Wisconsin law only bans 17- and 18-year-olds from carrying short-barreled weapons.<\/p>\n<p>While the charge is only a misdemeanor, it was the likeliest to garner a conviction, the <em>Star Tribune<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.startribune.com\/judge-dismisses-weapons-charge-at-rittenhouse-murder-trial\/600116836\/?refresh=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rittenhouse, who was 17 when the incident took place, says he killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz in self-defense. Huber and Grosskreutz were in Kenosha to protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Video evidence shows that Rosenbaum chased Rittenhouse through a parking lot and that Huber attacked Rittenhouse and tried to grab Rittenhouse&#8217;s gun.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t do anything wrong. I defended myself,&#8221; Rittenhouse said during the trial.<\/p>\n<p>The case has sparked controversy regarding gun rights, policing, and protests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial on Monday dismissed a misdemeanor charge for possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.
