Justice Prevails: Kyle Rittenhouse Found Not Guilty of All Charges

After closing arguments were made on Monday, the jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse case found the defendant not guilty on all charges after four days of deliberations. Rittenhouse had pleaded not guilty to all charges. They reached only one verdict on the three remaining charges.

Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the death of Joseph Rosenbaum, first-degree intentional homicide in the death of Anthony Huber, first-degree attempted intentional homicide for injuring Gaige Grosskreutz, and two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.

Two additional charges, one for possession of a gun and another for breaking curfew, were dismissed by presiding Judge Bruce Shroeder.

Prior to the reading of the verdict to the courtroom at large, Schroeder looked through it himself, and instructed the court that no egregious reactions would be tolerated, and that anyone who did, “no matter how strongly they feel,” would be “whisked out of here” by law enforcement.

“Has the jury reached a verdict as to each count of the information?” Schroeder asked. “One verdict?” He instructed the court to rise as the verdict was read.

“The jury find the defendant, Kyle H. Rittenhouse, not guilty,” the jury foreperson read aloud.
