Kyle Rittenhouse Hearing

Kyle Rittenhouse is accused of killing two protesters days after Jacob Blake was shot by police in Kenosha Wisconsin.

Rittenhouse was arrested at his home in Antioch, Illinois a day after prosecutors say he shot and killed two protesters and injured a third on the streets of Kenosha on Aug. 25.

His attorneys have said Rittenhouse acted in self-defense and have portrayed him as a courageous patriot who was exercising his right to bear arms during unrest over the shooting of Blake, who is black.

Rittenhouse, who is white, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the killing of two white protesters and attempted intentional homicide in the wounding of a third. He also faces a misdemeanor charge of underage firearm possession for wielding a semi-automatic rifle.

If convicted of first-degree homicide, Rittenhouse would be sentenced to life in prison.
