Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who fatally shot two people last year during unrest in Kenosha, Wis., offered his first extended public defense in the bitterly divisive case on Wednesday, at one point breaking down on the witness stand.
Rittenhouse’s sometimes emotional testimony punctuated the most dramatic day of the homicide trial so far, which also included heated moments from Judge Bruce Schroeder, who repeatedly castigated the prosecutor for running afoul of his rulings. The trial is in its home stretch, and the days of testimony so far have appeared to tilt in Rittenhouse’s favor.
