After a jury deliberated for three days, Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all counts.
Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who drove across state lines to a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin and shot three men, killing two of them, was found not guilty of all charges — including intentional homicide — on Friday afternoon (November 19th.)
The jury deliberated for more than three days about the case. Rittenhouse, who was fighting five counts, claimed that he felt like his life was in danger and he had to protect himself, despite the fact he traveled to the site and was walking around with a AR-15-style rifle.
For weeks the trial has garnered national news, with the prosecution trying to make the case Rittenhouse acted as a teenage vigilante. While the defense made the claim Rittenhouse was trying to protect a neighborhood he cared about.
