Factbox: Key moments from closing arguments in Rittenhouse murder trial
In his summation, Rittenhouse's defense attorney told jurors his client was attacked by rioters and acted in self-defense because he feared for his life.
- Richards took aim at the strategy adopted by the prosecution in its closing statements. "When his case explodes in his face, now he comes out with provocation," Richards said of prosecutor Thomas Binger's argument that Rittenhouse provoked the events of that night by brandishing his weapon. "Provocation, I don't think so."
- "It's a tough choice but the evidence only leads to one conclusion," Richards said as he concluded his speech. "That is that Kyle Rittenhouse's conduct on August 25 was privileged based upon the actions of Mr. Rosenbaum and others. There are no winners in this case but putting Kyle Rittenhouse down for something he was privileged to do will serve no legitimate purpose.
- Binger argued that Rittenhouse lied when he said that night that Rosenbaum had pulled a gun, a statement that was captured on a video played for the court. "Joseph Rosenbaum didn't have a gun, the defendant knew he didn't have a gun," he said. "The defendant is lying to save his own skin instead of going and trying to help the person that he has just shot and killed."
