A look at key points in Kyle Rittenhouse’s testimony

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — Kyle Rittenhouse took the stand in his murder trial Wednesday, testifying about how he shot three men during a protest against police brutality in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year. He’s screaming, ‘If I catch any of you alone I’m going to kill you.’” When he encountered Rosenbaum again later, Rosenbaum shouted, “I’m going to cut your hearts out and kill you,” Rittenhouse said. He said he tried to run away but Rosenbaum chased him as Ziminski yelled “get him” and “kill him.” Rittenhouse said Rosenbaum threw a bag at him that he mistook for the chain, and that he pointed his rifle at Rosenbaum but Rosenbaum didn’t stop. Rittenhouse said he feared the man “would have stomped my face in.” Huber hit him in the neck again with the skateboard and grabbed his gun, Rittenhouse said. But Grosskreutz was holding a pistol and as Rittenhouse lowered his weapon Grosskreutz pointed the pistol “directly at my head,” Rittenhouse said.
