Defense lawyer Mark Richards on Monday said during closing arguments in the Kyle Rittenhouse homicide trial that his client “feared for his life” before the shooting that left two dead and one injured during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Prosecutor Thomas Binger is “lying” and “misrepresenting” the evidence when he told them that Rittenhouse provoked the violence on Aug. 25, 2020, Richards said. What’s more, Rittenhouse was trying to leave the scene of violent protests and riots when Joseph Rosenbaum, who was shot and killed during the incident, and other individuals chased him.
