Judge Bruce Schroeder denounced the prosecution in the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial on Nov. 10 for asking questions that may have violated the defendant’s right to a fair trial.

When Rittenhouse took the stand on Nov. 10, it was the first time he told his version of events that occurred on Aug. 25, 2020—when he shot three men, two of them fatally, during the Kenosha, Wisconsin, protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
