Last year, Kyle Rittenhouse made headlines after he shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber while also injuring another individual. Rittenhouse, then 17, now 18, went to Kenosha with an AR-15 to protect the city from being ripped apart by rioters and looters.
At some point, the teenager found himself chased down by Rosenbaum, Huber, and others. At least one individual coming after Rittenhouse also had a pistol and threatened to murder him. Eventually, the situation came to a head when Rittenhouse fired his AR-15 against the aforementioned individuals to save his own life.
This whole situation then led to a lengthy trial. During the trial, prosecutor Thomas Binger was seen pointing an AR-15 at the jury with his finger on the trigger during a demonstration. Meanwhile, Rittenhouse’s defense team argued the shooting occurred for self-defense purposes.
Earlier today, the jury eventually found Rittenhouse not guilty on all charges.
What to know about Rittenhouse’s acquittal
During Rittenhouse’s trial, the 18-year-old faced an intentional homicide charge, along with four others that could have led to life in prison for him. Throughout the trial, left-wing activists did all they could to get a guilty verdict as the outcome.
