> How would be spend time in jail if found innocent of all charges?? <

Notice I said jail, not prison. I doubt if Rittenhouse will be given bail. From what I’ve read, one of the charges against him is first-degree murder. He won’t get bail on that.

So Rittenhouse will sit in jail for months and months until his trial starts.

Side rant: The Constitution guarantees you a speedy trial. The Supreme Court has ruled that “speedy” means within six months. How is that speedy? So an innocent person can sit in a jail cell for half a year until his trial comes up.

He's currently in a juvenile detention center. Probably segregated from others for the time being.

“So Rittenhouse will sit in jail for months and months until his trial starts.”

There is far more to the legal system than this. A grand jury hasn’t returned a bill have they?
