Judge: No new warrant in Rittenhouse case
MADISON — A judge on Thursday refused prosecutors’ request to issue a new arrest warrant for an 18-year-old from Illinois accused of killing two people during a police brutality protest in Wisconsin last summer.
Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger alleged that Kyle Rittenhouse failed to update his address when he moved out of his Antioch apartment in November, amounting to a bail violation. Binger also asked Judge Bruce Schroeder to increase Rittenhouse’s bail by $200,000.
Rittenhouse’s attorneys countered that Rittenhouse is in hiding due to threats. Schroeder refused both requests.
