what was joseph rosenbaum doing? was he running after my client to give him a key to the city of kenosha? i was he running after my client to say hey, thanks for providing security? use your common sense and your judgment. look at mr. rosenbaum's behavior throughout the night. as i showed you, these other pictures -- exhibit 105, dr. kelly. soot right here. here's entry. the exit is over here. goes across clean. came out right there. this right here, nothing. nothing on the back part of the hand, no soot. we know what was over the barrel. remember mr. krause asking the doctor, what about the big puff of smoke? that wouldn't have an effect? soot only goes so far. that was dr. kelly's testimony. he doesn't have a dog in the fight. he looks at the bodies. says what they are. makes a determination. looks at the evidence. we had an expert, didn't call him because dr. kelly told the truth. couldn't agree more. ladies and gentlemen, facts and truth matter. in most trials the case would have ended with dr. kelly. but we want

my client shot joseph rosenbaum. nd gentlemen, make no mistake, there was nothing reckless about my client's conduct that day in regard to mr. rosenbaum. mr. rosenbaum was coming at him. my client ran from him. retreated, which is not needed. continues to run. the plastic bag is thrown. the metallic plastic bag. kyle doesn't know what it is at that time. it causes him to turn and look over his shoulder, pointing the gun in that direction. mr. rosenbaum, is he dissuaded by that? no, he's not. he continues running and advancing on my client. that whole time the state doesn't say anything about mr. ziminski firing the shot. mr. ziminski having his gun out. think of the circumstances as they existed at 11:50 on august 20th. excuse me, august 25 of 2020. he runs through that parking lot. he continues running on. he turns as he comes in to that box canyon with the cars, the van and i believe it's a pepsi machine. he turns because he has no place else to go. i'll show you the video later on. what is important about the video

joseph rosenbaum. he's dead. know what was going on in his mind. that makes him an easy target for the defense today because they can pile on him and destroy his reputation and he can't speak for himself. that happens a lot in homicide trials. blame the victim. the lack who can't themselves. i went to lee about joseph rosenbaum and you've heard testimony about him. he'd been in the hospital. had a clear plastic bag with his possession. toiletries, a water bottle. you get it in the hospital. it's common. he's walking around like it is his only possession in the world. he visits his girlfriend and happens to wandered downtown into the middle of civil unrest. no indication he planned to be there and no indication he is part of any movement. he just happened to stumble into it. what does he do that night? let me tell you. he tipped over porta potty that had no one in it. he swung a chain. he lit a metal garbage dumpster on fire. and there is an empty wooden flatbed trailer that they pulled out in the middle-of-the-ro

they didn't talk about who joseph rosenbaum was.y didn't talk about the fact that he was a convicted pedophile. oopsys, they forgot to mention the fact both of these men were white! this case -- and i want to be very clear here for everybody watching -- has nothing to do with black america! this has nothing to do with race or black america. really, guys, we can sit this one out for once but the media was infested. what's rally interesting, tucker, if you go back and look at the timeline. this happened in august 2020 just ahead of the election. people in the media were saying literally that kyle was radicalized by trump and there it is, the freudian slip. this is what it's really about the media was obsessed with the race narrative during the black lives matter, why? they took everything including an innocent white teenager that had an incident that occurred with two white convicted felons. they were willing to defend the two pedophiles because of the parasitic beast they want to off if ther to all americans. >> tucker: if you have a

joseph rosenbaum was 36 36 years old.t been released that same day from a milwaukee hospital where he had been treated for a suicide attempt. he was unarmed when he was shot by rittenhouse. roosevelt was shot four times. -- rosenbaum was shot four times. after rittenhouse killed rosenbaum, several protesters who believed rittenhouse was an active shooter, begin chasing him. 26-year-old anthony huber tried to disarm him by hitting him with what he had in his hand, his skateboard. rittenhouse shot and killed him within seconds. gaige grosskreutz was the only person who survived being shot by rittenhouse. anthony huber's parents, karen bloom and john huber, said they were heartbroken and angry over the verdict, which they said did not deliver justice for any of rittenhouse's victims. this is anthony huber's father john huber responding to the verdict on cnn. >> we are still in shock here, you know? that guy gets to run free and he is now a hero. this is my son right here. this is anthony. we lost our son and there's no justi

and in fact, the only bigot on the scene appears to have been joseph rosenbaum. some reason, and it's on video, rosenbaum kept screaming the n-word and yet it is kyle rittenhouse who joe biden accused of being a white supremacist on the basis of no evidence whatsoever then let's hope at some point he gets sued for that. now they are calling the judge the same thing. >> let's hope the asian food isn't on one of those boats in long beach harbor. >> yes, that was the judge making a joke about asian food during a murder trial but i want to ask you how unusual is the judges conduct currently? >> i think some of the things her way out of line. the comment about the asian food, for example. >> tucker: that's racist. but it's only racist if you are exercising your right to self-defense or if you're trying to conduct a fair trial. you don't inject equity into the trial and judge people on the basis of their skin color rather than what they actually did. you dare to do that in this post equity country, you are by definition of racist. so they won't admit to the public that

and i am glad he shot him because if joseph rosenbaum had got that gun, i don't for a minute believe he wouldn't have used it against somebody else. he was irrational and crazy. my client didn't shoot at anyone until he was chased and cornered. >> reporter: but during rebuttal, the prosecution argued there were plenty of steps rittenhouse could have taken before shooting roerz. >> no one is saying that mr. rosenbaum should have chased mr. rittenhouse. no one is saying that mr. rittenhouse did not have a right to defend himself. this case is about the right to use deadly force. hit him, kick him, knee him, anything else. and mr. rosenbaum and mr. rittenhouse are alive. >> reporter: in total, rittenhouse faced six charges until the misdemeanor of a minor in possession of a weapon was dismissed over the gun not being long enough to be considered illegal. rittenhouse still faces five felony charges, all of which he pleaded not guilty to, the most serious from the shooting and killing of anthony huber, second of two people killed that night. he faces first-degree intentional homicide. les

and he related to detective howard in september of 2020 about joseph rosenbaum yelling, i just got outjail, and i'm not afraid to go back. those are his words that he heard mr. rosenbaum. it was not objected to by the state. and there's been no proof that he wasn't in a jail. they want you to believe he was in a hospital. there's no medical records he was in a hospital. no medical record he's was properly medicated. and i submit to you that in this case, the way he was behaving, i don't think he was properly medicated. there's pictures of him with the trailer fires, the chains, starting numerous dumpster fires. i submit that he was with ziminskis on many occasions and emboldened by mr. ziminski because mr. ziminski was always brandishing his firearm. we saw joseph rosenbaum taking the chains. he chose to come down and riot and that's what he did. nathan debruin chronicled that. why? because it's no -- it's not very interesting if you take a picture of a protester who is just standing there. but mr. rosenbaum was involved in all these different things, and i'll show you the pictures. lu

joseph rosenbaum didn't have a gun. the defendant knew he didn't have a gun. the defendant is lying to save his own skin. instead of going and trying to help the person that you has just shot and killed. in exhibit number three, gaige grosskreutz's facebook live video he tells a similar lie. as they're running, mr. grosskreutz asked the defendant did you just shoot someone and the defendant said something about the police and said i did not shoot anyone. and this is similar to the lie that he told jason loucowski and he saiddy not shoot anyone. and that was established through his testimony. and again i think it is worth emphasized that he had just met the defendant maybe an hour, this is about 11:50 at night, he got there at about 10:45. this is greige grosskreutz running towards danger, running to try to help. this is exhibit number three. >> you pulled a gun. >> why shoot him? >> huh, what are you doing? you shoot somebody? who shot? who shot? hey, what are you doing? you shot somebody? who shot? who shot? >> listen to the second thing he says. >> you shot

anthony huber and joseph rosenbaum are dead. gaige grosskreutz was injured. the situation, immediately politicized. the left jumped on rittenhouse as the face of white hate. the white made him the poster boy for white fright and self-defense. but now at the trial notions of left and right must stay outside and all we know is what can be made as reasonable by the prosecutor. we only know what the prosecution can show. in the instant case, that means can the prosecution show that rittenhouse is guilty of murdering and injuring beyond a reasonable doubt. now, the surrounding circumstances are not helpful to rittenhouse. he claims he was at the protest to help, to provide medical support. but he was posing as an emt. he's not one. and he brought an ar-15 he wasn't allowed to have, two place he was not from, with no right or authority to protect any property. now, he says the property owner asked for his help. that is not what the owner says. nevertheless, for the jury, the key part is likely not why he was there, but whether it was reasonable for him to shoot thr

so, i had been talking about the murder of joseph rosenbaum. in a way that makes t most sense. so count one of the information is with regard to joseph rosenbaum. the second count of the jfgs pertained to richie mcginnes who you heard testify. he testified that he was in the line of fire behind joseph rosenbaum as the defendant fired four rounds with his ar-15 which is loaded with full met at jackpot ammunition and i'll talk more about that type of ammunition in a little bit. but you've heard testimony that it is the type of ammunition that is capable of going through body armor, it is capable of going through a squad car, it is designed to go through the target and continue flying on for up to 550 yards. richard mcginnes testified when the shots went off he thought he had been hit. he thought his life was in danger. one of the rules that i think most people who are familiar with firearms know is it is always check your back ground. meaning know what is around your target and know what is behind your target. it is true when your hunting, it is

an innocent man, people should independently look into joseph rosenbaum.an't express enough, 11 charges against him for raping children. the boys he raped -- there were five of them -- sexual assaults, five of them including rape that were between the ages of nine and 11 years old. the idea that any person in a position of power would use the word "innocent" and "joseph rosenbaum" in the same tweet should sicken and you tell you where we are right now. these people are so hungry to maintain their narrative they're willing to justify and to paint as innocent a person that raped young boys. it's despicable stuff. you're correct the mainstream media is so complicit in this. they're -- i no longer delineate between the legacy media groups like msnbc that sends people to follow the juror bus. differentiate them of the antifas and the black lives matter of the word. they're providing constant feed of ignorance and lies. big tech is inflict. big tech censored the truth for the year. there are a lot of people that need to pay for what kyle rittenhouse lived throug

so if joseph rosenbaum is running at him, joseph rosenbaum no threat to his life. not only is the defendant expected to run, he's expected to yell, push, shove that rag doll around, run back for help, call 911, call for help, do all sorts of other things besides just turn and fire four shots as joseph rosenbaum falls, helpless, to the ground. ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt in this case that the defendant can committed these crimes. he committed a first-degree reckless homicide against joseph rosenbaum. he put richmond mcguinness' life in jeopardy, he intended to kill joseph rosenbaum, he intended to kill anthony huber. the question is whether you believe his actions were reasonably justified. i submit to you that no reasonable person would have done what the defendant did. and that makes your decision easy. he's guilty of all counts. thank you. >> thank you, mr. mayer. let's take a break and about 2:25, hopefully, and please don't talk about the case or watch anything regarding the case. >> we're on a break. you've been listening to the coverage of the kyl

the former mayor of new york billdy blas you wrote, anthony huber and joseph rosenbaum were victims, they should be alive today. maybe we'll get a small statue of rosenbaum. the aclu, which you would think would be in favor of self-defense suggested crossing state lines is a crime. stay in your own state. despite his conscious decision to travel across state lines and injure one person, take the lives of two people protesting the shooting of jacob blake by police, he was not held responsible for his action. insanity. the continuous references to crossing state lines are not insignificant. they're meaningless. you have a right to cross state lines if you're an american because it's your country. you can go to all 50 states. why do they bring that to every analysis of the case? crossing state lines. they want to use it to change gun laws. that's right. you watch. if you want to know what the worst people are saying, tune in to jeb bush's former flak on msnbc. she told us anyone who crosses state lines is a domestic terrorist. >> the kyle rittenhouse acquittal not guilty on all counts di

>> yes, it was joseph rosenbaum. >> it was a rosenbaum, further south on sheridan. mr.w this individual. there is a richie mcginnis. do you know who that is? >> yes. >> he was heading the same direction between you and the defendant. is that fair to say? >> yes based upon the footage. >> there comes a time where you may remember, the defendant starts to run. do you remember that? >> i didn't make any videos. >> record it. there comes a time in the video you recorded, and which you saw mr. rittenhouse start running. is that fair to say? >> after joseph rosenbaum was lighting a fire in the middle of the straight, he had his face covered. he stopped and started going towards the car source three walking, and a couple of seconds after you see kyle rittenhouse walked past the frame with the fire extinct sure. >> the question i was asking those sir, is there comes a time after that were in your video, mr. rittenhouse starts running towards that car source. i do recall that? >> yes. >> and mr. mcginnis who is between you and the defendant also starts running. and you start run

one of the prosecution's heroes is joseph rosenbaum who was shot and killed by rittenhouse. he ride but note the flippant way is illegal conduct was described. >> let me tell you all the awful things joseph rosenbaum -- he kicked over a port a party that had no one in it. he swung a chain. he let a metal garbage dumpster on fire. there's this empty wooden flatbed trailer they tipped over to stop some bearcat and lit it on fire and he said some bad words. he said the n word. >> has there ever been a more annoying prosecutor? i put robert mueller in this category. he was also a convicted child rapist who threatened to kill rittenhouse and chased him and tried to take his gun. and independent press would have shredded this prosecutor. instead it ended up joining in the smears and naturally when the facts don't go your way what do you do? you make a desperate attempt to claim racism anyway. >> white privilege on steroids. >> a biased racist judge. >> never held white people accountable for murdering black people. >> imagine if kyle rittenhouse was in 18 or 17-year-old black kid.

. >> we're seeing the joseph rosenbaum shooting, you see .ng him across the parking lot, if you see the -- the stay on that. joseph rosenbaum over and over, can you put that in slow motion? >> in slow motion, i have to run it -- look. look at that? you see kyle rittenhouse running, and you see joseph rosenbaum chasing him. chasing him. and then it looks like rittenhouse turned around. and bam. there you go. that is the shooting of rittenhouse. what were you saying? >> leading up to this i was setting up, one of kyle a friends father said there will be a protest tonight we're going to protect the local business, come with us. kyle goes along, brings his gun, he leaves that area, he goes, he is in the middle of the protest. this is when this happened with rittenhouse. however what other reports said that while before he and rittenhouse had their altercation, he is walking with a huge gun, saying, he is brandishing it, people say he was threatening people with the gun, pointing it at 94 others. >> no, no, you can't just say, people say, he was t

, and i'm glad he shot him because if joseph rosenbaum had got that gun, i don't for a minute believee wouldn't have used it against somebody else. he was irrational and crazy. my client didn't shoot at anyone until he was chased and cornered. >> reporter: but during rebuttal, the prosecution argued there were plenty of steps rittenhouse could have taken before shooting rosenbaum. >> no one is saying that mr. rosenbaum should have chased mr. rittenhouse. no one is saying that mr. rittenhouse did not have a right to defend himself. this case is about the right to use deadly force. hit him, kick him, knee him, anything else. and mr. rosenbaum and mr. rittenhouse are alive. >> reporter: in total, rittenhouse faced six charges until the misdemeanor of a minor in possession of a weapon was dismissed early in the day over the gun not being long enough under wisconsin statutes to be considered illegal in the hands of a minor. but rittenhouse still faces five felony charges, all of which he pleaded not guilty to, the most serious comes from the shooting and killing of anthony huber, second of

to believe that it was something that the defendant took into account when he decided to kill joseph rosenbaum. a question that occurred to me is how would that defendant even know who he is? joseph was wearing a red shirt and a blue bandana. but by the time he was killed, he has no shirt on, no bandana. this is a defendant that no one has met before. he is one of 100 people in a crowd, and yet we're expected to believe that in a split second, the defendant remembers this guy? i don't believe so. so then the video i just showed you picks off -- leaves off at about 11:35 p.m. the police have moved the protesters south of 60th street. they've tear gassed the crowd and there is no protesters left. 59th street is no longer in any danger. there wasn't much danger to begin with. there wasn't anything left there to protect. but by this point, there is no more danger. as law enforcement comes through, you've heard this video where they tell the defendant and his group, we appreciate you and hand them out bottles of water. as long as you stay on that private property, yeah. no one is saying you don't h

when they're coming after him they know he has just shot and killed joseph rosenbaum. not every active shooter situation does the crowd have perfect knowledge. when they are told that person running up the street just shot someone, we don't have time in the moment to go back and take a look at the body and replay the video and make a decision before going after the person with the gun. every day we read about heroes that stop active shooters. that's what was going on here. >> the defense also wrapped up their closing arguments this evening and tried to place the blame on the people who kyle rittenhouse shot. >> kyle shot joseph rosenbaum to stop a threat to his person. i'm glad he shot him because if joseph rosenbaum had got that gun i don't for a minute believe he wouldn't have used it against somebody else. he was irrational and crazy. every person who was shot was attacking kyle. >> the defense just rested. the judge gave the jury final instructions. they will start deliberating first thing tomorrow. tonya perry is a former federal prosecutor, former new york state

the first of the two killed that night. >> kyle shot joseph rosenbaum to stop a threat to his person. and i'm glad he shot him because if joseph rosenbaum had got that gun, i don't, for a minute, believe he wouldn't have used it against somebody else. he was irrational and crazy. m my client didn't shoot at anyone until he was chased and cornered. >> reporter: but during rebuttal, the prosecution argued there were plenty of steps rittenhouse could have taken before shooting rosenbaum. >> no one is saying that mr. rosenbaum should have chased mr. rittenhouse. no one is saying that mr. rittenhouse did not have a right to defend himself. this case is about the right to use deadly force. hit him, kick him, knee him. anything else. and mr. rosenbaum and mr. rittenhouse are alive. >> reporter: in total, rittenhouse faced six charges until the misdemeanor of a minor in possession of a weapon was dismissed early in the day. over the gun not being long enough, under wisconsin statutes to be considered illegal in the hands of a minor. but rittenhouse still faces five felony charges. all of whic

so if joseph rosenbaum is running at him, joseph rosenbaum is no threat to his life, and not only is the defendant expected to run, he's expected to yell, push, shove that rag doll around, run back for help, call 911, call for help, do all sorts of other things besides just turn and fire four shots. as joseph rosenbaum falls helpless to the ground. ladies and gentlemen, there is no doubt in this case that the defendant committed these crimes. he committed a first-degree reckless homicide against joseph rosenbaum. he put ritchie mcginniss's life in jeopardy. he put jump kick man's life in jeopardy. he intended to kill anthony huber, and he attempted to kill gaij crosge grosskreutz, all of elements are true. the question is whether or not you believe that his actions were legally justified. and i submit to you that no reasonable person would have done what the defendant did. and that makes your decision easy. he's guilty of all counts. thank you. >> thank you. let's take a break and about 2:25, hopefully, and please don't talk about the case, read, watch or listen to any account of the

joseph rosenbaum? the child rapist? what about the other victim? media tells you the main victim is a guy called gage pointed a loaded gun in his face for which he's never been charged, by the way. that's not a big deal. who is this guy? well, it turns out he's got a lengthsy criminal history that includes an arrest for hitting his own grandmother in the face. just six days before he testified in the trial which joe biden says is not a big deal but most people are thinking we are not supposed to do that. several years ago, was charged with smashing the bedroom window of his ex-girlfriend's home at 4:00 a.m. on the night kyle rittenhouse shot him, he admitted he was carrying an illegal firearm. no longer a big deal either. some crimes don't matter. so did the last guy anthony huber, the man who hit kyle rittenhouse twice in the head with a skateboard. who is he? a convicted domestic abuser. according to court records, he once told his brother if he didn't clean the room in his house, he was going to got him -- gut him like a pig. he said that while

. >> so, that gunshot did not affect your decision to kill joseph rosenbaum, did it? >> no, mr. rosenbaum tried to -- >> so you did not think there was a gunshot from joseph rosenbaum. >> i see what your question means now. you didn't see all might think the shot was by -- it had been fired by mr. rosenbaum. >> exactly. >> okay. >> you heard a gunshot. you now know that was joshua, but at the time, you did not think that was joseph rosenbaum. you don't agree with me that you didn't have the right to kill joseph rosenbaum for something joshua does, correct questioning >> yes. >> when you heard that gunshot, you did not know if it was fired up in the air or at rosenbaum or anyone else, did you customer >> i heard from behind me, but i didn't -- >> you did not know where was aimed, correct? you did not feel it hit you, correct question works because correct. >> you did not hear it ricochet anywhere near you. >> correct. >> you received no indication that that gunshot was going to put your life in danger, correct? >> i don't know. >> there were gunshots going off all night long, were

rittenhouse, who argues self-defense, is charged with killing joseph rosenbaum and anthony huber, and injuring gaige grosskreutz with an ar-15. right wing commentator drew hernandez, called by the defense, recorded the video. >> did you see what joseph rosenbaum was doing as he was chasing kyle rittenhouse? >> so i was at the corne of the car source and the first thing i did identify was that rosenbaum was charging kyle rittenhouse from behind. >> reporter: the jury also shown this footage of rosenbaum before the shooting, appearing confrontational toward a group of armed men. prosecutors then pressing hernandez on his social media posts and whether he has an agenda. >> have you ever posted anything on social media? >> yes. >> in support of kyle rittenhouse? >> one could argue, yes. >> reporter: the defense also calling an expert who analyzed video from the protests and testified rittenhouse killed rosenbaum and huber and injured grosskreutz in a matter of two minutes and 55 seconds. grosskreutz -- the only person to survive being shot by rittenhouse -- reacting to this dramatic momen

on page 1 it begins with a charge, with a count against joseph rosenbaum. >> okay. so shimon, thank you for giving us that update. i want to bring in areva martin and a criminal defense attorney to discuss where we are in this trial which is at this criminal phase. search women, five men, only one man is a person of color. that is who is deliberate as we speak. based on the evidence and the closing arguments we all heard live here yesterday, how hard do you think it will be to done to a unanimous verdict, and do you read anything into that one question that has so far been sent to the court? >> well, ana, i read into that question which is what everyone saw which is the confusion that the judge created by reading the jury instructions. first of all, self-defense as an instruction is already difficult enough and then you add the additional charge of provocation so now you have the complication upon complication and then you have the judge reading the instructions. he would some and he would start and he would read a paragraph over. would have discussion and hold his

this morning the 18-year-old who shot and killed joseph rosenbaum and anthony huber and injuring gageerned citizen protecting private property, giving medical aid, who acted in self-defense. >> so you felt that as a 17-year-old, it was appropriate for you to be out on the streets o kenosha with an ar-15 that night, fair? >> reporter: the prosecution as a vigilante and outsider who took two lives in cold blood. what's happening outside in wisconsin courthouse reigniting conversations around the nation's racial divide, seen by some as a commentary on the justice system at large. >> what i'm suggesting is, if he's acquitted, we're now seeing the law is also saying it's okay to pick up a gun and take the law into your own hands. >> black lives matter! >> reporter: in december 2020, protests spilled into the streets after 29-year-old jacob blake was shot in the back seven times by a police officer in kenosha, wisconsin.

these troen drone videos show different angles of rittenhouse shooting joseph rosenbaum. irst shows rittenhouse and rosenbaum. they are represented by the two yellow squares you see on your screen. throughout the video, you see them chasing each other. all right? they are chasing each other around. rittenhouse shootis rosenbaum after that. now, the next video -- graphic -- it shows a much closer angle of the moments before rittenhouse shot and killed rosenbaum. and you can see how close they were standing to each other. ongoing? okay? this is this video that sarah was talking about. going to talk about that in a moment but we know the jury spent about 45 minutes viewing these videos. the judge said watch them and watch them as many times as you want. 45 minutes. you can see how short each of them are. what do you make of them focusing on these videos and spending this amount of time, elie? >> this tells me the jury is going about their job meticulously. that they are focusing on the most important evidence. these videos are the key to this case. i do think we can draw one

>> yes. >> and you certainly would agree with me that you don't have the right to kill joseph rosenbaum for something joshua zeminsky does, correct? >> yes. when you heard that gunshot, you didn't know whether it was fired at you or up in the air or at rosenbaum or anyone else, did you? >> i heard it from behind me, but i didn't -- >> you didn't know where it was aimed. >> correct. >> you didn't feel it hit you, correct? >> correct. >> you didn't hear it ricochet anywhere near you, correct? >> correct. >> you received no indication that that gunshot was going to put your life in danger, correct? >> i don't know. >> there were gunshots going off all night long, weren't there? >> sort of. >> firecrackers, gunshots. >> hard to tell the difference? >> yeah. >> right after you kill rosenbaum there's three shots right after that, aren't there? >> yes. >> from very close to where you were. >> yes. >> yet you don't turn and shoot anybody there after you hear those, did you? >> no. >> so getting back to my original question, in this entire sequence of events, no one ever fired a shot at you, did

rittenhouse killed joseph rosenbaum, the police did nothing. concerned citizens, confronted with a person shooting indiscriminately on the street, stepped in to stop the violence. anthony was shot in the chest trying to disarm mr. rittenhouse and stop his shooting spree. still the police did nothing. mr. rittenhouse continued to shoot, maiming gaige grosskreutz. the police let mr. rittenhouse leave the scene freely. mr. rittenhouse came to kenosha armed to kill. we are so proud of anthony, and we love him so much. we ask that you remember anthony and keep him in your prayers. again, that's from the parents of anthony huber who was shot and killed by kyle rittenhouse last year. mr. rittenhouse was acquitted on all charges today. we'll have more live from kenosha coming up in a few minutes. there's more to come in terms of these gut-wrenching, harrowing trials. and i mean more to come in very short order, more to come quite soon. right now the jury is out, we're waiting on a verdict right now in charlottesville, virginia, where two dozen neo-nazi

anthony huber the doctor testified shot in the test but joseph rosenbaum, he described that he was shotthe lethal shot, this is what ultimately killed joseph rosenbaum. questions could be raised in closing arguments whether or not joseph rosenbaum perhaps was fleeing from the scene, does that somehow indicate some kind of self defense if the person who was shot had his back to the gunman. that is something that the prosecution will want to argue. but there is so much nuance, but there is a lot that both sides will be able to grab on and argue on. but of course the big question now is does kyle rit house take t en rittenhouse take the stand. >> and shot in the back sounds like an important development for the jury to understand. thank you very much for the update. >>> and aaron rodgers has a new explanation after coming under intense backlash for claiming that he was immunized when he had actually received a covid vaccine. hear what he is saying now. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ got a couple of bogeys on your six, limu. they need customized car insurance from liberty mutual so they only pay for w
