Kyle Rittenhouse has been extradited and is currently held in jail in Kenosha, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
Over defense protest, Rittenhouse has been transferred to face homicide charges. The defense’s filing alleged flaws with the extradition paperwork, and further alleged that his transfer to Kenosha in the high-profile case would \u201cturn him over to the mob\u201d and violate the teen\u2019s constitutional rights.<\/p>\n
The attorneys are using the occasion to detail the teen\u2019s narrative of the incident. The filing presents the most detailed argument yet that Rittenhouse\u2019s arrival on the streets was an act of patriotism, and that the shots he fired were all acts of self-defense.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe nights of August 23 and 24 made clear that the state and local government could not (or would not) contain the insurrection,\u201d the teen\u2019s attorneys wrote.<\/p>\n

After extradition, Rittenhouse heldin jail in Kenosha<\/strong><\/em> Lake County authorities on Friday afternoon handed off Kyle Rittenhouse to police in Wisconsin, where he faces charges stemming from the fatal shooting of two men and the wounding of a third during August protests in Kenosha, officials said.<\/p>\n Shortly after a judge ruled the Antioch 17-year-old should be extradited, Lake County sheriff\u2019s deputies drove him to the border and passed him to deputies from the Kenosha County sheriff\u2019s department, said Sgt. Christopher Covelli, of the Lake County sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n Rittenhouse \u2014 who is charged with murder and several other counts \u2014 was booked into the jail in Kenosha shortly after that, said Sgt. David Wright of the Kenosha County sheriff\u2019s department. Rittenhouse\u2019s lawyers had voiced concerns for his safety in an adult lockup, but Wright said the teen would be held in a cell for juvenile detainees at the facility.<\/p>\n Rittenhouse\u2019s bond in Wisconsin previously had been set at $2 million, court records show. It was unclear whether there were plans to bail the teen out, and his lawyer, John M. Pierce, could not be reached for comment Friday night. Wisconsin court records did not indicate when the teen might first appear in court there.<\/p>\n Lake County Judge Paul Novak\u2019s order to extradite the teen came a few hours after he presided over a morning hearing on the issue. Unlike prior hearings in Rittenhouse\u2019s extradition case that were conducted online, the judge held this one in person.<\/p>\n Rittenhouse sat flanked by several police officers a few feet from his mother, Wendy Rittenhouse, in a courtroom where journalists and spectators were kept several feet apart because of the coronavirus pandemic. The teen, who did not speak audibly, wore a light blue dress shirt, dark tie and a mask over his nose and mouth.<\/p>\n Kenosha County prosecutors have charged Rittenhouse with shooting three men with an AR-15-style rifle Aug. 25 during protests over white police Officer Rusten Sheskey\u2019s shooting of 29-year-old Jacob Blake, a Black man, days earlier.<\/p>\n Video from the scene of the protests showed Rittenhouse apparently trying to surrender to police in Kenosha after the shootings, but they didn\u2019t arrest him. He was arrested the next day in Lake County and has been held without bail in the juvenile facility for two months.<\/p>\n Extradition proceedings typically are technical matters that don\u2019t focus on the substance of the alleged crimes, but Rittenhouse\u2019s lawyers have tried to block his transfer by arguing he fired in self-defense and is the target of a political prosecution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The video is pretty clear- Rittenhouse fired into a pursuing mob. This fact, while interesting, is not relevant, at least to the prosecution. Read the rest of the article here: Chicago Tribune Digital Edition<\/a>
