Kyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois teen charged with killing two people during a protest in Kenosha last summer, will not go on trial until Nov. 1, CBS News reported.
The teen, who has remained free on $2 million bond despite prosecution allegations that he had violated the terms of his release, was originally set to go on trial on March 29, according to prosecutors. There are a number of outstanding issues with discovery, DNA testing, and some other issues that need to be taken care of. There are also some logistics with regards to the eventual jury that need to be hammered out, Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger said Thursday.
Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder denied the motion to rearrest Kyle Rittenhouse, who is charged in the fatal shooting of two protesters and injuring another.
"There are so many appropriate ways to take care of the circumstances in the Rittenhouse case that don't involve telling the judge lies," one expert said.
