Jurors weighing charges against Kyle Rittenhouse were to return for a second day of deliberations in his murder trial, after they failed to reach a verdict on whether he was the instigator in a night of bloodshed in Kenosha or a concerned citizen.
As the jury deliberated, dozens of protesters — some for Rittenhouse, some against — stood outside the courthouse. Some talked quietly with those on the other side, while others shouted insults. One woman could be heard repeatedly calling some Rittenhouse supporters “white supremacists.”
“Regardless of the outcome in this case, I urge peace in Kenosha and across our state,” Evers tweeted. He added: “I ask all those who choose to assemble and exercise their First Amendment rights in every community to do so safely and peacefully.”The large protests that some had anticipated did not materialize during the trial’s testimony phase.
, prosecutor Thomas Binger said that Rittenhouse was a “wannabe soldier” who set the deadly chain of events in motion by bringing a rifle to a protest and pointing it at protesters just before he was chased.that Rittenhouse was ambushed by a “crazy person” — Rosenbaum.
