Grosskreutz, 26, who Rittenhouse is accused of shooting in the arm, will be cross examined by prosecutors and defense attorneys. Prosecutors will rest their case Tuesday, Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger said.
Rittenhouse will testify after prosecutors rest their case, defense attorneys said. Defense attorneys say Rittenhouse acted in self-defense in the fatal shooting that killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36 and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounded Grosskreutz.

Jason Lackowski, a Marine Corps veteran who testified Friday, said that Rosenbaum told armed civilians to "shoot him." He said that Rosenbaum was acting belligerent but didn't physically hurt anyone else at a protest.
Amber Rasmussen, a DNA analyst at the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratories, testified that samples were swabbed from the barrel shroud, pistol grip and magazines from Rittenhouse's rifle. She said that Rosenbaum's DNA wasn't found on Rittenhouse's rifle, but it wasn't submitted as a sample.
