#Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges trial#
Rather, the trial was intended as an assessment of whether Rittenhouse’s actions were “reasonable. With more than a dozen videos of the night’s events shown during the trial, the exact events of the altercation were not the topic of debate in the case. Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who killed two people and shot another during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was acquitted Friday of first-degree intentional homicide and four other felony charges. Rittenhouse and his lawyers argued that he acted out of self-defense as a response to Rosenbaum chasing after the teenager and throwing a bag at him. Prosecutors called 22 witnesses over the trial to demonstrate that Rittenhouse acted recklessly during the incident, arguing that Rittenhouse instigated the confrontation by first pointing a rifle at Rosenbaum.
Rittenhouse’s actions came during a protest against police brutality that was intended as a response to the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black father who was left partially paralyzed after a white officer fired at him in front of his children. Rittenhouse shot and killed two people during protests in 2020.
Last summer, Rittenhouse, a teenager from Antioch, Ill., used a semi-automatic rifle to shoot three men, killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz during an altercation in Kenosha, Wis. In Kenosha, Wis., Kyle Rittenhouse's high-profile homicide trial has ended and he has been found not-guilty on all charges. Jurors found Rittenhouse, 18, not guilty on all charges: two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide for wounding a third man, and two counts of recklessly endangering safety in.
