Judge Bruce Schroeder has yet to rule on the mistrial motion, which was sparked by jurors' request to re-watch video evidence, including drone footage shot the night Kyle Rittenhouse fatally shot two men in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
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.
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.
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.
