But the bottom line is, his parents will either go bankrupt paying a good lawyer who will get him acquited of Murder 1, or he’ll get a public defender, who will railroad him into a plea deal.

You're not keeping up. Rittenhouse already has prestigious legal defense lined up, pro bono. The legal defense fund has already collected several $100k in donations. They already put a halt to the specious extradition proceedings, and probably get him bail on the grounds that he was not fleeing and tried to turn himself in to the Wisconsin police at the time of the incident and they told him to "go home", whereupon he then went to his nearby home town in Illinois and found some police to surrender to. So the extradition based on "flight" is a false predicate. Likely the prosecutors will have to start over, and now there is more publicly available evidence Rittenhouse was being pursued by violent lawless types, (Rosenbaum, the first guy shot was an actual felon ex-convict with an active warrant), and the witness told the police the he was trying to get Rittenhouse and also the original complaint presented by the police didn't incorporate the fact that the surviving "victim" told his friend he was trying to kill Rittenhouse at the time Rittenhouse defended himself.

So he crossed state lines with a gun to do what? Restore “order”? Now it’s a federal matter. If I were his father, he’d most definitely be grounded. But I’m glad for him that he’s now got a lawyer and a source of payment for same.
