Prosecutor Thomas Binger says that amid the anger and chaos in the streets of Kenosha during the unrest, ‘the only person who killed anyone is the defendant, Kyle Rittenhouse’
Kyle Rittenhouse instigated the confrontation that led him to shoot three people on the streets of Kenosha during a turbulent protest against racial injustice, and he killed one of the victims with a shot to the back, a prosecutor told the jury during opening statements Tuesday at Rittenhouse’s murder trial.
In his opening statement, prosecutor Thomas Binger described the unrest as “two of the roughest nights that our community has ever seen,” and said that outsiders were drawn to Kenosha “like moths to a flame.” Binger emphasized, too, that Rosenbaum, 36, was killed by a shot to the back after he threw a plastic bag. The prosecutor noted that the first two bullets hit Rosenbaum in the lower extremities, causing him to fall forward.
The defense attorney portrayed Rittenhouse as a victim, saying that Huber was “trying to separate the head from the body” with the skateboard that he swung at Rittenhouse.
