It was a milestone in its goal towards eventually launching astronauts into space in 2022.

The pieces are flying down at thousands of miles per hour and the rocket breaks up in the atmosphere, the resulting debris could spread for thousands of kilometres. Even though the leftover pieces of Long March 5B were mostly over the Atlantic, there was a possibility that the debris could have hit Australian, US or even African landmasses. <div type="twitter" handle="planet4589" handlename="Jonathan McDowell" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/271119562/jcmy2_normal.jpg" favoritecount="27" retweetcount="9" status="Updated SpaceTrack reentry prediction for CZ-5B core stage: between 1330 UTC and 1730 UTC May 11.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Jury deliberations began Tuesday in the <keyword id="11899148" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="kyle-rittenhouse" source="Orion">Kyle Rittenhouse</keyword> trial. </li><li>Rittenhouse killed two people and injured a third during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer. </li></ul>The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is drawing to a close, as <a href="https://www.insider.com/what-charges-the-kyle-rittenhouse-jury-considers-explainer-2021-11">jury deliberations began Tuesday morning</a> in what has become one of the most high-profile homicide cases in the country. Rittenhouse, 18, stands accused of killing two people and injuring a third during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him, and argued that he acted in self defense. Americans have been able to follow along via livestream as the case was argued in court and at times got contentious. The judge repeatedly admonished the prosecution, including one moment where he accused lead prosecutor Thomas Binger of a "grave constitutional violation." The defense has filed a motion for a mistrial with prejudice — meaning Rittenhouse could not be retried on the same charges — over some of Binger's lines of questioning. Witnesses called by the prosecution also <a href="https://www.insider.com/witnesses-suggest-kyle-rittenhouse-opened-fire-in-self-defense-2021-11">gave testimony that suggested Rittenhouse acted in self-defense</a>, inadvertently undermining the state's case.As the nation braces for a verdict, Insider spoke to three legal experts who evaluated the prosecution's performance, in particular that of Binger, and the reviews were mixed. The Kenosha County District Attorney's office did not immediately respond Tuesday to Insider's request for comment.<h2>The state was too ambitious in charging Rittenhouse, according to one legal expert</h2>Paul E. Bucher, a defense attorney based in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, and who spent nearly three decades working as a prosecutor, told Insider the Kenosha County District Attorney's office was overly confident about the charges they could successfully prosecute against Rittenhouse. Bucher said prosecutors complicated what in his mind is a "straight up homicide case" by "cluttering it up with unnecessary junk."In addition to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and one count of attempted first-degree homicide, prosecutors levied four other charges against Rittenhouse. Those charges included two counts of reckless endangerment and two less-serious counts that were eventually tossed during the trial, related to a curfew violation and possessing a dangerous weapon as a minor.<div type="image" title="Kyle Rittenhouse breaks down in court" height="1080" width="1920" msid="87746562" hostid="261"></div>"This is a homicide case and you should treat it as that, rather than throwing everything against the wall and seeing what sticks," Bucher said.If he were prosecuting the case, Bucher said he would have dropped the lesser charges in favor of focusing on the homicide and attempted homicide charges.By throwing the book at Rittenhouse, Bucher said prosecutors lost "focus on what this case is about," which he said is the two people who were killed and a third who nearly had his "arm blown off."This lack of focus made it hard for the prosecution to argue a succinct case to the <a href="https://www.insider.com/details-the-kyle-rittenhouse-jury-wont-consider-during-deliberations-2021-11">jury</a>, Bucher said. "I saw a bunch of gobbledygook, a lot of arguments over nothing," Bucher said. "There was a lot of junk coming into the case that was not relevant."<h2>Prosecutors ran afoul of the judge multiple times during the trial</h2>The prosecution drew Kenosha County <a href="https://www.insider.com/kyle-rittenhouse-judge-bruce-schroeder-polarizing-figure-at-trial-2021-11">Judge Bruce Schroeder's</a> ire throughout the trial. In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv4kxzOIlPY">one notable moment</a>, Schroeder <a href="https://www.insider.com/judge-shouts-constitutional-violation-kyle-rittenhouse-prosecutor-2021-11">yelled at the prosecution</a> for questioning why Rittenhouse stayed silent on the shootings until the trial, which Schroeder said crossed the line into violating Rittenhouse's constitutional right not to incriminate himself.Schroeder also called out Binger for trying to slip evidence into court that he had forbidden in a pre-trial ruling. Binger tried to reference a <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/videos/news/crime/2021/08/19/rittenhouse-can-heard-saying-wish-had-my-expletive-ar/8188781002/">video </a>— recorded weeks before the Kenosha shootings — in which Rittenhouse commented about people leaving a CVS pharmacy clutching items: "I wish I had my fucking AR, I'd start shooting rounds at them," but the prosecutor was shut down.Based on what he has seen of the trial, Bucher said he sided with Schroeder and thinks the judge could have been "much more strict if he wanted to be." Meanwhile, Marquette University law professor Janine Geske and Daniel Maxwell, a distinguished criminal justice lecturer at the University of New Haven, both felt that the prosecution did a good job. Geske said she doesn't think Binger set out to violate Rittenhouse's constitutional rights by questioning why he had chosen to remain silent until now, but that doing so "has the potential for blowing up a whole case." But Geske said she believes Binger was intentionally trying to slip Rittenhouse's comments about "shooting rounds" past the judge, in order to illustrate that Rittenhouse's comments on the stand — that he believes it's inappropriate to use deadly force to protect property — did not align with his actions. "I think he knows it's a tough case, it's an extremely tough case, and I think he just wanted that evidence in," Geske said of Binger. "My guess is that the state thought the judge was going to allow it." The fact that the judge snapped at Binger over this issue is likely a reflection of how stressful and tiring these cases are, Geske said. "The prosecution just tried to get away with it and didn't succeed," she said. "I don't think it harmed them in the long run."Maxwell added that it's "not uncommon for prosecutors and defense attorneys to push for their arguments a little bit." The heated exchanges between the judge and Binger have been "blown out of proportion," he added.<div type="image" title="Bruce Schroeder" height="1333" width="2000" msid="87746564" hostid="261"></div>Bucher says the prosecution could have more effectively argued their case if they made their point quickly, rather than spending <a href="https://twitter.com/cathyrusson/status/1460341646306856961">about two hours</a> Monday on closing statements, according to one Law &amp; Crime reporter's estimates. "If you hadn't already alienated this jury already, this is the nail in the coffin," Bucher said.Geske disagreed, saying she thought the closing arguments were one of the highlights of the prosecution's performance. Prosecutors painted Rittenhouse as a "wannabe soldier" who went looking for trouble in Kenosha the evening of the shooting, according to <a href="https://www.insider.com/kyle-rittenhouse-defense-says-prosecutors-made-political-case-2021-11">Insider's Michelle Mark</a>, who has been covering the trial."I thought Binger did a nice job of talking about the theme, the provocation, and really focusing the jury on how Rittenhouse had been the aggressor," she said. <h2>Rittenhouse's performance on the stand was out of prosecutors' control</h2>The legal experts agreed that there were aspects of the trial that were out of prosecutors' hands, such as how well Rittenhouse performed on the stand, and calling witnesses that inadvertently, and sometimes explicitly, made statements <a href="https://www.insider.com/witnesses-suggest-kyle-rittenhouse-opened-fire-in-self-defense-2021-11">supporting the self-defense argument.</a>"There's a risk in getting any witness up there, but these were the people who were there, so they had to tell their story," Maxwell said. Bucher said he sympathizes with the state on this point, saying sometimes prosecutors are forced "to put on a bad witness," or find that a witness says a completely different thing on the stand than was planned. As for Rittenhouse's decision to testify, Bucher said that every prosecutor salivates at the prospect of a defendant crumbling on the stand. But Rittenhouse likely <a href="https://www.insider.com/kyle-rittenhouse-testifies-homicide-trial-kenosha-2021-11">performed</a> better than the prosecution expected, Bucher said. During his testimony, Rittenhouse started crying uncontrollably when describing his state of mind as he was being pursued by the first man he killed, Joseph Rosenbaum. The judge ordered a recess, and after court resumed, Rittenhouse was controlled and stuck to his story that he only acted in self defense. "I believe they thought Mr. Rittenhouse might not have done as well as he did," Bucher said. "He held his own for sure.""Rittenhouse was prepared so well by his lawyers that the prosecution didn't get much out of him," Geske said, adding of Binger's cross examination, "I thought he was very methodical."Maxwell predicts Rittenhouse won't escape conviction, given that Schroeder permitted the jury to consider lesser charges that will allow Rittenhouse "to be held accountable" while not "punishing him to the max."But Maxwell doesn't think the prosecution will be to blame if Rittenhouse is acquitted."I think if he gets off the hook, this will be a reflection of our current times in general," he said.

The security firm, which now exists under another name, was contracted by the State Department to provide protection for diplomats in Iraq. The company was founded by Erik Prince, the brother of Trump's education secretary.Slatten, Slough, Liberty, and Heard were involved in a tragedy of the <keyword id="6608481" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Iraq-War">Iraq War</keyword> known as the Nisour Square massacre. They were part of an armored convoy that opened fire in a crowded area of Baghdad on September 16, 2007, using <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/four-former-blackwater-employees-found-guilty-charges">machine guns, sniper fire, and grenade launchers</a> against civilians.It resulted in 14 deaths that FBI investigators determined <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/14/world/middleeast/14blackwater.html">were unjustified</a>. Seventeen people were killed in total."Many were shot while inside civilian vehicles that were attempting to flee from the convoy. One victim was shot in the chest while standing in the street with his hands up. Another was injured from a grenade fired into a nearby girls' school," US Attorney Jeffrey Taylor <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/09/world/americas/09iht-09blackwater.18506761.html">said in 2008</a>.One FBI agent referred to the incident as the "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/world/middleeast/blackwater-contractors-iraq-sentences.html">My Lai massacre of Iraq</a>," referring to the <a href="https://www.history.com/topics/vietnam-war/my-lai-massacre-1#:~:text=The%20My%20Lai%20massacre%20was,Lai%20on%20March%2016%2C%201968.">1968 massacre of civilians by US soldiers in Vietnam</a>.The 2007 killings, which escalated tensions between the US and Iraq, were condemned around the world and pushed the US to reassess its use of private contractors in war zones.<h2>'Pardoning these murderers is a disgrace'</h2><div type="image" title="In these various file photos, Blackwater guards, from left, Dustin Heard, Paul Slough, Evan Liberty and Nicholas Slatten." height="1514" width="4500" msid="79928548" hostid="261"></div>The White House suggested the pardons of the four former Blackwater guards were "broadly supported by the public," pointing to approval from people like Fox <keyword id="6355005" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="news">News</keyword>' Pete Hegseth and a list of Republican lawmakers in Congress.But Hina Shamsi, the director of the American Civil Liberties Union's National Security Project, <a href="https://twitter.com/Yamiche/status/1341580022872748033?s=20">said</a> the president had "hit a disgraceful new low with the Blackwater pardons."Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisMurphyCT/status/1341762622144860162?s=20">said in a tweet</a> that "pardoning these murderers is a disgrace.""They shot women and kids who had their hands in the air," Murphy added. "But it's all part of a plan to limit Biden's national security tools. These pardons will greatly damage U.S.-Iraq relations, at a critical moment."Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota <a href="https://twitter.com/Ilhan/status/1341584144665554946?s=20">said</a> that "pardoning monstrous criminals will leave a dark mark on the history of presidential pardons."Haider Ahmed, a former taxi driver who was shot four times in the leg in 2007, on Wednesday questioned why he bothered testifying."I went to that court because I thought there is a real law there. A law where I could take my rights, regardless of my color or religion," Ahmed said, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/iraq-blackwater-military-contractors-pardons/2020/12/23/062ee814-44bb-11eb-ac2a-3ac0f2b8ceeb_story.html">according to The Washington Post</a>. "I told the court the truth. I told them how they were just shooting at us randomly."He added, "Why did I bother?"<h2>The youngest victim was only 9</h2><div type="image" title="Nisour square" height="1346" width="2000" msid="79928553" hostid="261"></div>The first case against the Blackwater guards involved in the Nisour Square massacre was thrown out, but at the urging of Joe Biden, then the vice president, the Department of Justice retried the case.When the case was again brought before a court in 2014, federal prosecutors alleged that Slatten opened fire first and did so without any provocation. Slatten, a Tennessee native and former member of the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division, was eventually found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.He was convicted of murder in the death of Ahmed Haithem Ahmed Al Rubia'y, who <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/four-former-blackwater-employees-found-guilty-charges">the Department of Justice described</a> as an aspiring doctor who was driving his mother to an appointment. His mother, a medical professional named Mahassin Mohssen Kadhum Al-Khazali, was also killed in the massacre.Slatten appealed his conviction, but after a retrial, the ruling was sustained in 2018. He was again sentenced to life in prison in 2019.Slough, Liberty, and Heard were charged with and later convicted of many counts of voluntary and attempted manslaughter, as well as firearm offenses. Each was initially sentenced to 30 years in prison, but those sentences were later reduced through appeals."In killing and maiming unarmed civilians, these defendants acted unreasonably and without justification," prosecutors <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/four-former-blackwater-employees-sentenced-decades-prison-fatal-2007-shootings-iraq">said in 2015</a> when Slatten and the others were first sentenced. "In combination, the sheer amount of unnecessary human loss and suffering attributable to the defendants' criminal conduct on Sept.16, 2007, is staggering."Among the other victims of the Nisour Square massacre were Osama Fadhil Abbas, a car salesman; Mohamed Abbas Mahmoud, a delivery-truck driver, and Qasim Mohamed Abbas Mahmoud, his 11-year-old son; Sa'adi Ali Abbas Alkarkh, a businessman; Mushtaq Karim Abd Al-Razzaq, an Iraqi soldier; Ibrahim Abid Ayash, a gardener; Hamoud Sa'eed Abttan and Usday Ismail Ibrahiem, aspiring Iraqi army workers; Mahdi Sahib Nasir, a taxi driver; Ali Khalil Abdul Hussein, who was commuting to work on a motorcycle; and Ghaniyah Hassan Ali, who was on a bus with her daughter.The youngest victim was a 9-year-old boy named Ali Mohammed Hafedh Abdul Razzaq, who was shot in the head while riding in the back seat of his family's car.The US offered the families of the victims $10,000, acknowledging that this could not truly compensate them for their losses, <a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/blackwaters-youngest-victim/">The Nation reported in 2010</a>. After initially refusing to take the money, Ali's parents agreed to accept it on the condition that half be donated to the family of a US service member killed in Iraq. The boy's mother personally delivered the money to the US Embassy.When Ali's father, Mohammed Hafedh Abdulrazzaq Kinani, testified against his son's killers, he cried uncontrollably in the courtroom, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/26/us/in-us-court-iraqis-accusing-blackwater-of-murders-in-07.html">The New York Times reported</a>. Testimony presented during the 2014 trial haunted some of the jurors - they said they were unable to sleep afterward.During the sentencing of the Blackwater guards, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/14/us/ex-blackwater-guards-sentenced-to-prison-in-2007-killings-of-iraqi-civilians.html">Ali's father said</a>: "Today we see who will win. The law? Or Blackwater?"The latest Trump pardons follow a pattern. Last year, the president pardoned Army 1st Lt. Clint Lorance and Maj. Mathew Golsteyn, both of whom had been charged with or convicted of war crimes. He also interfered in the war-crimes trial of former Navy SEAL Edward Gallagher.<a href="https://abcnews.go.com/International/family-members-iraqis-killed-blackwater-contractors-condemn-pardons/story?id=74876973&amp;cid=social_twitter_abcnabcn">Ali's father told ABC News</a> on Wednesday that Trump's pardons were a betrayal of the US justice system and that such actions leave open the door to future atrocities.
