Kyle Rittenhouse, who shot three people in Wisconsin during unrest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, is due in court Tuesday — where a judge is expected to rule on his request to call a self-defense expert in his upcoming trial.
Attorneys for the Illinois man are expected to argue in a Kenosha County courtroom that such use-of-force testimony is pivotal to Rittenhouse’s defense that he needed to protect himself from possible death or serious injury, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Rittenhouse shot three people, including two fatally, in Kenosha with an AR-15-style rifle last August amid riots and protests over the police shooting of Blake, who was left paralyzed from the waist down.

Lefty say’s he is not a felon, and I’ve yet to see any arrest or court records.
There were no real time videos of Zimmerman.
The videos makes this a pretty clear case.
It’s important to note that Huber likley shot himself when he grabbed the barrel of the AR and tried to yank it out of KR’s hands.
Well, not surprising that he would deny it, but it still might be true.
Agreed, but there likely would have been something exposed on the WWW by now. We shall see!
Best to you absalom01!
“So, the Judge ruling the person is an expert prevents the Prosecutor from having the expert witness testimony excluded from the trial? Is this correct thinking?”
If the judge allows someone as an expert witness, he or she can testify (in court or via deposition), as long as the testimony comports with the witness’ qualification on the subject at hand. The prosecutor can always move to have that testimony stricken, but such a motion must be based on sound law.
