Kyle Rittenhaus, a 17-year-old young man who shot dead two rioters and seriously injured a third during an "important black life" demonstration in the city of Kanosha in August last year, is acquitted of all charges against him after a jury ruled he acted in self-defense.
As you may recall, Rittenhaus arrived in the town of Canosha armed with a 16-M rifle during riots that developed in the city following the shooting of Jacob Blake by city police.
The incident took place during a tense period in the United States, following a series of incidents in which blacks were killed during clashes with police officers - including George Floyd, and a wave of demonstrations and riots that erupted following these incidents.
It should be noted that in the United States the prosecution has no right to appeal a acquittal decision, and therefore the verdict is final.
Following the decision, there is a fear that renewed clashes will break out with protesters in cities in the United States.
