Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial: Not guilty on all counts

Jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial have decided the fate of the 18-year-old, finding him not guilty on all counts. Rittenhouse, 18, was on trial for killing two men and wounding a third with a rifle during a turbulent night of protests that erupted in Kenosha in the summer of 2020 after a Black man, Jacob Blake, was shot by a white police officer. Rittenhouse said he acted in self-defense, while the prosecution argued he instigated the bloodshed. Even as the jury weighed the evidence, two mistrial requests from the defense hung over the case, with the potential to upend the verdict if the panel were to convict Rittenhouse. One of those requests asks the judge to go even further and bar prosecutors from retrying him. The case has exposed deep divides among Americans over guns, racial injustice, vigilantism and self-defense in the U.S.
