Kyle Rittenhouse’s attorney wants a judge to allow him to argue that one of the men his client fatally shot during a Wisconsin protest was a sex offender, saying it supports a defense theory that he attacked Rittenhouse and intended to take his gun because he couldn’t legally possess one.
Mark Richards maintained in court filings Thursday that Joseph Rosenbaum was convicted of having sex with a minor in Arizona in 2002 and was prohibited from possessing firearms. Rosenbaum started the altercation with Rittenhouse in hopes of making off with his assault-style rifle, which only bolsters Rittenhouse’s self-defense argument, Richards wrote.
Kimberley Motley, an attorney representing Rosenbaum’s estate, said Tuesday morning that she hadn’t read the motions yet and had no immediate comment.

What have Rittenhouse’s parent’s been charged with? Parental neglect and abandonment?
When did you sign up on FR, Ilhan?
I hate to burst your bubble, but Rittenhouse is not a German name, just a German/Austrian name. Got any other theories?
He hit a burglar, wife beater and child molester.
High class of people the BLM Antifa attract.
The child molester had a record of violent incidents while in prison for child rape.
You CANNOT POSSIBLY be that stupid, ignorant or otherwise intolerant, having been here as long as you have. I suggest you sober up, look at what you posted, realize just how ignorant you came across as, and decide where you want to go with this particularly problematic statement posted in your name.
Schnitzels, cheese, and beer. Sounds like Wisconsin, to me. Do people not know the Germans are thick up there?
Video from earlier that night showed Rosenbaum confronting armed defenders, one of which looked like Kyle, but wasn’t. There is a strong case for mistaken identity, as Rosenbaum may have thought Kyle was the guy he had a confrontation with earlier in the night. Of course, video would also show that Rosenbaum was highly agitated and confrontational, starting dumpster fires, trying to start a fight.
Kyle will forever be known for “The Kenosha Hat Trick”.
Just another Political Show Trial.
The Kid is screwed.
“Joseph Rosenbaum was convicted of having sex with a minor in Arizona in 2002 ....”
Male or female minor?
Not necessarily. If any of the men he shot were black, maybe, but none of them were.
The defense team must be leading with the “They all needed shot anyways” tactic?
Wasn’t Rosenbaum the one that had - just hours before - left the nearby hospital where he’d been under psych evaluation, or something like that?
I cannot see the video of the Rosenbaum/other guy’s attack-from behind on Rittenhouse but it definitely showed Rittenhouse walking ahead of them. They came up from behind and attacked. That makes it a case of self-defense but this is Wisconsin where Marxism is strong.
Hopefully the defense attorneys will show the video and force the prosecutor to admit that Rittenhouse was attacked from behind, possibly by people he never met or knew.
If the jury is half sober, Rittenhouse walks and the prosecutor eats shit.
Male. He was a homo pedophile.
Did Rittenhouse know that the guy was a child molester? Even if he did, that didn't give him the right to be his executioner.
The attorney needs to focus on self-defense at the time of the shooting, not on the past actions of the victim.
“Male. He was a homo pedophile.”
“was attacked from behind”
Sounds like an MO to me!
