A defense attorney for teenager Kyle Rittenhouse wants the judge to let him argue that one of the three men his client shot last August was a sex offender.
Kenosha County prosecutors have charged Rittenhouse with killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber during the protests last summer.
Rittenhouse has argued he fired in self-defense.
His attorney wants to be allowed to argue Rosenbaum was convicted of having sex with a minor in Arizona in 2002, making him a convicted felon.
The theory would be that Rosenbaum was trying to steal the gun held by Rittenhouse because he couldn’t legally possess one.
