Attorneys for Kyle Rittenhouse ask for the murder case to be tossed after the judge rebuked prosecutors.
Lawyers for a teenager charged with shooting three people amid civil unrest in Wisconsin last year have called for a mistrial.
Riots had erupted on the streets of the city two days earlier after police shot a black man, Jacob Blake. Mr Rittenhouse had travelled to the city from his home in Illinois and, with a semi-automatic rifle in tow, he said he sought to help protect property from unrest on the streets.On Wednesday, day seven of the trial, lead prosecutor Thomas Binger and Judge Bruce Schroeder loudly quarrelled in court.
Lead attorney Corey Chirafasi even suggested that prosecutors may have been angling for a mistrial because the case was "going badly" for them.Taking the stand in a risky move for any defendant in a murder trial, Mr Rittenhouse said: "I didn't do anything wrong. I defended myself." He told the jury he believed Mr Rosenbaum was carrying a chain with him at one point, though he later learned it was a plastic bag.Kenosha was engulfed by riots the night before Kyle Rittenhouse was involved in a fatal confrontation
