Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial appears on the verge of wrapping up, but on Thursday—Veterans Day—as criticism over the propriety and impartiality of presiding Judge Bruce Schroeder reached a fever pitch, Schroeder kicked off proceedings by instructing jurors to clap for the only veteran in the room: an expert called by Rittenhouse’s defense. The exchange unfolded when the 18-year-old’s defense attorney called Dr. John Black to testify as a use of force expert. Rittenhouse is accused of shooting three men—Gaige Grosskreutz, Joseph Rosenbaum, and Anthony Huber—with a Smith & Wesson AR-15 style .223 rifle as protests unfolded last August in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Only Grosskreutz survived the contact with Rittenhouse. Huber and Rosenbaum died.
