The 18-year-old who fatally shot two men and wounded a third during protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin was found not guilty
on five counts of homicide and other charges after three days of deliberations by the jury.
Over several emotional days of testimony, Rittenhouse claimed he had acted reasonably to defend himself, and on Friday, the jury appeared to accept his argument, despite being shown aof Rittenhouse shooting the three men—Gaige Grosskreutz, Anthony Huber, and Joseph Rosenbaum—with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle. Lawyers for the estates of Rosenbaum and Grosskreutz released a statement calling for peace instead of violence and saying, “What we need right now is justice, not more violence.
, “This heartbreaking verdict is a miscarriage of justice and sets a dangerous precedent which justifies federal review by DOJ. Justice cannot tolerate armed persons crossing state lines looking for trouble while people engage in First Amendment-protected protest.”
