Founded by [Duvernay]. Change is ours to create.\u201dAs reported by The Daily Wire:A jury found Kyle Rittenhouse not guilty of murder Friday afternoon for fatally shooting two men and injuring a third last year during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, marking the end of a contentious trial that pitted the prosecution against the judge.\u201cThe jury has represented our community in this trial and has spoken,\u201d the lead prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger said.Judge Bruce Schroeder said he \u201ccouldn\u2019t have asked for a better jury\u201d regarding their attentiveness to the court proceedings.Rittenhouse was seen sobbing and embracing his defense attorneys after the verdict was read.Rittenhouse, who is now 18, lives in Antioch, a northern suburb of Chicago about 15 miles from Kenosha. On August 25 of last year when he was 17, Rittenhouse decided to patrol the downtown Kenosha area alongside other armed men in order to protect a used car dealership from looting and vandalism. The city had devolved into rioting over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a black man, by a white Kenosha police officer.Rittenhouse took a medical kit and armed himself with a Smith &#038; Wesson M&#038;P15, which is an AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle that police say his friend illegally bought for him.While guarding the used car dealership, he was chased by protesters and ended up fatally shooting two people, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and injuring a third, Gaige Grosskreutz. 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.Rittenhouse pled not guilty to all charges. His attorneys argued that he acted in self-defense.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
