Five counts. Five not-guilty verdicts. On November nineteenth, 2021, a Kenosha jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse after shootings that killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounded Gaige Grosskreutz. That ended the criminal trial. Separate civil claims would put different questions before different courts, under a different burden of proof.

Criminal footage is November 2021. Civil coverage is the February 1,2023 Huber order and April 13,2023 Grosskreutz-track filings; later civil activity is not a primary-verified current-status certification or global final outcome.
