“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?

Very true about the legal system. It’s a maze of procedures. In my neck of the woods, a grand jury isn’t necessary to charge someone with a felony. A DA will use it only if he wants some sort of political cover.
I looked it up. Like many states, Wisconsin rarely uses grand juries. And I find that interesting. The Fifth Amendment requires a grand jury! Maybe some FR lawyer can explain how that all works.
