Kyle Rittenhouse, the teen accused of shooting three people at a riot in Kenosha, Wis., over the summer, has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, has argued he acted in self-defense.

Rittenhouse’s lawyers have argued that he was in fear for his life as he was being chased through the streets of Kenosha. He has said he attempted to surrender to a Kenosha police officer after the shooting but was told to go home. Kenosha police said they did not immediately arrest Rittenhouse as they were dealing with a chaotic scene.

Prosecutors claim Rittenhouse traveled across state lines from his home in Antioch, Ill., to Kenosha to protect businesses in the city during protests on August 25.
