In Kenosha, Wisconsin, lawyers are delivering closing arguments today in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the white teenage gunman who fatally shot two people and wounded a third during racial justice protests in 2020. Last week, Judge Bruce Schroeder garnered yet more scrutiny after he called on the courtroom to applaud the service of a military member on Veterans Day; that military member was also a witness in the case, leading to concerns of possible jury bias. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has called 500 National Guard troops to be on standby ahead of a possible verdict.
