Witness: Shooting victim lunged toward Rittenhouse's rifle
CTV
Two and a half seconds before Kyle Rittenhouse began shooting in the streets of Kenosha, someone in the crowd fired a shot into the air, a detective testified at Rittenhouse's murder trial Thursday.
Richie McGinniss, a video director for the conservative website The Daily Caller, described watching as Joseph Rosenbaum chased Rittenhouse and caught up to him in one of the most crucial and disputed aspects of the case. It is one of the few moments not clearly documented on video.
Prosecutor Thomas Binger repeatedly pressed McGinniss -- a prosecution witness -- about whether Rosenbaum was actually falling when he was shot, as McGinniss said in a media interview days after the shooting.
But McGinniss said: "He was he was lunging, falling. I would use those as synonymous terms in this situation because basically, you know, he threw his momentum towards the weapon. And when the weapon wasn't there, his momentum was continuing."
"And that's the point at which he fired," McGinniss said, referring to Rittenhouse.
