Black Lives Matter

The man accused of shooting an unarmed jogger three times testified that he was scared when, armed with a shotgun, he pursued Ahmad Arbery in his truck with his father and the help of a neighbor.

Kyle Rittenhouse faces a variety of charges following the shootings of Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz.

The jury at Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial could not come to any decisions yet after a full day of deliberations.  

The Rev. Jesse Jackson called attorney Kevin Gough's request, which was denied by the judge, a "diversion" during an emotional day of testimony.

While the prosecutor argued that Kyle Rittenhouse was an inexperienced "wannabe" soldier who instigated the violence, his defense attorneys insisted the teen had acted in self-defense because he was being attacked. 

Prosecutors and defense attorneys in Rittenhouse trial made their closing arguments on Monday. The jury will begin deliberations on Tuesday. 

A gun charge was dismissed against Kyle Rittenhouse, who nonetheless still faces more serious charges for the shootings of Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber and Gaige Grosskreutz.

Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, is on trial for the murders of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and the wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz in August of 2020.

The Rev. Al Sharpton later described the remarks made by defense attorney Kevin Gough as "arrogant insensitivity" and "insulting to the family of the victim."

Prosecutors in the high-profile Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial may ask the jurors to consider lesser charges in connection with the deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz.
