Prosecutors in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial rested their case Tuesday following a week of testimony that at times appeared to hurt them more than help.

Much of the explosive testimony came on Monday when Gaige Grosskreutz, the only person to survive being shot by Rittenhouse, lent support to the defense’s central claim that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense on Aug. 25, 2020. That night, Rittenhouse shot and wounded Grosskreutz in the arm minutes after fatally shooting Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26.
