An Illinois judge ruled Friday that a teenager accused of fatally shooting two people and wounding a third in August during a night of unrest in Kenosha, Wis., should be extradited to the Wisconsin city to face homicide charges.
Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, of Antioch, Ill., was in a courtroom hours earlier for a Friday morning court hearing unshackled, wearing a blue button-down shirt, a dark tie and a face mask.
Defense lawyers indicated before the hearing in Waukegan that they would call witnesses, including Rittenhouse’s mother, Wendy Rittenhouse, to try to block his extradition. But they didn't, instead focusing on the legalities of the case.

It’s a government lynch mob in Kenosha. He should be exhonerated.
So it’s OK to attack someone from behind with a skateboard but no to defend yourself from that attack.
Go ahead Wisconsin...try him in absentia and we’ll see whether or not this is just politics. We all know it was self defense.
Its notvwisconsin
Its Evers and crew
By extension Soros
How can they try him in IL? The shootings occurred in WI.
Well from what I’ve seen it seems clear he was not out there to harm anyone. He was out there with a first aid kit. And I understand he has his 2nd Amendment rights but don’t see the wisdom of going into the middle of a mob riot with a rifle, or any projectile weapon exposed to the mob. Like Johnny Cash sang “don’t take your guns to town, son”.
Sorry, I mis-read the story. They are going to send him to WI.
The IL court is not trying him, the court ruled he can be extradited to WI for trial.
He’s being held in IL on a WI warrant. IL judge agreed to send hi to WI.
Typical government bait and switch on rules. ABsolutely unconstitutional
THey can do it to anyone anytime anyday. it is the COvid bull sht
THey do it by allowing braces for ARs and bumpfire devices, and then they switch to hurt
FAcebook and twitter do the same bait and switch on speech too.
We are headed for dark days. All these hate crime laws are also bait and switch. We are becoming like France and these so called conservative judges at the SUpreme court are either asleep at the wheel or cmompletely mentaly corrupt like this Roberts Judge who got his homosexual flaterry degree in a cereal box.
This situation is proof how criminal, leftist democrats use government to control and punish it enemies. No one can ever wonder why the Nazis or the Soviets came to and kept power for so long. It is happening right here...right now.

You need to read more about what he was doing before, during and after. Not what you read in the newspaper. Read his statement.
Extradition is governed by the Constitution and federal law. 18 United States Code 3182 outlines the process.
An executive authority demand of the jurisdiction to which a person that is a fugitive from justice has fled.
The requesting executive must also produce a copy of an indictment found or an affidavit made before a magistrate of any state or territory. The document must charge the fugitive demanded with having committed treason, felony, or other crime, and it must be certified as authentic by the governor or chief magistrate of the state or territory from where the person so charged has fled.
The executive receiving the request must then cause the fugitive to be arrested and secure and to notify the requesting executive authority or agent to receive the fugitive.
An agent of the executive of the state demanding extradition must appear to receive the prisoner, which must occur within 30 days from time of arrest, or the prisoner may be released. Some states allow longer waiting periods, of up to 90 days.
About the only way you can fight extradition is to prove to the court in the “receiving” state that you were not in the “requesting” state at the time the alleged crime was committed. That cannot be disputed. There is video, as well as statements of his counsel explaining what happened.
Now please understand, I am on Kyle’s side big time, but the fight is in Wisconsin not Illinois. Fighting extradition is just a formality in cases like this. In my 35 years as a lawyer, I have never seen or been involved in an extradition case that was won by the defendant.

F*ckn commies.
Hi.
Thanks for your legal opinion.
Mr. Wood will probably ask for a change of venue out of Kenosha. Also, motions can be filed to the Federal district court in GB regarding Rittenhouse’s civil rights (1st and 2nd amendments).
This has a long way to go.

I’m guessing you don’t see the wisdom in too many things.
No need to be snarky. There’s a reason the Red Cross doesn’t go into war zones heavily armed. If you want to go render aid in the middle of any particular conflict, don’t make yourself a target by flashing your weapons. One guy with a rifle vs 100s or 1000s of crazed rioters looking for any excuse, sorry FRiend, not wise.
