tell us who anthony huber was. the blakes just said he was a friend of jacob blake who was shot by police officer seven times in the back. what he came out that night. and then what happened. >> thank you for that because it is a great point. the world did not get to hear from anthony huber and he did not get the due process that kyle rittenhouse got come he did not get an opportunity to present his case, hendry instructions in his favor, and so on. he had judge, jury, and executioner. thank you for that opportunity. anthony huber was loved. he was loved by his parents. he was loved by hanna and many others. he was a tremendous skateboarder. those areas in kenosha, downtown kenosha, where his part, his community, where he spent so much time. the idea -- [indiscernible] consistently when we talk to people that anthony, was an absolutely lovely person. he was loved by all those around him. amy: we were showing video of him skateboarding. if you could talk about that night. in many circles especially in kenosha and th

anthony huber comes in with skateboard. in just a few seconds, the defendant kills one person, attempts to kill two more, and blows off gaige grosskreutz's arm. it's that fast. this is someone who has no remorse, no regard for life. only cares about himself. and that's folks that are coming at him, the jump kick man, anthony huber, aren't armed. they're not a credible, imminent threat to his life. they are trying to stop an active shooter. and they have a right to do so. imagine if the crowd couldn't do that. imagine if they weren't allowed to try and stop someone in this type of situation. after killing anthony huber, after severely wounding gaige grosskreutz, the defendant walks away, like he's some sort of hero in a western. without a care in the world for anything he's just done. you know, it's interesting, this occurs about a block away from the police line, right down the road. if the defendant is so concerned about his safety, the police are right there. and in fact they pull up to this scene almost instantly. the de

[shouting] now here's the slow motion -- she'd been hit in the head. his cap is off. anthony huber winding up with the full force of his body. he swings the skateboard at kyle. kyle sentences that come in, he turns around and looks, blocks it with his arm. doesn't turn around and shoot anthony huber. he's being attacked with what is a deadly weapon. a skateboard can cause death and great bodily harm, ladies and gentlemen. he doesn't do it, he continues to run a couple of steps before a blow to the head. he immediately changes direction, goes running for the skateboard. this is slow motion. these down on the ground, he set up. trying to get out. the individual at kyle's left is the one whom ron said. kyle points the firearm, he backs off, he is not shot at. backs up. he's now addressing the second stretch. that individual right there is stopping. he watches. contact. incomes anthony huber. a blow to the head. now going to start it, you will see anthony

and these folks that are coming at him, the jump kick man, anthony huber, aren't armed. they're not a credible imminent threat to his life. they are trying to stop an active shooter. and they have a right to do so. imagine if the crowd couldn't do that. imagine if they weren't allowed to try and stop someone in this type of situation. after killing anthony huber, after severely wounding gaige grosskreutz, the defendant walked away like he's some sort of hero in a western. without a care in the world for anything he's just done. you know, it is interesting, this occurs about a block away from the police line. right down the road. if the defendant is so concerned about his safety, the police are right there. and in fact they pull up to this scenario almost instantly. the defendant has got his medic b bag on. he proclaims a metdic. he doesn't know if anthony huber is dead or live or capable of being saved and yet the defendant offers no assistance, makes no attempt to try to help anyone else, all he care about is himself. we have taken that video and we have broken it down

that was for the death of anthony huber. the two lower counts within those are the reckless homicide and second degree intentional homicide. outside of the lower counts, you have kill rittenhouse -- >> let's listen in. >> reporter: the judge is speaking right now. let's go to that. >> thanks, shaq. >>>. >> our timing is impeccable these days, shaq. all right. shaq, we -- we e don't have any audio right now. he is talking. >> reporter: i'll let you stop me, chuck. >> i will stop you. go ahead. i will stop you. walk us through the counts. this is an important part of this that people need to be prepared for. >> exactly. let's start from the top. the five felony counts that rittenhouse is facing. the first one is the first degree reckless homicide. that carries a maximum penalty of 60 years. count two, first degree reckless endangering of safety. that's for the shooting of mr. mcginnis. not the shooting but putting the prosecution's arguing that he was shot at. and that carries 12 1/2 years in prison. there's a third degree --

kyle writ house is running away from anthony huber. the state wants to call my clients an active shooter. the reason they want to do that is because of the loaded connotations of that word. everyone has heard of the theater killings, the school shootings and things like that. ask yourself the definition of an active shooter is somebody with a plan to inflict multiple casualties, usually out of anger or animus towards a group. this case, what caused kyle rittenhouse to shoot somebody? joseph rosenbaum. he runs after shooting joseph rosenbaum for almost two blocks before scene number 2. mr. binger makes a big thing about kyle rittenhouse not staying around car source 3 after the shooting. ladies and gentlemen, if kyle rittenhouse had stayed at car source 3, all that would have happen is made the police have an easier job. scene 1 and scene 2 would have been put in the same location. my client ran two blocks without shooting at anyone, pointing at anyone, doing anything to try to get away. he tells the individuals that he's going to the p

was practically certain to kill anthony huber. that gun was pointed at anthony huber's left lower rib cage, and the defendant deliberately pulled the trigger. that was no accident. when you do that with an ar-15 against somebody's body, it is practically certain to kill them. we all know this case comes down to self-defense. but there is a high bar for using deadly force in a self-defense situation. the law says that the defendant may intentionally use force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if the defendant reasonably believed that the force was necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself. so did joseph rosenbaum pose an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm to the defendant? no way. did anthony huber pose an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm to the defendant? absolutely not. did jump-kick man or jade? no. none of these people posed an imminent threat to the defendant's life or to cause great bodily harm. the standard, when you make this decision, is w

he saw the defendant kill anthony huber. gaige grosskreutz believed his life was in danger at that moment. and he was proven correct. the defendant shot him two. too. when you consider what's reasonable in this case, consider whether or not it's reasonable for a criminal to be able to shoot himself out of a crime scene. when a bank robber robs a bank and runs away and a crowd comes after them, can he just shoot anybody and claim self-defense? if somebody comes up to that person tries to stop them and disarm them like anthony huber dead, do they forfeit their life? did he forfeit his life by trying to be a hero and stop an active shooter and protect others? is not justified? and the defendant just kill him? in this case, the crowd was right. the crowd knew that the defendant had shot someone. when they're coming after him, they know he has just shot and killed joseph rosenbaum. but not every active shooter situation does the crowd have perfect knowledge. when they are told that person running up the street to shot someone, we

the parents of anthony huber put out a statement today in response to the verdict. they said, quote, we are heartbroken and angry that kyle rittenhouse was acquitted in his criminal trial for the murder of our son anthony huber. there was no justice today for anthony, or for mr. rittenhouse's other two victims. we did not attend the trial because we could not bear to sit in a courtroom and repeatedly watch videos of our son's murder, and because we have been subjected to many hurtful and nasty comments in the past year. but we watched the trial closely, hoping it would bring closure. that did not happen. today's verdict means there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son. it sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence, and then use the danger they have created to just shooting people in the street. we hope that decent people will join us in forcefully rejecting that message and demanding more of our laws, our officials, and our justice system. make no mistake, our fight to hold those responsible for a

certain to kill anthony huber. that gun was pointed at anthony huber's lower left rib cage and the defendant pulled the trigger, that is no accident. when you do that with an ar-15 against somebody's body, it is practically certain to kill. we all know this case comes down to self-defense. but there's a high bar for using deadly force in a self-defense situation. the law says that the defendant may intentionally use force, which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm, only if the defendant reasonably believed that the force was necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself. so did joseph rosenbaum pose an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm to the defendant? no way. did anthony huber pose an imminent threat of great bodily harm to the defendant, absolutely not. did jump kick man or gaige grosskreutz, no, none of these posed an imminent threat to life or to cause great bodily harm. the standard when you make this decision is what a person of ordinary intelligence an

comes anthony huber. 26-year-old. from what i understand, he died almost instantly. >> here is the reason why he died almost instantly, kind of ammunition that shot from this gun, on a direct front shot brings something called cavettation. no other ammunition creates cavettation, waves of energy, his lungs, his heart, may have pulverized. if you are shot with a low caliber 9 millimeter, 22, they could dig it out of you, there is nothing to dig out when you are shot with a high round directly. now, from 2000 yards, you might be able to get something, but. again, that is 2200 miles per hour, 1300 foot pounds, 3200 feet per second. at about 3 or 4 feet away, his internal organs pull -- pull -- nancy: they tried to revive him, that did not work. >> there was no heart left. nancy: you say there was nothing -- okay. >> no heart left. >> okay i thought you would put it in medical terms. >> in this part of testimony with kyle rittenhouse here, comes across as telling the truth. he is telling story, they can see video, i think

anthony huber, precious, jacob blake precious. arbery precious and some of us going to go down fighting in the name of the love and justice even as a society continually slides down a slope toward fascism. >> what do you mean by that? some of us will go down fighting. >> some of us will pay the ultimate price. >> some say that's a threat of violence. >> not at all. we said we're willing to pay the ultimate price because the people that came before that loved us and sacrificed for us paid the price and we are going to let the young folk know, let oppressed people know we're in solidarity with them no matter the cause. that's the krcrucial point. >> i have to run but do you have concerns about the makeup of the jim crow, jr., jim crow 3rd. we'll have to wait and see. but most importantly we need folks in this country to get spiritually and morally fortified to fight in the name of justice or we're going to lose democracy. >> i'm going to say it quickly because i'm going to get in trouble. out of all these trials we have, can you sep

anthony huber, and they said there was no justice for anthony or for mr. rittenhouse's other victims, joseph rosenbaum and gaige grosskreutz. to be clear, the juror has decided he did not commit murder, that he indeed was acting in self-defense, which is what the defense had presented to them, the prosecution obviously fighting against that. we, you know, we expect to hear from some more of these families. we expect to hear from the -- at least the attorney potentially for gaige grosskreutz who was severely injured in this, and who did take the stand. his testimony paramount in this case, as well as all of the video that this jury had and could watch as many times as it wanted. there was a lot of consternation by the defense in letting this jury watch the video, you have to be careful putting so much onus on one piece of evidence. the judge being very clear, that may apply to witness statements, but that should not apply to video that shows the action that they are deciding. it shows the very moments of these killings, and so the jury did so. they did take

anthony huber's parents, they say they are heartbroken by the verdict. joining me now, the former district attorney for waukesha county, wisconsin. and the jury and trial consultant. gentlemen, good evening to you. so, paul, i am going to start with you because you -- everyone says you have been saying this, the prosecution had a very high bar. um, and -- it -- you had said that you believed that there would be -- he would be found guilty on one count you said -- that did not happen. >> i owe you a cup of coffee or a beer. i thought there would be a reckless homicide. i thought it would either be first or second degree -- probably second. and i believed it would be probably -- although i didn't say that at the time -- would probably be on mr. rosenbaum. and it looks like i came close but not close enough. but hey, look. it's a complicated case. it's -- it's -- the case spun out of control, don. and it began spinning out of control a long time ago and the verdict's a verdict. it is what it is. the jury worked hard. i give the jury a lot of respect. they w

so we expect to hear more from the family of anthony huber. and you know, as we go through this, what i think what laura coates just said is very, very important, that there is a political back drop to this. outside of the court, in the court, some of the political back drop was brought into the court by the defense. a lot of people gasping at the comparison between kyle rittenhouse who is not a police officer and the officer who was never charged with anything in the shooting of jacob blake. but, the judge has been very clear in saying that this should not be based on anyone's politics, this should be based on the evidence in this case. and it is clear that the jury did deliberate, and they did take their time and did look over evidence and they did ask questions, they did mull over what i think is the tar evidence in the case, the video itself of each of these shootings and it just so happened that each of them were captured on video that night. one from a drone from someone who brought that to the case very late in the case, and one or a co

huber, anthony huber, were not in the courtroom watching all of this and they explained why, they could not take the emotional toll from sitting in trial however members of anthony huber's family were there. his aunt for example was in court watching all of this the machinations of this court and waiting for the jury's discussion. but you hear there from a family who felt that their son was trying to do something valiant and they feel like justice was not served here. you'll hear the complete opposite from kyle rittenhouse, his family and his attorneys who feel that kyle rittenhouse as the jury also decided was innocent of all of these shootings and did so in self-defense. i do want to talk to you a little bit about some of the things that we learned in this case while the trial was going on. that was not public knowledge or whats not widely known publicly. one of things that we learned is that there is this drone video, a high resolution drone video that many folks had not seen including the prosecution and the defense until five days into this trial. and that high resolution drone vid

joining us is john huber, the father of anthony huber who was shot and killed by rittenhouse. mr. huber, good morning to you. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us. we do recognize this is an incredibly difficult and emotional time for you. how are you and your family doing this morning? >> good morning. we're doing okay. >> you were not in the courtroom during the trial because the videos and testimony were so overwhelming, you said you just couldn't be there. you couldn't see all that. but what was your personal reaction when the verdict was read? >> we were shocked. we relived his death all over again, that moment. >> now, you said that in a statement that there's been no justice or accountability for the death of your son. what message do you think this verdict sends? >> that it's okay for 17-year-olds to walk around with ar-15s. >> i just want to make something clear. i understand this is a very emotional time for you. you know, the jury did side with rittenhouse and his claim of self-defense, that he felt his life was threatened or he was not provoking the i

the parents of anthony huber issued a statement. "we are heartbroken and angry that kyle rittenhouse was acquitted. there was no justice today for anthony or for mr. rittenhouse's other victims. today's verdict means there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son. it sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence, and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the street." kyle rittenhouse left the courthouse a free man in the backseat of a car after the verdict. his attorney mark richards spoke to reporters. >> he wants to get on with his life. he has a huge sense of relief for what the jury did to him today. he wishes none of this would have ever happened. >> reporter: this trial sparked a national debate about self-defense and vigilantism. rittenhouse armed himself with an ar-15 and chose to go to the protests. >> kyle got in over his head. he might have been foolish to be in that situation in that moment, but foolishness is not a crime in the

the parents of anthony huber say they are heartbroken by the verdict. adrienne broaddus is out front live in kenosha, wisconsin tonight. and adrienne, a very divided reaction on the ground tonight where you are to this verdict. >> absolutely, erin. and we saw that divide on the steps of the courthouse moments after the verdict was read. some shouted innocent and expressed relief. on the other hand, you had folks who gathered on the steps. some who have been here every day over the course of the trial who were disappointed. during the trial, the defense argued their client responded in self-defense after he was attacked. and tonight, that teen is free. >> we, the jury, find the defendant kyle h. rittenhouse not guilty. >> the jury in the trial of kyle rittenhouse declaring him not guilty on all five charges. first-degree reckless homicide and the death of joseph rosenbaum. >> not guilty. >> reporter: two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety. >> not guilty. >> first-degree intentional homicide in the death of anthony huber and in the shoot

>> woodruff: rittenhouse shot three people, two of them, joseph rosenbaum and anthony huber, fatally, after protests and riots broke out in kenosha in august 2020. that civil unrest had been triggered by the police shooting of jacob blake, a black resident, three days before. rittenhouse, then 17, drove from his home in illinois, to kenosha and walked the streets with a semi-automatic rifle. he claimed he was attacked and shot in self-defense. the case became a flashpoint in the debate over whether rittenhouse was a vigilante or defending himself. rittenhouse's attorney, mark richards, spoke after the verdict >> kyle is not here, he's on his way home, he wants to get on with his life, he has a huge sense of relief for what the jury did to him today. the story that came out at the beginning was not the true story, and that was something that we had to overcome in court, and we think we did that. >> woodruff: victim anthony huber's passport issued a statement this afternoon. today's verdict means there is no accountability for the person who murdered our son. they wrote, it sends the un

he's counsel to anthony huber�*s family. speaking earlier to us from chicago, he said the family is heartbroken and still traumatised. we are thinking about anthony's family, karen and john huber. they are heartbroken and angry — heartbroken that they'll never see their son again, but also angry at the verdict. they didn't attend the trial, as many of you all know, because they were traumatised already by the videos of their son's murder, and didn't want to see much of that, and also hurt by public comments, insensitive about their son, so my view is the bottom line is there was no justice today for their son, anthony, or the other victims. and karen and john know that anthony is the one who should be remembered as a hero. he tried to disarm rittenhouse. he tried to end the gunfire. he tried to stop the bloodshed. also in the statement released by anthony's parents, they said, "neither mr rittenhouse nor the kenosha police, "who authorised" — their words — "this bloody rampage will escape justice." what does that mean?

one of those he killed, 26-year-old anthony huber. according to rittenhouse huber hit him with his skateboard, tried to grab his rifle. his great aunt, who testified for the prosecution, was in court today when the verdict was delivered. her name is susan hughes, and she joins us now. susan, i'm very sorry for your loss, and i appreciate you taking this opportunity. >> thank you. >> my condolences to the family. what did the verdict mean to you? >> well, you know, i would like to say it's closure. it's not really. but it's another milestone in the path to eventually being able to deal with anthony's death and for that matter for carrie ann to deal with joseph and gage to get on with his life. i'm not naive. i think we will continue to be contacted by media every time some circumstance comes up regarding this. but we haven't had -- it's been 15 months of solid -- every day i've seen that video, not intentionally. but i open my phone. you know, it's -- it's running on some crawl on a news feed or whatever. we need to get past that. chan

they are not happy with the verdict at all in a statement, the parents of anthony huber wrote we are heartbroken and angry that kyle rittenhouse was acquit in his criminal trial for the murder of our son, anthony huber there was no justice today the defense attorney for rittenhouse telling reporters today that they decided to put rittenhouse on the stand and that it really wasn't a question as they were moving forward. >> we had a mock jury, and we did two different juries, one with him testifying and one without him testifying it was substantially better when he testified to a marked degree and that sealed it. >> the spokesperson for the rittenhouse family tells fox news that he's happy kyle can move on with his life and that kyle told him thank you, via text the trial has been a political flash point since the start. republicans in congress applauding the verdict, while president biden, who during the 2020 campaign, suggested that rittenhouse was a white supremacist was asked whether he stood by that comment. >> well, look, i stand by what the jury has concluded the jury system wor

again, that statement tonight from the parents of anthony huber, one of the two men who were shot and killed by kyle rittenhouse, incan osha last year. he was acquitted on all charges today, we will have more live from kenosha coming up in just a couple of minutes. i should also tell you that there is more to come, in terms of these gut wrenching, harrowing trials. and i mean more to come in very short order, quite soon. the jury is out, we are waiting on a jury right now in charlottesville virginia where two dozen neo-nazi and white supremacists and individual groups are facing a civil trial that accuses them of planning the violence that happened at the right wing supremacist rally in 2017. as i said, the jury is out, they've have held deliberations today, that will be back delivering on monday, and we will be waiting the verdict in that trial. also, the jury has not yet got the case, but closing arguments are due to start on monday. in the trial of the three men accused of chasing down and shooting to death ahmaud arbery, an unarmed black man who was jogging in his neighborhood. in

as to the fourth count of the information, anthony huber, we the jury find the defendant kyle rittenhouse not guilty. to the fifth couldn't of the information, gaige grosskreutz, we find the charges not guilty. >> a few key points that we've been talking to the rittenhouse family about have been a couple of the people that testified, that includes gaige grosskreutz. he's one of the people that took the stand, the third person that was shot by kyle rittenhouse. three people shot that night. two were killed. grosskreutz taking the stand here in kenosha county testifying that he was just defending himself that night. take a listen to what it was like when we heard more about if it was those deliberations continuing because the jurors tried to answer the questions, was itself defense or did he provoke the shooting. this is dave hancock. >> this verdict from this jury, they came back and i believe they were cerebral and they thought about every single piece of the jury instructions. so justice was done for kyle. he gets to live a life as a free young man. >> as f

anthony huber. they have said that it sends the unacceptable message that armed civilians can show up in any town, incite violence and then use the danger they have created to justify shooting people in the streets. and that is the core argument that many liberal groups are making about the fact that mr rittenhouse has been cleared because this isn't just about what happened here in kenosha. this verdict has been seen as a referendum on the very polarising issue. —— on the very polarising issue of gun ownership. he is the second amendment personified, and for them, pro—gun right groups, this a victory for the second amendment. what sort of message does this send out and not face any consequences. what sort of message does that send out? that people can turn up two protests with guns and not face any consequences. kyle rittenhouse was very emotional when that verdict was read out. i suppose for a lot of people here, a lot of protesters outside the courthouse, itjust leaves a very worrying concl

as to the fourth count of the information, anthony huber, we the jury find the defendant, kyle h rittenhouse, not guilty. as to the fifth count of the information, we the jury find the defendant, kyle h rittenhouse, not guilty. one civil rights activist gave his response to the verdict from outside the courthouse. ok, 0k, folks, at yourjob is done. one civil rights activist gave his response to the verdict from outside the courthouse. there is no way that you can justify in the streets of america that an individual can carry an automatic weapon, and ar 15, and shoot —— an individual can carry an automatic weapon, an ar 15, and shoot and kill anybody for any reason. there is no way you canjustify it, not having a licence to drive, let alone a licence to carry this weapon. so thatjudicial bias that was in this case, this is the same office that found beyond their means to level charges in the jacob blake junior case after he's been shot seven times in the back, and all of america saw that. so in spite of this verdict, we know what we saw, we know what we heard, and we know the truth. kyle

first i want to read a little bit more from the statement from anthony huber's family. and i'm curious about this in particular. they say, make no mistake, our fight to hold those responsible for anthony's death accountable continues in full force. neither mr. rittenhouse nor the police who authorized his bloody rampage will escape justice. anthony will have his day in court. paul butler, what does the family mean by "anthony will have his day in court"? what recourse do they have now? >> there are civil recourses including lawsuits to try to compensate the damage that mr. rittenhouse caused. in terms of our criminal resource, it's game over. the not guilty verdict means that the jurors believed that mr. rittenhouse's use of force was justified, that he reasonably believed that he faced a deadly threat from each of the three people he shot. the verdict also means that the jurors found that mr. rittenhouse was not the aggressor. he did not provoke any of this. but katy, in the eyes of the law, mr. rittenhouse was a victim. >> i know there's no double jeopardy in this cou

joseph rosenbaum and anthony huber and with me now is anthony huber's father john huber. thank you for being here. i spent time sitting with this washington post piece that went through a detailed timeline the night your son was killed and i wish you my condolences. it talked about his life, which was tough, personal issues with your son and his mom and hoarding. talk about your son and what he was dealing with when he was arrive. >> yeah, i don't know where that information came from with his home life. he had a good mom. he had a good family. he had an incident with his brother, got out of hand and the mom called 911. and like anyone should. it got out of hand and from there, it just got worse. you know, but he was a good kid. he wouldn't hurt anybody. >> now one of the other things -- >> he had a skateboard. >> i did get that, he was a skateboarder and that brought him joy and happiness was skateboarding. that was his outlet. he was a part of some of these protests partly because he knew jacob blake, the black man shot by police multiple times paralyzed. he knew him. i

anthony huber and joseph rosenbaum are dead. gaige grosskreutz was injured. the situation, immediately politicized. the left jumped on rittenhouse as the face of white hate. the white made him the poster boy for white fright and self-defense. but now at the trial notions of left and right must stay outside and all we know is what can be made as reasonable by the prosecutor. we only know what the prosecution can show. in the instant case, that means can the prosecution show that rittenhouse is guilty of murdering and injuring beyond a reasonable doubt. now, the surrounding circumstances are not helpful to rittenhouse. he claims he was at the protest to help, to provide medical support. but he was posing as an emt. he's not one. and he brought an ar-15 he wasn't allowed to have, two place he was not from, with no right or authority to protect any property. now, he says the property owner asked for his help. that is not what the owner says. nevertheless, for the jury, the key part is likely not why he was there, but whether it was reasonable for him to shoot thr

and including the family members of anthony huber, one of the people who was killed. here is huber's great aunt talking about what this means in this political moment. >> you throw that much adulation, turn him into a folk hero of some sort so you can advance your political career, he will be destroyed by the time he's 30. he's going to man-up real quickly and learn to say no. >> reporter: and she also said to our chris cuomo there that, yes there may be a right to self-defense, but that anthony huber also had a right to his life. so, this is, of course, very difficult and emotional for all parties to process right now. but as far as community reaction, what you saw in brooklyn, in portland, that is certainly not happening here in kenosha. christi and boris. >> natasha chen, thank you so much. we appreciate it. >>> so, president biden -- it's president biden's birthday. and his spending bill passing through the house. a lot of people say, well, that celebration may be short lived in that plan heads to the senate. we'll talk about that. >>> and later, what it takes to

that was john huber. it was his son anthony huber, one of two killed by kyle rittenhouse. let's bring in now page paid, a constitutional law and criminal defense attorney. good to see you. so you know, the core of this case was based on whether rittenhouse was defending himself, the jurors said, yes, it was self-defense. do you agree with john huber there that, you know, the road was paved once they dropped the charge of being a minor and unlawfully carrying that weapon. >> well, i certainly think dropping that charge helped kyle rittenhouse because at that point, the jury could say, well, you know, the judge has basically dismissed the charge that he was carrying a gun unlawfully. he had a right to be at the protest, he apparently had a right to have an assault rifle at the protest. all with e e need to focus on n was he reasonable in using deadly force when these other people appeared to either confront him or come towards him, and obviously the jury decided that under wisconsin law, which is a little unique here, that he was justified and it was self-defense. >> how do

. >> after you kill anthony huber, shoot gaige grosskreutz, and attempt to fire those to push out that the person who jumped at you, you got up and walked away. >> yes. >> you are what a block away from the police line? and you know that line as they are because you are running towards it? >> yes. >> there's really nothing on the road between you and that police line after the shooting, is there? everybody scatters? >> nothing in the road. >> you have a clear line of sight from where you did those shootings to those law enforcement vehicles, correct? >> yes. >> you still have your ar-15, and the crowd pretty much runs after they hear the shots, right? >> yes. >> you still have your medic bag. you never once offered to help anybody you just shot, correct? >> i don't. >> correct? >> correct. >> anthony huber is lying there on the ground after you shot him once in the chest. >> correct >> you didn't know whether he was alive or dead? >> i didn't. >> you never went over to check? >> no. >> you didn't know if it was possible to save his life, did you customer >> i didn't. >> you didn't care
