The judge presiding over Kyle Rittenhouse’s homicide trial in Kenosha, Wisconsin, said he will consider a mistrial motion after defense attorneys alleged that prosecutors violated the rights of the 18-year-old defendant.

Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder did not immediately rule on the request from defense attorneys for a mistrial with prejudice.
