Rittenhouse was arrested in August 2020 and released on a $2million bond after pleading not guilty, claiming self-defense as the reason behind the shootings. The long-awaited trial was then delayed on March 10, 2021, and did not start until November 1. Throughout the three-week trial, jurors saw testimony from multiple people, including Grosskreutz, who testified that he ...thought the defendant 'Rittenhouse ' was an active shooter." Asked what was going through his mind as he got closer to Rittenhouse, he said: ...That I was going to die.... On November 10, Rittenhouse then took the stand and sobbed during his testimony, forcing the proceedings to be halted. The former police youth cadet told the court on the seventh day of his murder trial, that he wanted to safeguard property from the unrest in the wake of Blake's injury. While testifying, Rittenhouse suggested he was attacked by Rosenbaum first. He also added that he saw videos of violence being instigated in Kenosha, and felt he was helping to protect the town. Rittenhouse initially appeared composed as he gave answers in a matter-of-fact tone to questions from defense attorney Mark Richards. However, he quickly broke his collected appearance when he described the moment Rosenbaum allegedly ran towards him. Following Rittenhouse's breakdown, the judge called for a 10-minute break in the testimony. Rittenhouse's mother was also seen crying in the courtroom. Nine days later, he was found not guilty of all charges against him and was free to go. We pay for your stories! Do you have a story for The US Sun team?
