American teenager Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed two men and wounded another during protests against police brutality and riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin in August 2020, has been acquitted of all charges in court in New York. After deliberating for 26 hours a jury found Rittenhouse, 18, not guilty of reckless and intentional homicide and other charges. Rittenhouse had claimed self-defence while prosecutors dismissed the self-defense claim, saying Rittenhouse "provoked" the events during a night of unrest in Kenosha.
