Prosecutors do not know where Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse is and want to arrest him again
Prosecutors in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Wednesday sought a new arrest warrant for Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager accused of killing two people during a protest rally on August 25 against police shooting at Jacob Blake, a black man who now paralyzed from below. Prosecutors said Rittenhouse violated the terms of his $ 2 million mortgage by moving without notifying the court or providing his new address. After a court case sent to Rittenhouse was returned as undeliverable on January 28, Kenosha detectives visited Rittenhouse’s listed address and discovered that another man had been living there since mid-December, prosecutors explained. It is “extremely unusual for an accused to stand trial on a charge of first-degree murder in Kenosha County for placing a cash payment and being released pending trial,” prosecutors said in their motion. “Rarely do accused murderers rarely walk around.” Together with Rittenhouse’s arrest, they asked the court to increase his mortgage by $ 200,000, noting that Rittenhouse has no financial interest in the mortgage and that he has no incentive to cooperate, as his $ 2 million mortgage was paid out of a “dubious internet fundraising campaign. because” he is facing the most serious charges possible and life imprisonment. “Rittenhouse’s lawyer, Mark Richards, replied on Wednesday night that his client was in an unknown ‘safe house’ due to death threats and ‘kept in constant touch’ with his lawyers, if not the courts, he said he offered to provide prosecutors with the new address if they kept it a secret, and they did not want to. Rittenhouse, now 18 , accused of fatally shooting Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, wounding a third man, saying he shot in self-defense, prosecutors said last month. to change the terms of his bail after video footage of him drinking with a group of Proud Boys at a bar in Wisconsin and flashing signs with white power. It’s legal for 18-year-olds to drink in pubs in Wisconsin if a parent is present, and Rittenhouse’s mother was apparently in the bar with him.
