The Kyle Rittenhouse trial begins - with ABC News legal correspondent Royal Oakes.
If you run into a riot and start shooting, can you claim self defense?
The trial will feature a bevy of video showing Rittenhouse's movements that night, including infrared video filmed from above Kenosha. The heart of the trial is the analysis of Rittenhouse's actions and whether they can be considered "reasonable."
Rittenhouse, now 18, fired an AR-15-style weapon eight times in all during the unrest: four shots at an unarmed Joseph Rosenbaum, two shots at an unarmed unknown individual, one shot at an unarmed Anthony Huber and one shot at an armed Gaige Grosskreutz.
Rittenhouse is charged with five felonies: first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, attempted first-degree intentional homicide and two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety. He is also charged with misdemeanor possession of a dangerous weapon under the age of 18 and a non-criminal violation of failure to comply with an emergency order. He has pleaded not guilty.
