Rittenhouse's mother: It was his life or the shooting victims' livesOn the eve of closing arguments in the homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, his mother argued in a 'Nightly News' interview that he would have been killed And if he wasn’t dropped off there, he wouldn’t have been in the situation. But she thought it was a acceptable evening out for him. If he didn't have that gun, none of this would have happened and two people wouldn't be dead.
