huber was one of the people, the second person shot and killed that night in august by kyle rittenhouse coming at him with his skateboard and making contact hitting kyle rittenhouse. the mother and father of anthony huber said this and i m going to read it to you so that it is accurate. they said we re heartbroken and angry that kyle rittenhouse was acquitted in his criminal trial for the murder of our son anthony huber. there was no justice today for anthony or for mr. rittenhouse s other victims, josen rosenbaum and gaige grosskreutz. he was shot but did not die. his bicep was blown off and he did take the stand in this case. we should also mention that the mother and father of mr. huber, anthony huber, were not in the courtroom watching all of this and they explained why, they could not take the emotional toll from sitting in trial
they did what they could with the facts of the case but the deck was stacked against them not the least of which the judge in many way had their hands tied behind their backs. i just want to let everyone know that we ve just learned thought defense attorney for kyle rittenhouse will hold a news conference soon. so we ll bring that you live. but we want to go out to shimon on the ground first. so shimon, what are you hearing? reporter: so the governor, governor here governor evers released a statement just moments ago and obviously urging for peace and calm. but i ll read some of what he is saying. he s saying that no vrtd verdict will bring back the lives of rosenbaum or huber or heal ganl grosskreutz or the trauma experienced by jacob blake and his family. no ruling today changes our reality in wisconsin that we have work to do toward equity, accountability and justice, the communities across our state are
from, you know, mr. rosenbaum. don t want to speak ill of the dead, but he wasn t a nice person, and everybody knows why. and a lot of that didn t come in in front of the jury. so i don t know that there s any broader implications, i don t mean to to make it bigger than it is. a couple of politicians used the word vigilante, how do you react to that. maybe they should have watched the trial. can you share more about the reaction from the family? you know, it s one of those things that anything that s said at this time is kind of meaningless. we have to take it in, reflect on it and, you know, what s he thanking me for, and i don t mean that it s insincere, but it takes a while to process what
carlson s show started right when rosenbaum threw the bag. it did not start with the part that they showed at the beginning. it is a huge difference. that is what they built their whole case on. with that garbage photo. and, you know, maybe you don t expect everything in a trial, ever. and that program that they used and the expert from the crime lab specifically says on the company s blog, artificial intelligence enhancements are not to be used for forensic evidence. and they did it. and our research after it, it would have been the subject of a huge motion. we don t have to do it. and you said going into this trial you didn t want this to be [ inaudible question ]. you know, i didn t know that it says i mean, there is i personally don t like people
0 18-year-old man. and we ve also seen protesters. but not a lot. a number of people who are there with signs, who were perhaps hoping for a different outcome here. but the jurors, they looked at the law, they looked at jury instructions, they reviewed several pieces of evidence as they were deliberating over the course of four days, 25 hours. not guilty on all charges. the end of the kyle rittenhouse trial. the news continues right now with alisyn camerota. hello, everyone, i m alisyn camerota. welcome to newsroom. victor is off. we do have breaking news. minutes ago a jury acquitted kyle rittenhouse on all counts. rittenhouse was 17 years old when he fatally shot two men and wounded a third with an ar-15 style rifle that he brought to racial justice protests in august of 2020. he was charged with homicide and reckless endangerment. he could have gotten a life sentence but will walk free today. rittenhouse took the stand during trial, testifying that he acted in self-defense. the
