Kyle Rittenhouse struggled to stay alert and focused during his recent homicide trial as shocking images of the teen shooter yawning in the courtroom went public.
The trial’s proceeding began on Tuesday in Wisconsin which will ultimately decide the 18-year old’s fate, experts proclaimed.
During the session, it was astonishing to see how laid back and casual Rittenhouse appeared, giving out several yaws throughout the proceedings. The incident occurred when lawyers from both sides began to deliver their opening statements in the courtroom located in Kenosha.
This was in regards to the harrowing Kenosha shootings that left two men killed and one severely wounded during the protests related to police brutality last year.
Rittenhouse yawned during the trial including the moment when he stood dead straight in front of the jurors who began to move into the courtroom. Surprisingly, it was strange to see him pay no regard to his own lawyer and his opening statement as the teen looked disinterested as a whole.
Reports have gone on to mention how just one day before, the teen couldn’t help himself from yawning during the jury selection process too.
Rittenhouse who is actually an aspiring police officer has been accused of fatally shooting and killing two victims which include 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum and 26-year-old Anthony Huber. Similarly, he is accused of critically wounding 27-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz during the attack that took place on the 25th of August, 2020.
These shootings coincided with the ongoing unrest that was prevalent in the city, right after a police shooting incident critically wounded Jacob Blake. That left him paralyzed from the waist downwards, local media outlets confirmed.
Meanwhile, prosecutors for this case are going about arguing how Rittenhouse was only trying to defend himself during the attack and had no intention of starting any form of conflict.
