I pointed at him because he kept running at me and I didn’t want him to chase me.” He threatened to kill me earlier that night,” Rittenhouse said. “After he had done that a few times, I turned my back to him and ignored him,” Lackowski added.īut Rittenhouse testified that he feared for his life when he shot and killed Rosenbaum. Rosenbaum asked Lackowski “very bluntly to shoot him” and did “false stepping … to entice somebody to do something,” Lackowski testified. Rittenhouse first shot and killed 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum, who was unarmed but chasing Rittenhouse during a confrontation, video played at the trial showed.įormer Marine Jason Lackowski testified during the trial that he was with Rittenhouse earlier that night and was also armed with an AR-15 style rifle, but did not see Rosenbaum as a threat. Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, told a jury that he went to the protest armed with an AK-style semi-automatic weapon to protect property from rioters. Rittenhouse shot three men, killing two, during protests that erupted in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man.
Rittenhouse faced five charges in total, including charges of first-degree reckless homicide and first-degree reckless endangerment. The 12-person jury deliberated for four days before coming to its decision Friday as protesters both against and in support of Rittenhouse awaited the verdict outside the courthouse. Kyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois resident who traveled to Wisconsin and shot three people during a protest last year, was found not guilty on all charges on Friday.
