Kyle Rittenhouse flashed his pearly whites while sitting in the backseat of an SUV and leaving the Kenosha courthouse following Friday's not guilty verdict.
The 18-year-old — who shot and killed two BLM protesters last year — looked happy and relieved to be a free man after being found not guilty on all counts.
As Breaking Celebrity News reported, Rittenhouse fell to the floor and wept when the verdict was read. Moments later, he was rushed out of the courtroom.
In photos obtained by The Sun, Rittenhouse was seen for the first time after the court's decision. Not shying away from the cameras, he grinned from ear-to-ear while being whisked away.
After four days of intense deliberations, the 12-person jury made the unanimous decision not to convict the teen of five charges, including first-degree intentional homicide, 2 counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, first-degree reckless homicide, and first-degree attempted intentional homicide.
In 2020, Rittenhouse — then 17 years old — used his semi-automatic rifle to shoot three BLM protestors, killing Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, Anthony M. Huber, 26. He also shot Gaige Grosskreutz, 27, who survived.
The three men were marching the streets in Kenosha to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake, who was left paralyzed after a white cop shot him in the back as his children watched.
