He was still out two nights later, when Rittenhouse was among the crowd.
He said he and other influencers, bloggers and activists who record video at demonstrations supplement traditional news media coverage and "make things better for everyone." "I wanted to help create transparency, so there's a record of things." "There was lots happening," he told the jury, when asked byBinger about why he went out that night. Jurors also heard from Koerrie Washington, a lifelong Kenosha resident and social media influencer who livestreamed hours of the unrest, on the second day of testimony following Monday's jury selection. Howard said there were last minute concerns among police and prosecutors that it would violate Marsy's Law, an amendment to Wisconsin's victim rights law approved by voters in April 2020. Grosskreutz, 27, of West Allis, was the last person shot by Rittenhouse. Authorities never downloaded data from the phone, though they did so on devices belonging to nearly everyone else they determined was involved or could identify or track down. Richards noted that even though police got a search warrant for the contents of Gaige Grosskreutz's cellphone last September, they never served it. "Evidence technicians gathered what they were able to observe that night," Howard said. Richards also asked Howard about how police could miss a pair of shell casings a resident found four days later under a car, near where Rosenbaum was fatally shot. Kyle Rittenhouse will argue self-defense: Experts say proving the argument to a jury isn't easy. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but this looks like a classic ambush, right?" he asked Howard.Īssistant District Attorney Thomas Binger objected and said it did look as if Rosenbaum was hiding among some cars at the Car Source auto lot at 63rd Street. On cross-examination, defense attorney Mark Richards revealed the same video with the defense's own enhancements, in different colors, that he says shows Rosenbaum lying in wait. It's meant to support the prosecution theory that Rittenhouse was chasing Rosenbaum, before they swapped roles and Rittenhouse ran from Rosenbaum. The clip was enhanced with markings to highlight Rittenhouse and Rosenbaum's moments before the shooting. Howard also introduced an enhanced clip of infrared aerial surveillance footage from the FBI. Some of the 20 jurors looked disturbed when close-ups were shown in court of Joseph Rosenbaum, laying motionless on the pavement, as a growing number of protesters arrived and yelled.Īt least two live streamers returned later to the spot where Rosenbaum was shot to capture images of his blood. How it happened: A visual timeline of violence in Kenosha after police shooting of Jacob Blake Martin Howard testified Wednesday about how quickly he and other investigators collected the mostly amateur videos from social media, where they were widely shared within hours of the shootings.
Rittenhouse's lawyers say he acted in self-defense, and will present much of the same video when they argue he had no choice but to fire eight shots from his AR-15-style rifle. KENOSHA, Wis. - Prosecutors got right to the heart of the case on the third day of Kyle Rittenhouse's murder trial: More than a dozen videos of a four-block stretch of Sheridan Road recorded on the night Rittenhouse killed two people and wounded a third.
