A lot of it will come down to how Wisconsin state law interprets certain concepts.
I think first degree murder charge won't stick and will come down to second degree murder at most. Although it should stick. Even if doubts can be cast on why he killed Rosenbaum. The fact that he did not turn himself in nor retreat after the murder. He murdered Huber. Which makes the murder intentional. He then proceeded to shoot Grosskreutz. Rittenhouse intentionally put himself into these situations and only retreated after killing 2 people and wounding 1. This hurts his self defense claim. As does the fact that he admits to having been there as a vigilante. So I'm thinking he will be convicted of second degree murder.
Rittenhouse's attorneys are using the same strategy that's used in police shootings. Problem is Rittenhouse isn't a cop. So it'll come down to whether his acts were reasonable given the scenario and imminent threat. But will hinge on why he didn't retreat when faced with said threat. Thats going to be the main thing.


He won't be innocent coz even if they prove his actions were reasonable given he has no training to deal with said situation. He did it while engaging in vigilantism which is illegal. Do self defense won't stick.
