The jury bought the core defence narrative, which Rittenhouse delivered when he took the stand, in testimony interrupted by his sobs: “I didn’t do anything wrong. In open-carry Wisconsin, there is “no duty to restraint before using force.”It’s not the jury that got it wrong; it’s the culture. “The evidence will show that hundreds of people were out on the street experiencing chaos and violence, and the only person who killed anyone was the defendant, Kyle Rittenhouse.” Binger told court. Rittenhouse had gone to Kenosha, which had been in the throes of protests, ostensibly to help protect police protect property. So many people look at this case and they see what they want to see.”They saw it through the eyes of Kyle Rittenhouse.
