Kyle Rittenhouse’s self-defense strategy could get a big boost today.
The judge in his case is expected to rule later today whether Rittenhouse’s use of force expert can testify at his trial. Rittenhouse’s lawyers plan to tell the jury that Rittenhouse killed two people and wounded a third during Kenosha’s night of violence in the summer of 2020 only after he was attacked. Prosecutors have their own use of force expert that’s expected to disagree.
Rittenhouse is supposed to go on trial in the case on November 1st.
