Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder ruled Monday that the term victims was off the table but Rittenhouse's attorneys could describe the men as "rioters" or "looters" if they can produce the evidence. "If more than one of these people were engaged in arson, rioting or looting, then I'm not going to tell the defense they can't call them that," Schroeder said during a hearing. The judge later added, "The word victim is a loaded, loaded word. And I think alleged victim is a cousin to it."
prejudicial: calling slain protestors victims
not prejudicial: labeling slain protesters as felons even when they've obviously not been prosecuted.
This seems fucky, would like to see what the judge actually said but expectations are on the floor.
