Jurors in Kyle Rittenhouse's homicide trial are set to begin deliberations today. The closing arguments took up most of Monday and came at the end of a two-week trial highlighted by emotional and illuminating testimony from Rittenhouse himself.
The prosecution argued Rittenhouse, 17 at the time, provoked the fatal shootings by pointing his AR-15-style weapon at Joseph Rosenbaum, prosecutors said Monday in closing arguments.Prosecution says Kyle Rittenhouse provoked fatal shootings, while defense says he feared for his life"That is what provokes this entire incident," prosecutor Thomas Binger said."When the defendant provokes this incident, he loses the right to self-defense.
If convicted on the most serious charge, Rittenhouse could face a mandatory sentence of life in prison.A misdemeanor weapons possession charge and a non-criminal curfew violation were dismissed by Judge Bruce Schroeder prior to deliberations. The charges stem from the chaotic unrest last year in the wake of the Kenosha Police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man.
