Kamala Harris says the verdict “speaks for itself” and shows that America has more to do to make its justice system “more equitable.”

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace says Kyle Rittenhouse would have gotten life in prison if he were Black.

Rittenhouse argued he was attacked by the protesters and was acting in self-defense when he shot the men with his AR-15, while prosecutors tried to frame Rittenhouse as the instigator in the shooting. The protests were taking place over a police shooting of Jacob Blake, who is Black. Rittenhouse faced five charges and was found not guilty on all of them. 

“​​Ha, let the boy be black and it would’ve been life…hell he would’ve had his life taken before the bullsh*t trial.. sad,” Wallace said in a tweet shortly after the verdict. 

Rittenhouse’s trial has divided the country, largely along partisan lines, with conservatives praising the jury’s decision and liberals condemning the decision. 

“Today’s verdict means there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son. It sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence, and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street,” Karen Bloom and John Huber, the parents of Anthony Huber, who was killed by Rittenhouse, said in a statement

Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who killed two people and shot another during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was acquitted today of first-degree intentional homicide and four other felony charges.

Rittenhouse, wearing a dark jacket with a burgundy tie and shirt, stood behind the defense table as each not guilty verdict was read. He tried to hold back tears, then sobbed and appeared to collapse forward on the table, where his attorney embraced him.

Rittenhouse's mother gasped after the final verdict was read, her head falling into her hands.

The panel of five men and seven women deliberated more than 25 hours over the past four days in a closely-watched case that polarized an already divided nation. The verdict cannot be appealed.
