The defense wrapped up its case Thursday at the homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old charged with killing two people and wounding a third last summer. Closing arguments are expected to begin on Monday — both parties will have two and a half hours each for arguments and rebuttals.
Defense lawyers tried to drive home the point that Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense when he killed two protesters and wounded another at a police brutality protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020.
