Judge dismisses weapons charge against Kyle Rittenhouse as closing arguments begin.

Judge Bruce Schroeder dismissed one count of illegal possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.

But the judge cited an exception within the law, dealing with age of the defendant, length of the barrel and hunting, for dismissing that count. "But the criminal statute itself is more complicated than that. For this statute to apply, the defendant had to also violate a hunting regulation that only applied to people under 16. The defense discovered what was essentially an error in the legislation, that Kyle Rittenhouse cannot violate a law that only applies to someone under 16.”He isin the slaying of Anthony Huber, 26, and reckless homicide in the death of Joseph Rosenbaum, 36.

The whole situation is sad-this kid made a bad choice and comes from his upbringing-no winners. But he has to get some sort of punishment for murder-gun to fist fight is not self defense

Good luck Kyle. You did what many wanted to but haven’t the balls. You risked your life and future to protect someone’s Business and income for their families while assholes tore the city apart.

What ? He killed two people and the weapon is dismissed?

Why has this not been a miss trial already just from the judges actions

can you fire a judge? asking for all of America

This judge is incompetent. The kid is at least guilty of illegal weapon possession but nooo, he comes up with some BS technicality.

And that's good news! RittenhouseIsInnocent

Rittenhouse's mother: It was his life or the shooting victims' livesOn the eve of closing arguments in the homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, his mother argued in a 'Nightly News' interview that he would have been killed If Wendy 'Karen' Rittenhouse hadn't driven her unhinged, GQP-brainwashed 17-yr old son with his illegal gun, 26-yr old Anthony Huber & 36-yr old Joseph Rosenbaum wouldn't have been murdered & 27-yr old Gaige Grosskreutz wouldn't have been injured by Kyle Rittenhouse. If you had been a mother and not allowed him to go, two people would be alive. If your son was just there as a medic he would not have needed a weapon. He had his Ar-15 so he was brave to leave the place he was guarding.
