Prosecutors rested their case Tuesday against Kyle Rittenhouse by playing a new drone video of the shooting.
Prosecution has spent the last six days presenting evidence they claim proves Rittenhouse is guilty of first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree intentional homicide and attempted first-degree intentional homicide.
“The state formally rests its case,” prosecutor Thomas Binger told the court Tuesday.
As reported by ABC News, prosecutors showed the jury a drone video, which they obtained Friday, of Rittenhouse allegedly shooting Joseph Rosenbaum multiple times.
The defense presented its case that Rittenhouse used self-defense by calling its first witness, Nick Smith, a former employee of the car dealership Rittenhouse was supposedly defending during the Kenosha protests.
The drone video shows Rosenbaum chasing Rittenhouse into the car lot. Rittenhouse fired his weapon and is seen running from the car lot.
After the first shooting, video shows Rittenhouse falling to the ground, apparently being kicked in the face by an unidentified man and hit with a skateboard before he opened fire again on Anthony Huber.
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson had something to say about the trial in an op-ed.
“Here's the amazing thing,” Carlson wrote. “Every single witness the prosecution has called so far has wound up making Kyle Rittenhouse’s case for him. That would include even Gaige Grosskreutz. He's the avowed communist who Rittenhouse shot in the arm. Grosskreutz was supposed to be the prosecution's star witness in this trial. But once he got on the stand, he admitted that Kyle Rittenhouse only shot him after he pointed a loaded gun in the boy's face.”
