This is a series of tweets from the Kenosha court reporter. Gives you some insight into the judge. Tldr. He's super deferential to the presumption of innocence but comes down hard on conviction.
To be fair the prosecutor attempting to slip in information that the judge already ruled was inadmissible is a massive deal. The jurors are all humans and not legal experts. Even if they've been instructed to ignore the information, the fact that it's in their minds is going to skew their judgement. That was a very serious and intentional breach by the prosecutor.

And judges having outbursts at counsel will occur many times during the course of a multi-week trial. I typically have short-term PTSD after finishing a trial, even if I've won.
