KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — The first man killed by Kyle Rittenhouse on the streets of Kenosha was shot at close range of just a few feet and had soot injuries that could indicate he had his hand over the barrel of Rittenhouse’s rifle, a pathologist testified Tuesday as the prosecution completed its side of the case.
But it was unclear from video footage whether Joseph Rosenbaum was grabbing for Rittenhouse’s gun or trying to swat it away, said the witness, Dr. Doug Kelley, a forensic pathologist with the Milwaukee County medical examiner’s office.
Prosecutors soon afterward rested their murder case after 5 1/2 days of testimony in which some of its own witnesses often bolstered Rittenhouse’s claim of self-defense. His lawyers have suggested he was afraid his gun was going to be taken away and used against him.
The defense then began presenting its side.
Rittenhouse, now, 18, shot two men to death and wounded a third during a night of turbulent protests against racial injustice in Kenosha in the summer of 2020.
The former police youth cadet from Antioch, Illinois, was 17 when he went to Kenosha with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle and a medical kit in what he said was an effort to safeguard property from the sometimes-violent demonstrations that broke out over the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, by a white Kenosha police officer.
