could have conceivably seen that the pixel alleged to be Kyle's hand aiming at the Ziminskis (never happened) was actually from a mirror on the duramax. This is such a grave error, it alone could result in a mistrial, I think even with prejudice which would mean Kyle gets off and doesn't have to stand another trial.

Spot on.

You cannot provide one side an exhibit and then use something different.

This is basic evidentiary procedure, whether its criminal or civil.

How can the jury take more than five minutes to say "not guilty"?
Because the defense did a very poor job of vetting their jurors.

They refused behavior panel advice on jury screening,
They fialed to adequately voice objections on inclusion of illegal evidence
Barnes Polled (VIA Peoples Pundit) : 1 of 3 random jurors would hold out.

The reason they havent' come back with not guilty is 2 fold : The defense team is subpar all things together. AND This is a political trial and there are political partisans on the jury (4 of whom which have worn masks the entire time....)

Now I'm scared for Kyle. What is going to happen in your opinion?

In mine it's looking like a hung jury and then we pray for a mistrial with prejudice on appeal. It sounds like they have some mask wearing liberal wine aunts on the jury who want to see Kyle hang. There are many things at this point which could justify a mistrial or a mistrial with prejudice. There are so many things wrong with this trial, jury selection, juries in general, you could write a book on it. Media is clearly getting to the judge as well, today he addressed a local newspaper's criticism of him in court - not a good look. I wonder how that will affect the judge.

Breaking: Krauss appears to be lying and saying the reason the defense has a lower quality video is because of the defense's phone compressing it and changing the aspect ratio. I've never heard such a thing - as I'm aware you choose what quality to send and any compression is consented to from the sender's end, and even then it wouldn't change aspect ratio. He is also saying he cannot be held liable for this, even though the prosecution has the burden for this sort of thing. If they get away with this it's because of the judge's and the defense's tech illiteracy.

Can we confirm Binger is an :alien: ? Got to say he's a great speaker, probably very good in what he does. He does have less likeability though than the other guy who is more the housefather type, which could play a factor in a jury trial (once again proves the brilliance of the jury trial).
