“Kyle Rittenhouse’s much-awaited trial in the fatal shootings during protests in Kenosha last summer will wait a bit longer, as a judge on Wednesday set a new date of Nov. 1. Rittenhouse, 18, is charged with killing Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, late on Aug. 25 during protests in Kenosha over the police shooting two days earlier of Jacob Blake, who was left paralyzed” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
“His lawyers say Rittenhouse acted in lawful self-defense, citing widely seen cellphone videos of the shootings. During a brief pretrial hearing via Zoom on Wednesday, Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder granted the delay that both prosecutors and defense said was necessary in the case. They will meet again in May to see if that proposed schedule still works.”
