A Wisconsin jury on Friday found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty in the shooting deaths of two men during protests in Kenosha last year, ending a trial that touched on gun rights and race.
Rittenhouse, 18, of Antioch, Ill., was cleared of five charges related to his actions during protests last Aug. 25 over the fatal shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man by a white police officer in Kenosha.
Rittenhouse is charged with the death of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and the intentional killing of Anthony Huber, 26.
He also faces a charge of attempted manslaughter for the aggravated assault of Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, a paramedic in a Milwaukee suburb where he had volunteered to provide medical care that night. He also faces two counts of recklessly endangering safety.
Rittenhouse, wearing a dark suit and Burgundy shirt, was overcome with emotion as the fifth not guilty verdict was read out in court.
He bent down and hugged defense attorney Corey Chirafisi, who had to tell his client to relax and breathe.
