WATCH: “Kenosha Kid” Kyle Rittenhouse’s Lawyer Speaks Out, Reveals Details of Shooting

“Kenosha Kid” Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyer joined Tucker Carlson on Fox News this week to explain his self-defense argument in the deadly protest shooting last week. Rittenhouse is charged as an adult with two counts of first-degree homicide, said his attorney John Pierce. He also shot a third person who was assaulting him with a handgun.

“The firearm never crossed state lines,” Pierce said, in reference to one of the main issues in the case. “That is a legal firearm in the state of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is an open carry state. That charge is incorrect as a matter of state law.”

“He was in imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death. This is 100% self-defense, Tucker — Kyle is a good kid.”

“They began screaming that Kyle needed to be killed and they were going to kill him. They started relentlessly hunting him as prey as he ran down the street attempting to retreat,” he explained. “As he ran out of room to retreat, shots were fired from behind him.” (Read more from “WATCH: “Kenosha Kid” Kyle Rittenhouse’s Lawyer Speaks Out, Reveals Details of Shooting” HERE)
