The long, strange trip of Kyle Rittenhouse's trial
ABC News
Oddities in jury selection, "victims" vs. "looters" and a tasteless joke.
From the presiding judge playing a game of "Jeopardy!" with the jury to the defendant randomly drawing jurors' names from a raffle drum, the homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse has been full of odd moments and high courtroom drama.
The 12 jurors deciding the guilt or innocence of the 18-year-old Rittenhouse will enter their fourth day of deliberations on Friday, in the case Judge Bruce Schroeder described as one of the most complicated that he's been part of in his nearly four decades on the bench.
Rittenhouse has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree intentional homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
If convicted on all charges, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
