Rittenhouse Lawyer Says Victim Once Threatened to Kill Brother, 'Gut Him like a Pig'

One of the men who died after being shot by teenager Kyle Rittenhouse in August 2020 had a history of violent behavior and once threatened to “gut” his own brother “like a pig” over household chores, the defense said on Friday in Rittenhouse’s trial.

Corey Chirafisi, an attorney for Rittenhouse, put the character and past criminal record of Anthony Huber on display Friday during the televised trial.

“[Anthony] Huber told his brother that if he didn’t start cleaning a room in his house he was going to gut him like a pig,” Chirafisi told the court, noting that this was said while Huber held a butcher knife to the brother’s stomach.
