Rittenhouse Trial Judge Says the Word “Victims” Cannot Be Used to Describe Victims of Fatal Shooting

HeadlineOct 27, 2021

In Kenosha, Wisconsin, the judge overseeing the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse has ruled the three protesters shot by the white teenager during racial justice protests last year cannot be labeled “victims” during the trial but can be called “rioters,” “looters” or “arsonists,” if the defense can provide evidence to justify such terms. Two of the protesters, Anthony M. Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum, were killed by Rittenhouse. The trial will start next week, on November 1.
