Prosecutors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case are seeking to admit a video from an incident prior to the Kenosha protest shootings where Rittenhouse said he wished he had his AR-15 so he could shoot people he witnessed shoplifting.
Rittenhouse, 18, formerly an Antioch resident, was arrested in August 2020 for fatally shooting Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum and shooting and injuring a third person.
He was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree reckless homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide and possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18.
Prosecutors filed a motion this week saying they obtained a video where a person, identified by them as Rittenhouse, is on the side of a street watching several people leave a CVS Pharmacy, the Kenosha News reported. The motion said that Rittenhouse was watching the group of people leave the CVS while carrying bags and loading them into the trunk of a car. "It looks like one of them has a weapon," Rittenhouse said, according to the motion.
