Kyle Rittenhouse trial: Jury selection begins as judge tells potential jurors, 'This is not a political trial'
Fox News
The first day of jury selection in the trial of Illinois man Kyle Rittenhouse, who is accused of fatally shooting two men and wounding a third during a night of violence and unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The jury that is ultimately selected in the politically charged case will have to decide whether Rittenhouse acted in self-defense, as his lawyers claim, or was engaged in vigilantism when he opened fire with an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle.
Rittenhouse, 18, faces life in prison if convicted of the most serious charge against him: first-degree homicide.
