Does the Rittenhouse acquittal set a precedent? Two experts weigh in

Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager on trial for killing two people and shooting and wounding a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin, was acquitted by a jury Friday on all counts. The now 18-year-old faced five charges, including intentional homicide, reckless endangerment and use of a weapon. NPR correspondent David Schafer and attorney Julius Kim join Judy Woodruff to discuss the case.
