One of the prosecution’s star witnesses in the homicide trial of Kyle Rittenhouse has a long criminal rap sheet, and some charges he faced were dropped just before the trial began last month, according to a report.
Gaige Grosskreutz, who was shot and injured by Rittenhouse during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer, was called by the state in its attempt to prove that Rittenhouse acted maliciously.
Prosecutors portrayed Grosskreutz, 28, as an upstanding citizen who was serving as a paramedic during the riot.
Grosskreutz admitted during cross-examination that Rittenhouse only shot him in the arm after he drew a gun on the teen.
WISCONSIN—Rittenhouse trial:
Defense: “With your arms up in the air, he never fired?”
Gaige Grosskreutz: “Correct.”
Defense: “It wasn’t until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him, with your gun…pointed at him that he fired?”
Grosskreutz: “Correct”.#KyleRittenhouse pic.twitter.com/BIU5K1aV6V

Grosskreutz also admitted to Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger that he did not have a valid gun permit at the time of the incident.
Gaige Grosskreutz, who was shot in the arm by #Rittenhouse, is asked if I he had a permit to carry the firearm he had when he rushed toward the teen. “I did,” he responds. He is asked if the permit was actually valid.
“It was not,” he answers. #Kenosha pic.twitter.com/honc2xnA9F

A new report claims Grosskreutz has a criminal record spanning more than a decade.
He has been accused of burglary, drink driving, carrying a loaded gun while intoxicated, domestic abuse, prowling and trespassing, the Daily Mail reported.
He also has a history of disobeying and lying to police.
Six days before he testified about his encounter with Rittenhouse, a DUI charge against him was dropped on a technicality, according to the Mail.
This prevented the defense team from questioning Grosskreutz about his criminal past. The jury likewise heard nothing about it.
Nine days before he was shot by Rittenhouse, Grosskreutz was arrested for filming vehicles in a police parking lot in West Allis, Wisconsin, the Mail reported.
“Gaige made clear his anti law enforcement views,” officer Ryan Stuettgen wrote in the police report of the incident.
In 2012, Grosskreutz was arrested in New Berlin, Wisconsin, for allegedly burglarizing a home and stealing three video game consoles. The police report of the incident noted that officers suspected Grosskreutz of being dishonest with them.
In 2010, Grosskreutz was allegedly involved in an incident in which he hit his own grandmother in the face and smashed a lamp against a wall.
The jury in the Rittenhouse trial began deliberations on Tuesday morning following closing arguments on Monday.

Why can’t anyone just let this GO…. Kyle was found innocent by a jury of his peers , Move on already ! Go back to playing your PS5 in your mothers basement !
Because LibTards are mentally insufficient and emotionally overwrought! OH, yeah, and an enemy to freedom and the USofA. Appomattox was a serious mistake.
Oh I know , they are boo-hooin big time, but Oh well ! nothing they can do now except when the civil suits start , My answer is this, dont wanna die , dont go out and become a thug on the streets !
They cannot let this opportunity go until there is another to tie into…..the bizarre and liberal logic tells them not to let go until the is another crisis, also known as Rham Logic!
Nobody surprized. Kyle killed and wounded real bandits. Stop nonsense.
Whoa, whoa — you’ve got this all wrong. The left can do WHATEVER they want — BUT — you can’t shoot back!! (that would be unfair) :^(
The Left’s “guilty until proven innocent” is getting old. The fake news are disgusting and foment the riots along with BLM and antifa – anything for destructive riots, looting, arson and assaults and murder. What a bunch of coward Commie Marxist socialist pricks.
How does a white guy shooting white criminals equate to a racist event….even a very long stretch for BLM! Rittenhouse is very lucky, it could have gone the other way andhe would be in prison for the rest of his life!
Again, Kyle did NOT shoot “Angels”, they all had wrap sheets, long wrap sheets, and we knew THAT or were AWARE of that all along…..In an HONEST and FAIR Trial, they, Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys should have been allowed to present that in Trial….Anyway, Kyle was found NOT Guilty because he did shoot them all in Self Defense – NO doubt about it, in fact, he should have never been charged in the first place, WASTE of time and MONEY……!!!!
DummyCrats are the Sewer Scum of the USA.
HERE WE GO AGAIN, the so-called media is about to tell us another fairy tale, so what half of the people in the world have so kind of a “wrap sheet”, so even go back to when they were still in school. I’ll bet that even some of the so-called reporters have a wrap sheet of some sort and if a real honest investigative reporter put his mind to it he could dig up real dirt on not only them but Congressmen, vice president, and yes even the president and his family, so fairy tale media how about getting out there and telling the AMERICAN PEOPLE(who used to trust you guys and gals) the truth and stop being liars and playing politics for a favor or two if you tell the public what someone else is telling you to tell. GOD BLESS AMERICA, ONE DIVIDED NATION UNDER GOD.
Arrest the prosecutors. Enough is enough.
