The defendant and the three men he shot are all white.He was arrested and\u00a0charged\u00a0with five felony charges and one misdemeanor charge. The most serious charge was intentional homicide, Wisconsin\u2019s top murder charge, which carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison. The others were reckless homicide, attempted homicide, two counts of reckless endangerment, and being a minor illegally in possession of a firearm.On Monday, the judge dismissed the misdemeanor firearm charge, which was considered the easiest charge for the state to prove. Previously, Rittenhouse\u00a0was also charged with violating curfew, but that charge was\u00a0dismissed\u00a0last week by the judge as well.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
