Kyle Rittenhouse trial: Defense rests its case, jury expected to begin deliberations Monday
Fox News
Defense attorneys representing Kyle Rittenhouse, who is accused of fatally shooting two men and wounding a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin, rested its case on Thursday in the divisive murder trial, setting the stage for closing arguments early next week.
On Wednesday, Rittenhouse told the jury he was defending himself from attack and had no choice when he used his rifle to kill two men and wound a third on the streets of Kenosha in the summer of 2020.
Prosecutors have sought to portray Rittenhouse as the instigator of the bloodshed, which took place during a tumultuous night of protests against racial injustice. Rittenhouse’s attorneys, meanwhile, have repeatedly argued that their client was acting in self-defense.
