WATCH: Prosecutor Lists Numerous Alleged Crimes Of Man Kyle Rittenhouse Fatally Shot, Downplays As Irrelevant

During a pre-trial hearing on Monday, prosecution tried to argued that alleged past actions of Joseph Rosenbaum have no connection to the deceased being fatally shot by Kyle Rittenhouse during a riot in August 2020.

Attempting to illustrate the point that there’s “no factually commonality” between prior alleged actions of Rosenbaum on the night of the incident to the shooting, prosecution listed off accusations from defense and downplayed the relevance.

“Mr. Rosenbaum started fires that night,” prosecution said. “Well, that has nothing to do with the allegation that he chased after Mr. Rittenhouse and tried to physically attack him. Arsonist — or alleged arson, has nothing to do with an alleged physical assault. There is an allegation that Mr. Rosenbaum was shouting racial slurs; that has nothing to do with physical assault.”

“There’s an allegation that he’s telling other people at [a] gas station to shoot him, which, really, is different than what was going on with Mr. Rittenhouse,” he argued. “Um, he clearly didn’t want Mr. Rittenhouse to shoot him. So, I don’t see that there’s any commonality, there.”
