SNITCH on your neighbors
Rittenhouse trial SUMMARY off the top of my head:
- prosecution tried pressuring witness to "add" to statement
- Gaige G. failed as a star witness, admitted pointed gun at Kyle when he was shot
- curfew violation charge seemingly DROPPED
- Rosenbaum's racism
- Forensic pathologist CONCURRED with "hand touching the barrel" aspect of Rosenbaum's death
That
RITTENHOUSE TIME
JACOB MARSHALL TIME
🚨Jacob Marshall says HE "MADE IT ALL UP" about Gaige Grosskreutz saying "his only regret was not killing the kid" in the days following the Rittenhouse incident.

"I lied he never said that."

(Gaige also DENIED saying this when he was on the stand)
SAM IS BACK ON THE STAND
After previously denying knowing the estimates in damage

the defense shows a video of the car lot owners estimating TWO POINT FIVE million dollars in damage
"So you lied"

"No it was a mistake" -- Car lot Sam on $$ damages to his business

Mundane questions out of the way
Kyle says on August 24th 2020 he saw videos on social media of riots in Kenosha and people getting injured

Car source came up from Nick Smith, Dominic and Rittenhouse got invited by him

gave Smith his bulletproof vest (stopped the need to buy one)
^^ Kyle never bought a bulletproof vest he was issued one by a police department? (wow lol)
"Sam and Sal thanked us for coming out to help"

Got into Sal's car and got driven down to CarSource number 3
Kyle pointing out the people he knew in this picture before the night of August 25th
"I went down there to provide first aid, i brought my orange first aid kit..."
"Two or three vans pulled up with people inside of them. They showed up and they wanted to protect the business, I didn't have a say... I was just there providing first aid stuff." -- Kyle Rittenhouse
Sam and Sal left the group there, Rittenhouse says Nick Smith was likely in contact with them, Sal gave Nick Smith a set of keys
"We would go out and ask if anyone needed any first aid assistance or put out any fires" -- Rittenhouse

"I am not" -- Rittenhouse
Kid is trying his best

"There were a lot of people there I didn't know what was going on just trying to find [his buddy]" at the gas station per Rittenhouse

got a call from Dominic Black, police stopped Rittenhouse from getting back to CarSource lot number 2
(Kyle Rittenhouse wasn't looking for trouble, looking for safety being caught in this situation)
Dominic Black told Kyle Rittenhouse to put the fires out at CarSource number 3
"I start running towards CarSource lot number 3, pausing to catch my breath and walk"
^ "Did you interact with Mr. Rosenbaum at any point"
"No I did not"

"I didn't notice until [Rosenbaum] came out behind a car and ambushed me" -- Rittenhouse
"I hear someone say 'Burn in hell' i respond 'friendly friendly friendly'"
Joshua Zaminsky approached Rittenhouse with a pistol in his hand, Kyle drops the fire extinguisher and takes a step back

"my plan is to get out of that situation" and get back to CarSource number 2
"Mr. Rosenbaum was now running from my right side and I was cornered in front of me with Mr. Zaminsky...."

"I went to run south, Mr. Rosenbaum was at the corner of the Duramax starting to chase me, realized I could only run straight toward CarSource number 3" -- Rittenhouse
Zaminsky instructed Rosenbaum to "get him and kill him" referring to Mr. Rittenhouse
"as I'm running southwest, Mr. Rosenbaum throws [his medical bag but it looked like the chain].... I turned around for a second and point my gun at Mr. Rosenbaum"
"does it stop him from chasing you"
"it does not" -- Kyle Rittenhouse
"As he's running, a gunshot goes off behind me, as I'm turning around, Mr. Rosenbaum is coming at me with his arms out in front of him... I remember his hand on the barrel of my gun"
"There was no space for me to continue to run to"

"as you see [Rosenbaum] lunging at you what do you do?"

"i shoot him" -- Kyle Rittenhouse
"Mr Mcginnis shows up"
"I pull out my phone and call Dominic black, tell him I just shot somebody I had to shoot him"

"People are now shouting 'get his ass,' 'get him,' 'get him'"

Kyle runs to turn himself in to law enforcement
"I continue to run after people are saying 'cranium him' 'get him' screaming.... I continue running"
"next thing I remember is Anthony Huber striking me in the head with a skateboard"

then remembers Gaige coming up to him
"I remember running past Anthony Huber, he's holding a skateboard like a baseball bat, i block it with my arm and it hits my neck"
"I get lightheaded, I pass out, stumble and I hit the ground"

Says he was struck twice. Once with a rock-like object in the back of the head

"I see Mr. Grosskreutz... he lunges at me with his pistol pointed directly at my hand"
going over re-racking
"Mr. Grosskreutz is standing in front of you...."

"At that point I see a pistol in his hand..." -- Kyle Rittenhouse
"His pistol is in his hand.... and then Mr. Grosskreutz looks at me... that's when [he] brings his arm down like this...."

"how many times did you shoot him?"

"once"
"He backs with his hands up and I don't shoot him" -- Rittenhouse referring to the end of the Grosskreutz encounter.
