Kyle Rittenhouse trial begins as jury selected in all-day session

Rittenhouse shot three people, killing two, during protests last year in Wisconsin after a white police officer shot Jacob Blake

The trial of Kyle Rittenhouse began on Monday with the challenge of seating jurors who had not made up their minds about the young man who shot three people, killing two, during a violent night of protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year.

Rittenhouse, now 18, faces life in prison if he is convicted of first-degree homicide. He faces two homicide counts, one of attempted homicide and two of recklessly endangering safety for firing his weapon near others. He is also charged with possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.
