Judge Dismisses Count Accusing Kyle Rittenhouse of Violating Curfew Because State Presented Insufficient Evidence – By Aaron Keller (Law and Crime) / Nov 9 2021
The Wisconsin judge overseeing the intentional homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse on Tuesday afternoon dismissed the seventh count against the teen. That charge alleged that Rittenhouse failed to comply with an emergency management order of a state or local government by failing to heed a curfew on Aug. 25, 2020, when he shot three people and killed two of them.
Lead defense attorney Mark Richards moved to dismiss the count after the jury broke for lunch.
“I want to put on the record now that the state intends to rest,” said lead prosecutor Thomas Binger.
