he was 18+ when the trial started.
also, the judge in that case later said it was a mistake and he'd never do it again. the left wildly mischaracterized everything he said and did.
for example, leftists claimed he yelled at the prosecutor repeatedly. that was false. video shows he admonished the prosecutor for trying to bait a mistrial, unlawfully prodded rittenhouse's right to remain silent. the second time, the prosecutor intentionally tried to unlawfully show evidence directly to the jury which the judge had already ruled was inadmissible.
another example... typically a jury trial has one or more alternate jurors. that way if someone on the jury gets sick or has an issue, they don't have to retry the whole case. depending on the court, how the court dismisses the alternate(s) can vary widely. for this court, judges get wide leeway, so long as it favors neither side. this particular judge has the defendant pick random cards from a hat, guaranteeing before everyone in the court that absent some malicious sleight of hand, the persons designated as true alternates were not selected to favor either party. yet this was somehow considered illicit behavior by the left.

Which is why they should all be recorded, like body cams.
