MADISON, Wis.—A judge was hearing arguments Monday over whether use-of-force experts can testify at Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial for shooting three people during a protest against police brutality in Wisconsin last year.

The hearing is likely the last before Rittenhouse goes on trial Nov. 1 for the shootings during chaotic demonstrations in Kenosha on Aug. 25, 2020, two days after a police officer in that city shot a Jacob Blake in the back while responding to a domestic disturbance.
