This weeks episode Buddy Foy Jr. Covers the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. This show was recorded on Nov. 10, 2021.

Background:
This past week Kyle Rittenhouse took the stand as the defended of being accused of two murders and one attempted murder. The events in question took place Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. That night there was a back life matter protest he fatally shot two men and wounded a third during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020.

Why was Kyle in Kenosha. According to testimony, the owner of a Kenosha car dealership wanted help patrolling his properties during the protest, so Rittenhouse and a friends took on the task.

Why was the owner of the dealership worried about his businesses being vandalized?
In the aftermath of the August 2020 police shooting of Jacob Blake, protests, riots, and civil unrest occurred in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Did Kyle cross state lines?
Yes. 45 from his home.

Why was Kenosha, Wisconsin so important to Kyle?
Apparently he worked in Kenosha, Wisconsin and his dad lived near by (?).

Who he shot:
He is accused of killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, as well as wounding Gaige Grosskreutz with an assault-style rifle, during violent riots.

• Rittenhouse’s legal team has said the teen didn’t open fire first — but rather he heard a gunshot behind him as he ran, turned around, and saw Rosenbaum lunging toward him and reaching for the rifle.
• According to cellphone footage, a group of people followed Rittenhouse, yelling “Beat him up!” and “Hey, he shot him!” The teenager continued running, tripped, and then fell to the ground — from where he fired four shots.
• Per the complaint, several people rushed toward the teen and hit him or tried to disarm him while he was lying on the ground. Among that group was Rittenhouse’s second victim, Huber, who had apparently hit Rittenhouse with a skateboard during the scuffle.
• Rittenhouse sat up and pointed his gun at Grosskreutz, who ducked, put his hands in the air, and stepped back. Seconds later, when Grosskreutz moved toward the teen — apparently while holding a handgun — Rittenhouse fired one shot and struck Grosskreutz in the arm, the complaint alleged.

Background of victims:

• Rosenbaum was sentenced to prison for sexually abusing five children — all boys between the ages of 9 and 11 — in Arizona’s Pima County in early 2002
  • Rosenbaum molested the boys, showed them porn, and performed oral sex on them, among other offenses, the documents showed. He was sentenced to prison for roughly 15 years, and authorities believed at the time “his risk to recidivate being of great concern to the community” considering the victims’ gender and age.
• Anthony Huber, was charged with domestic abuse.
• Grosskreutz was found guilty in 2016 of breaking Wisconsin’s law governing the use of dangerous weapons — a misdemeanor offense — per Milwaukee County court records.
