On Aug. 25, 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse, a teenager, shot three men, two of them fatally, during street protests in Kenosha, Wis., over the shooting of a Black man by a white police officer.
Mr. Rittenhouse’s trial, which began on Nov. 1, revolved around a central question: Did his actions constitute self-defense under Wisconsin law?
Last week, a jury decided that they did, finding him not guilty on every count against him.
We look at key moments from the trial and at how the verdict was reached.
Guest: Julie Bosman, the Chicago bureau chief of The New York Times.
