kenosha and he was here in kenosha the night before he went out into the street. there has been a lot of politicians an there have been a lot of folks on social media saying that he came over with his gun, crossing state lines with that gun. that is not the case. we learned that in this trial. that indeed the gun was actually here in kenosha at the family of a friend s house who bought that rifle for him and that he ended up with it that night. not taking it across state lines to come to the protest. but taking it from his friends family home. we do know that in this case that there are high emotions everywhere. that politics has played in this with the right and left going at it over what they think should happen. and we re seeing that play out on the steps of the courthouse as well. yeah, sarah, thank you for all of that. stand by for us. obviously we ll dock back to you because there is a lot happening outside of the courthouse right now. we want to go to shimon
rittenhouse, it was pointed at him, and then rittenhouse, that is when he opened fire. you could start to sense that things were shifting in this case almost immediately after that. because even when the prosecution tried to rehabilitate him and did a redirect examination and were asking him about that, he admitted that he had the gun. and then the other issue was that the defense made a big issue is that he who had a handgun, did not have a license, a concealed license to carry a weapon. he was never charged. so there were all of these problems with the different witnesses that the prosecution brought into the case from, you know, the main person that was shot here was the first person that was shot, he was a problem for the prosecution because the defense did such a job of showing all of the chaos that night and the video certainly helped them point that out. shimon prokupecz, thank you very much. our thanks to sarah and adrianne as well. we ll check back with them.
thrown out. they were worried that this video was going to prove for the prosecution that kyle rittenhouse was the instigator, that provocation charge. so they were worried about that video. the jurors did not have a lot of questions other than that one day c concerning the video and then for the most part they just worked. they kind of quietly worked. did their jobs. last thing they did today was order lunch and then within an hour after that wed getting indications that somethings with going on and that there was in verdict. obviously there were a lot of key points in this case. the other thing is on the prosecution side, when their witness, one of the witnesses testified, grosskreutz, who had a weapon, that seemed to really shift the case for the prosecution. once the defense got him to admit that he pointed his gun, he had a gun on him that night, a handgun, he had his gun on him that night and that he pointed it at one point towards kyle
to be going on in america for time in memory um and that is not something that this court was trying to concern itself with. it was trying to get the jury to see things very plainly with the evidence that was in front of them. and they did so. they looked at it. we know that they were diligent because they spent 25 hours every single day for five, six hours a day, looking at this video trying to discern what the truth was here and trying to make a come up with a verdict they felt was just. of course people not everyone is going to feel this is just. there are two people who are dead and there is one person who was terribly injured in all of this. one thing that we learned that night in august when the shooting happened is that a lot of folks had guns. someone fired before mr. rittenhouse fired, there is someone who had a gun that was not permitted at the time. there were a lot of folks who were armed. and what we also learned is that
having the gun strapped across their chest and there were quite a few people that came to kenosha or that were in kenosha. it actually ended up causing instead of them saying this is defense and it cause the consternation and arguments where there were folks that were no pun intended triggered by the fact there were these large war-looking weapons out in the street. but it is legal to carry here in kenosha and in wisconsin. and people have been doing so, but this has also called into the light, the fight over the second amendment as well. and so there are a lot of different political angles here. there is a racial back drop here that is playing out. but it has, i want to reiterate, it has remained calm. throughout this two and a half weeks of the trial and now the jury, deliberation and verdict,
