Rittenhouse, 18, faced five felony charges for the murder of two men and injuring of another last August in Kenosha, Wisconsin. “The jury system works and we have to abide by it.” “Look, I stand by what the jury has concluded,” Biden said following the news of Rittenhouse’s acquittal. President Joe Biden spoke Friday about the not guilty verdict in Rittenhouse ‘s homicide trial. “You don’t just immediately get to shoot someone … It is not reasonable for any adult … to not try and defend yourself first using other methods.” “Punch him in the face, kick him in the testicles, knee him in the face, hit him with your gun,” the attorney said, per the outlet. Kraus additionally argued that Rittenhouse should have “exhausted all methods” of self-defense before shooting, CNN reported. He added, “The standard is the defendant may intentionally use force, which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm, such as firing an AR-15, only if the defendant reasonably believed that the force used was necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself.” “It certainly cannot be reasonable for someone to be holding an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle with powerful ammunition and be chased by someone who is unarmed who’s smaller than him, who’s shorter than him and the first thing you do to defend yourself is you plug four rounds into him,” Kraus told the court. In prosecutors’ rebuttal, Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney James Kraus called Rittenhouse’s use of deadly force, to the alleged threats against his life, unreasonable. “Every person who was shot was attacking Kyle,” Richards said, according to CNN. On Monday (November 15), closing arguments commenced with Defense attorney Mark Richards defending Rittenhouse, arguing that Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense when he killed two people and wounded another during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin last summer. Rittenhouse testified that he acted in self-defense, fearing for his life, according to an article by BLACK ENTERPRISE. Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time, shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and injured Gaige Grosskreutz.
