Photos: Kyle Rittenhouse Not Guilty In Kenosha Killings

KENOSHA, WI — After 3½ days of deliberation, a jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin, found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty of all charges in the killing of two men and the injury of another during the Kenosha's Jacob Blake protests in August 2020.

Rittenhouse, 18, was acquitted of first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and reckless endangerment.

Protesters took to the streets of Kenosha after a white police officer was cleared in a shooting that left Jacob Blake, a Black man, partially paralyzed. Rittenhouse was 17 when he left his home in Antioch, Illinois, and went to Kenosha, where he walked among demonstrators with a loaded semi-automatic rifle.

Video showed Rittenhouse killing Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 28, and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz, 28. Rittenhouse testified at his trial that he shot the three men in self-defense.

The Rittenhouse case attracted national attention that reflected the deep divide over race in the United States. In Georgia, three white men are on trial in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery. In Virginia, a trial is underway in a lawsuit over the deadly white-supremacist rally held in Charlottesville in 2017. In another high-profile trial this year, Derek Chauvin was convicted of killing George Floyd, a Black man who died with the white Minneapolis police officer's knee on his neck.
