Kenosha detective testifies that footage shows that a protester, Joshua Ziminski, had fired the first shot into the air during the 2020 protests. Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyer argues he acted in self-defence
Two and a half seconds before Kyle Rittenhouse began shooting in the streets of Kenosha, someone in the crowd fired a shot into the air, a detective testified at Rittenhouse’s murder trial Thursday.Rittenhouse, 18, is charged with shooting three men, two of them fatally, starting with Joseph Rosenbaum, in the summer of 2020.
A wealth of video has been played in court that captured the tumultuous demonstration and the series of shootings. After prosecutors objected, Richards said: “Mr. Rosenbaum is in hiding as my client arrives, correct?”Before testimony resumed Thursday, the judge dismissed a juror who had made a joke to a court security officer about the police shooting of Jacob Blake – the Black man whose wounding triggered the Kenosha protests. The juror, a retired man, declined to repeat the joke for the judge.
Richie McGinniss, who made the video for The Daily Caller, testified that he went to talk to four Black people in the crowd who seemed angry. He said one of them had two rocks or brick-like stones in his hands, and another had a rock and a strap. On Wednesday, prosecutor Thomas Binger drove home the point that Rosenbaum was apparently unarmed, asking Howard if any of the videos shown in court indicated Rosenbaum had a weapon of any kind. Howard replied no, and said he could only see Rosenbaum carrying a plastic bag.“So no gun? Binger asked.
