Kyle Rittenhouse pleads not guilty to shooting charges that took place in Kenosha, Wisconsin during summer antifa riots.
The teen entered not guilty pleas to all charges and argued that he was acting in self-defense.
He was accused by prosecutors of traveling from home in Antioch, IL, across state lines to Kenosha after hearing about a call for people to protect businesses on August 25.
Protests and riots went on for several nights ostensibly for the purpose of condemning police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man who was left paralyzed after a White cop shot him during a domestic disturbance call. In that case, charges have been dropped as video evidence showed Blake coming at the officer with a knife.
Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, turned 18 last week, was being chased and shot three antifa thugs during the riots. Two of them died, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and the shootings left Gaige Grosskreutz seriously wounded.
Video circulating online shows scenes from the encounter which appear to exonerate Rittenhouse.
In addition to the shooting-related charges, prosecutors had accused the teen of violating curfew to attend the protest in new charges filed this week, but the rioters and protesters were not charged with curfew violations, nor social distancing violations.
Rittenhouse’s trial is set to begin on March 29.
