Kyle Rittenhouse Was Acquitted Of All Charges In 2020 Kenosha Shootings!Show more

KENOSHA, WIS. (CBS) — Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges on Friday, after his trial for shooting three people, killing two of them in Kenosha last year.

Rittenhouse broke down in tears, nearly collapsing as a court clerk announced the jury had found him not guilty of all charges. He had faced five counts, including charges of first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree reckless endangerment, first-degree intentional homicide, and attempted first-degree attempted homicide. He faced up to life in prison had he been convicted. Fox News’ Tucker Carlson tweeted Rittenhouse’s comment as he rode in the passenger seat of a car following the verdict.

“The jury reached the correct verdict. Self-defense is not illegal, and I believe they came to the correct verdict – and I’m glad that everything went well,” Rittenhouse said in the video tweeted by Carlson. “It’s been a rough journey, but we made it through it. We made it through the hard part.”

There was no question Rittenhouse shot anyone, and the trial boiled down to whether he was legitimately acting in self-defense. He had been charged in connection with the shootings of three people in August 2020 during protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz during the widespread civil unrest in Kenosha after Blake was shot by police.
