MILWAUKEE -- Prosecutors have charged a 17-year-old Illinois teen accused of shooting three people during a protest in southeastern Wisconsin this summer with violating curfew that night.

Kyle Rittenhouse was charged in August with multiple counts, including reckless and intentional homicide, endangerment and being a minor in possession of a firearm. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that prosecutors added violating curfew the night of the shootings to the list of charges on Monday. The offense is a civil citation punishable by forfeiture.

Probably wouldn’t be allowed as prejudicial evidence, which I have never quite understood.

[Kevmo]

Charge him federally then pardon him. Simple.

[Jonty30]

That would only remove federal charges. States, being different districts, can charge him separately.

[Kevmo]

See post 58.

It addresses your question.

[Kevmo]

Of course they can. But they’ll luze. Harshly.

Reference the Rodney King case. Retried in federal court. Those guys take constitutional rights seriously.

[gunnut]

I wonder if there is another charge that they have that has to have been committed while breaking another law. For example, if he possessed a weapon while committing another crime and they need another crime. It would be thin but maybe?

[Glide Plane]

So does that mean they are going to prosecute all the protestors since they were also in violation of the curfew?

[Kevmo]

+1

[Kevmo]

Of course not. This is an attempted railroading.

I hope Kyle beats the charges and immediately runs for Mayor.

He’ll clean up the town.

The idiotic prosecutor is jumping the shark. The jackbooted prosecutor should be honest and charge him for being white and patriotic and be done with the fakery.

[wildcard_redneck]

President Trump should have the Secret Service grab him and then fly with him on Air Force One to Brazil and install him as the American ambassador to Brazil.

[Lurker]

Actually it isn’t difficult. SCOTUS has already ruled that Double Jeopardy does not apply in such situations.

Try a little research, Duh.

L

[al baby]

Trump needs to award him. The Presidential Medal of Freedom

[Kevmo]

Ok, let’s do a little research. Duhh.

When was the last time anyone lost to federal charges but beat the local charges?

[gundog]

The others were out after curfew, as well. Setting fires, trying to incapitate Kyle...

[mabarker1]

Next will be Jaywalking !

[Pocketdoor]

“Throw in loitering for a trifecta.”

.... and Jaywalking for the box bet.

[Altura Ct.]

Did he litter too?

[taxesareforever]

So, how many of the protestors are being charged for being out after curfew? I assume none.

So, how many of the protestors are being charged for being out after curfew? I assume none.

One article says 150 people were charged with curfew violations.

It does not say how many, on what day.
