The first man shot by Kyle Rittenhouse on the streets of Kenosha during a night of turbulent protests lunged toward Rittenhouse's rifle in an attempt to take it away just before Rittenhouse fired, a reporter who took video testified Thursday.
Richie McGinniss, who was recording on a cellphone for the conservative website The Daily Caller, took the stand at Rittenhouse's murder trial and described watching as Joseph Rosenbaum chased down Rittenhouse in one of the most crucial and disputed moments of the night. It is one of the few moments not clearly captured on video.
"I think it was very clear to me that he was reaching specifically for the weapon," said McGinniss, who had been called to the stand by the prosecution.
In an attempt to undo some of the damage done by his own witness, prosecutor Thomas Binger said McGinniss' testimony about what Rosenbaum was intending to do was "complete guesswork."
"Isn't it?" he asked.
