A Wisconsin jury has found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty in the shooting deaths of two men during a protest in Kenosha last year, capping a trial that touched on gun rights and race.
Rittenhouse, 18, of nearby Antioch, Illinois, was cleared of all five charges related to his actions last August 25 during protests over the shooting of Jacob Black, a black man, by a white police officer in Kenosha.
Rittenhouse is charged with reckless homicide in the death of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and voluntary manslaughter in the death of Anthony Huber, 26.
He also faces a charge of attempted intentional homicide for the serious injury of Gaige Grosskreutz, a 27-year-old paramedic in suburban Milwaukee, where he volunteered to provide medical care that night, and two counts of recklessly endangering safety.
Rittenhouse, wearing a dark suit and Burgundy shirt, became emotional as the court read out the fifth not guilty verdict.
He rolled over and then hugged defense attorney Corey Chilafisi, who had to tell his client to relax and breathe.
