Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense attorneys on Wednesday asked a judge to grant a mistrial in the case against the teen who shot and killed two people and wounded a third during the unrest in Kenosha after the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
Defense attorney Corey Chirafisi asked for a mistrial with prejudice, meaning if the judge granted the motion, prosecutors could not refile the charges.
He made the motion on the basis of “prosecutorial overreach,” after Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger cross-examined Rittenhouse, who took the stand and said he acted in self-defense that night.
Judge Bruce Schroeder declined to make a ruling on the motion immediately and allowed testimony to continue Wednesday afternoon.
