Kyle Rittenhouse Acquitted On All Charges

Kyle Rittenhouse has been acquitted on all charges related to last
year's shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The 18-year-old was charged with five felonies; first-degree
intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, attempted
first-degree intentional homicide, and two counts of first-degree
recklessly endangering safety.

Rittenhouse hugged his attorney after the verdict was read.

The jury reached their decision after four days of deliberations,
which lasted longer than anyone - including Judge Bruce Schroeder, had
expected. It came amid two mistrial requests from the defense over
high-definition video evidence which was withheld - possibly
unintentionally - by the prosecution. Rittenhouse's attorneys claimed
that an inferior copy of a potentially crucial video could have
affected their defense.

Prosecutors were visibly crestfallen after the verdict was read.

On Thursday, a juror asked Schroeder if she could take the jury
instructions home, which was granted. The jury also asked to review
the drone footage that was a 'linchpin' in the prosecution's case, as
well as the best views of all the shootings compiled from six video
clips.

Rittenhouse, now 18, shot and killed two men who were pursuing him and
injured a third during the 2020 riots in Kenosha. The former police
youth cadet faces life in prison if convicted of the most serious
charge against him.

On Thursday, Judge Schroeder banned MSNBC from the courthouse after a
freelance employee was pulled over after running a red light while
following the jury bus. The network acknowledged that the man was an
employee, but said he "never photographed or intended to photograph
them."
