Lawyers for a teenager charged with shooting three people amid civil unrest in Wisconsin last year have called for a mistrial. Kyle Rittenhouse’s defence asked that the case be dismissed after the judge angrily rebuked prosecutors for airing apparently inadmissible evidence. Mr Rittenhouse, 18, sobbed earlier in court as he took the stand. He testified that he killed two men and injured a third on 25 August 2020 on the streets of Kenosha in self-defence. Mr Rittenhouse is facing counts including intentional and reckless homicide, reckless endangerment and illegal possession of a firearm after he fatally shot Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 28. He could get life in prison. Riots erupted on the streets of the city two days earlier after police shot a black man, Jacob Blake. Mr Rittenhouse – who was 17 at the time – travelled to the city from his home in Illinois and, with a semi-automatic rifle in tow, he said he sought to help protect property from unrest on the streets.(BBC)…[+]
