Was the jury present for those exchanges?
Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Judge Schroeder can overturn a guilty verdict based on insufficient evidence given by the prosecutors. If the Judge thinks the jury reached a guilty verdict based on nonsense then it’s a possibility. So, I do think KR’s attorney was personality managing the judge.

I’d do it if I thought a judge were susceptible to that sort of thing.

That wasn't my question. Here's the information that I think you are referring to.

No, but irrelevant. The fact that the attorney brought it up meant that he felt it was addressing the question the judge was asking of him.
He was explaining why Rittenhouse paused before answering his question and consulted his attorney.

According to his attorney, Rittenhouse is in therapy for PTSD

Schroeder asked Rittenhouse: “Is there any reason for me to be concerned that you have some kind of disability, mental or emotional, that would prevent you from being fully aware of what your actions are and making a rational decision? Any reasons I should be concerned about that?”

Rittenhouse, 18, replied “No, Your Honor.”

Lead defense attorney Mark Richards of Racine then added: “He’s in therapy. I don’t think he has a mental illness or anything. As a result of this incident (referring to Aug. 25, 2020), he has PTSD.”

--------------

Strange that the attorney would cut him off and throw that in there unless he thought it was relevant to the trial.
See this account? It's half assed and inaccurate reporting.

If you watch any video of the shootings, the only people that got shot were the ones that attacked Rittenhouse. Again, a bunch of self righteous rioters who thought they could win against a long gun. His actions were pure self defense and he was smart enough to bring a gun that kept him alive and for that, PROGRESSIVES hate him for it. "" HOW DARE HE BRING AN EFFECTIVE WEAPON TO A RIOT WERE WE'RE BURNING AND LOOTING!! doesn't HE UNDERSTAND WE CAN DO WHAT EVER WE WANT!!! "" Progressives are some of the most ignorant, self righteous A-holes I have ever encountered. People chose to attack him and they paid the price, simple as that.

This is a great argument for leaving your firearms at home.

In the event of an active shooter, or if encountering anyone with a gun, just run, instead. ; )

Kyle's classmates said he had a tendency towards violence, often threatening anyone who would dare say anything negative about his Lord Trump. Last year he was caught on video beating up a female. One of his classmates said that every time he would lose an argument he'd say "I could Screw you up" but everyone would just laugh at him because he was a little chubby piglet of a kid. Some of his classmates said they viewed him as a potential shooter just because of the way he was. But of course, none of this will be admitted into evidence at court.

Kyle wanted attention so badly and he finally got it. And two people paid for it with their lives. It is the epitome of cowardice to do what he did. Everyone is a tough guy when they're armed to the teeth and beating up little girls. You can talk as bad as you want about everyone there protesting, calling them BLM, looters, arsonists, etc, but only a few of them were actually committing crimes and NONE of the were shooting guns. It only escalated to that because mommy's little piglet couldn't handle the situation he threw himself into without killing people.

This all sounds pretty accurate and predictable to me. I think he went there intending to shoot people and even kill them. I see him as a bully and a murderer. It is too bad that he will not be held legally accountable, and it is too bad that a number of the people involved, including the judge and the prosecutor, screwed things up so badly in their own way.
