27 hours this afternoon, can you kind of walk me through [ inaudible ]? i mean, i expected we kind of picked amongst ourselves, our wives, our friends, my associates in the building, and i had tuesday at 4:30. so i was way wrong. nobody had it going past thursday. and there was talk today whether they were going to deliberate on saturday. i ve never seen a jury and i don t mean this as a slight to them, but they didn t have a lot of questions. we had no information that they ever fought. they were just working through the issues. and, you know, so it didn t it was the time that made me nervous. there wasn t any information coming out. reporter: they submitted five questions over that whole time, they never asked to watch videos beyond those five questions. was that concerning or puzzling for you? you know, i was afraid of a
0 a jury of his peers found kyle rittenhouse not guilty on all counts. rittenhouse collapsed in the kenosha, wisconsin courtroom as the final not guilty verdict was read. rittenhouse himself took the stand in his own defense, a risky move that approved successful for the defense. in and out conversation will turn to what s going to happen next. what affect will this case have on things like vigilanteism and self-defense arguments? not to mention what happens immediately in the city of kenosha. joining me from the courthouse in kenosha, wisconsin, nbc correspondent shaquille brewster. former federal prosecutor paul butler. nbc legal analyst danny cevallos. and former assistant district attorney in milwaukee county, julius kim. shaq, what is it like in kenosha right now? katy, when that verdict was read we saw a large group of people on the courthouse steps. this was something highly anticipated especially as the jury got into day four of deliberations. but then someone came out of the
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
