Will be taking this

Some preliminary thoughts:

• He is native to -> how about "he is a native of"?
• he continues to work in his role as an Assistant District Attorney -> superfluous; revise to "he continues to work as Assistant District Attorney"
• As lead prosecutor in a jury trial, Binger had the responsibility to prove to a jury that Rittenhouse had committed all offenses with which he had been charged beyond a reasonable doubt. -> Remove sentence as it's redundant to the fact mentioned several times that he's a prosecutor, whose primordial duty—proving to the government that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt—is not unique to the Rittenhouse trial
• Later, Binger criticized Schroeder for what Binger... -> "for what he" (pronoun-antecedent agreement)
• Three days later, Rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges by the jury, ending the criminal case against him. -> remove struck tautological phrase
• Italicize State v. Rittenhouse section heading

I think that's all my concerns with regard to criteria 1, 3, and 4. Will continue later to check whether the article passes against criterion 2 and 6. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 08:30, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

I just finished reviewing the article against criteria 2 and 6; no more issues in this regard. I'd be happy to pass this to GA once the prose issues are resolved. Putting this on hold for now. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 14:02, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

@Nineteen Ninety-Four guy: I've made changes for all of the above. For the first point, "he is native to" was changed to "he was raised in", which feels a bit more natural to me. The rest implemented your suggestions. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 14:53, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

OK, it's a pass. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 15:36, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
