Prosecutor Thomas Binger began giving his summation by telling the jury, 'This is a case in which a 17-year-old teenager killed two unarmed men and severely wounded a third person with an AR-15 that did not belong to him.'
The Trial of Kyle Rittenhouseon Monday after hearing what is expected to be starkly different theories of the same evidence in the homicide case with prosecutors set to portray the teen as a trouble-seeking active shooter to counter defense claims he shot three men, two fatally, in self-defense.Rittenhouse was 17 and armed with a semiautomatic rifle at the time he shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and severely wounded Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, during an Aug.
"This isn't a situation where he was protecting his home or his family," Binger said."He killed people after traveling here from Antioch, Illinois, and staying out after a citywide curfew." The prosecutor asked the jury to watch the video of the Rosenbaum shooting closely, pointing out that Rosenbaum held up his hands as he ran after Rittenhouse and cited the teenager's testimony during the trial that he knew the man was unarmed.
Binger said that after shooting Rosenbaum, Rittenhouse ran away without attempting to provide first aid. The prosecutor said others in the crowd had every reason to chase after Rittenhouse to stop him. Binger said Grosskreutz, who was armed with a pistol, was shot in the right bicep when he tried to disarm Rittenhouse."Gaige Grosskreutz had his own gun in his own hand. He could have aimed and fired at the defendant, but he did not," Binger said.
"I submit to you that no reasonable person would have done what the defendant did. And that makes your decision easy," Binger said."He's guilty of all counts."Following the closing arguments, court officials will draw names to determine which of the 18 jurors who heard the evidence will be among the 12 that will deliberate on a verdict.
