Kenosha Braces for Verdict in Kyle Rittenhouse Trial

  • Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial will go to the jury after closing arguments Monday — leaving the teen gunman’s mom “scared” and “overwhelmed” and the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, bracing for a violent reaction.
  • Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder has allotted 2 1/2 hours each to the prosecution and Rittenhouse’s defense Monday before the jury starts its deliberations into the then-17-year-old’s triple shooting at riots last summer.
  • “I’m scared. I am overwhelmed,” the defendant’s mother, Wendy Rittenhouse, told NBC in an interview aired Monday.
