"I believe they came to the correct verdict and I’m glad that everything went well," Rittenhouse said. "It’s been a rough journey but we made it through it. We made it through the hard part."

Rittenhouse, an Illinois resident, was accused of murdering two people and injuring another amid riots that took place in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake.
