Rittenhouse trial: Key state witness admits he pointed a gun at Rittenhouse before he was shot
KENOSHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The sixth day of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial shifted focus from the first shooting to the second and third. Witnesses recalled the moments when Anthony Huber was shot in the chest and killed, and Gaige Grosskreutz testified about being shot in the arm and surviving. Grosskreutz was the most anticipated witness called to the stand so far.
The state tried to show Grosskreutz was not a threat and even had his hands up when he approached Rittenhouse in the street. But the defense got Grosskreutz to admit he had a loaded gun in his hand, and that Rittenhouse did not shoot him until Grosskreutz lowered his hands and pointed that gun at him.
Eyewitness video from the scene shows as more people approached Rittenhouse, he was knocked to the ground. Grosskreutz was roughly five feet away, with his Glock pistol in his right hand and his cellphone in his left hand. At first, his hands were raised.
Prosecutor Thomas Binger asked him on the stand, "What was going through your mind at this particular moment?" Grosskreutz replied, "That I was going to die."
But on cross-examination, the defense went through the video again, at times second-by-second. Rittenhouse's defense attorney Corey Chirafisi asked Grosskreutz, "When you were standing three to five feet from him with your arms up in the air, he never fired, right?" Grosskreutz replied, "Correct. Chirafisi then asked, "It wasn't until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him, with your gun and your hands down, pointed at him, that he fired, right?" Again, Grosskreutz said, "Correct."
Chirafisi asked, "At this point, you're holding a loaded chamber of a Glock .27 in your right hand, yes?" Grosskreutz said, "That is correct, yes." Chirafisi asked, "You're are advancing on Mr. Rittenhouse, who is seated on his butt, right?" Grosskreutz said, "That is correct."
Later an independent journalist who was filming that night was called to the stand. Chirafisi asked, "[Rittenhouse] wasn't doing anything aggressively, correct?" Kristan Harris said, "I agree with that." Chirafisi continued, "He wasn't verbally threatening anyone?" Harris said, "No, he was offering help." Chirafisi asked, "He wasn't using his firearm in a way to scare or intimidate people by pointing it at them, agreed?" Harris said, "Agreed."
