The defence has rested its case at the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, setting the stage for closing arguments on Monday in the shootings that left Americans divided over whether he was a patriot taking a stand against lawlessness or a vigilante.Rittenhouse's lawyers completed their side of the case on Day 9 of the trial, a day after the 18-year-old Rittenhouse told the jury he was defending himself from attack and had no choice when he used his rifle to kill two men and wound a third on the streets of Kenosha in the summer of 2020.Prosecutors have sought to portray Rittenhouse as the instigator of the bloodshed, which took place during a tumultuous night of protests against racial injustice.
