Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse is acquitted of all charges in his homicide trial

Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent in the eyes of the law, but the fact remains: Had he not gone to Kenosha, the two people he killed would be alive today, the Editorial Board writes.

Kyle Rittenhouse has been acquitted of all charges after pleading self-defense in the deadly Kenosha, Wisc., shootings that became a flashpoint in the nation’s debate over guns, vigilantism, and racial injustice.

Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley releases statement after Kyle Rittenhouse is acquitted on all charges. “We ask that all members of the public accept the verdicts peacefully and not resort to violence.”

What people are saying?

Eduardo G There’s going to be a lengthy appeal and the possibility of a mistrail, because of the judge, he, from what I read of the trial, favored heavily Rittenhouse’s arguments, making the prosecutors life difficult, to say the least.

RagingC I initially felt the kid was guilty but I watched the trial. He was justified in his actions to protect himself. Those guys went after him, not the reverse. Unless you watch the trial and see the facts, don’t follow other people’s condemnation of him. Facts prove he was justified.
