A verdict has been reached in the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial, finding the accused teen of being not guilty in the Kenosha, Wisconsin shootings last year that left two dead and one injured.

Rittenhouse has pleaded not guilty to six charges from the fateful night, including first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and first-degree attempted intentional homicide.
