Donald Trump backs gunman Rittenhouse after murder acquittal as US on riot alert
The Daily Express says FORMER US President Donald Trump has backed teenage gunman Kyle Rittenhouse following his controversial acquittal after shooting dead two civil rights protesters.
Rittenhouse was cleared of two counts of homicide, one count of attempted homicide and two counts of recklessly endangering safety by a jury in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Friday. The decision sparked protests across America and a full-scale riot in Portland, Oregon. In a case that has sharply divided America, the jury of five men and seven women decided after four days of deliberation that Rittenhouse – who collapsed in tears as the forewoman read the verdicts – shot dead two men and wounded a third in self-defence after being attacked by an angry mob.
