Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old accused of shooting and killing two people and wounding another during protests last year, made his first in-person court appearance Friday morning in Kenosha, Wis.

The defense and prosecution said the November trial could take up to two weeks.

Friday was Rittenhouse's first in-person appearance as previous legal proceedings were held virtually due to the pandemic.

Rittenhouse faces multiple felony counts of reckless homicide and reckless endangerment, as well as a misdemeanor count of being a minor in possession of a firearm.

Attorneys have agreed to send questionnaires to potential jurors to quiz them on their beliefs ahead of selection.

A similar strategy was used in the high-profile trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murder in the death of George Floyd last month. In the Chauvin trial, a 13-page questionnaire was sent to the prospective jury pool asking about their political beliefs, knowledge of the case and other factors.

It’s sad that they a bunch of democrat jurists and a judge are going to throw the book at this kid for doing what ANYONE would want their child to do while being chased and beaten. I’m my opinion the only thing the world lost was a child molester and a woman beater.

The democrat party’s preferred weapon of war is currently lawfare and Kyle is living in the middle of the criminal democrat party’s campaign of terror which uses government to destroy their enemies.

Note that the corrupt authorities still haven’t arrested one of his attackers who threatened him with a handgun despite being a “prohibited person”.

And along of photographic proof of him being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. To wit} a pistol.

[lurk]

Speedy trial. Only 15 months after the incident.

I wish more people would keep pointing out the scum that were chasing him deserved what they got...

[GenXteacher]

A shame that he is on trial- some Vietnam vets don’t have as many communist KIA’s.

More pertinent will be information on the January 6,2021 murder of an unarmed veteran in the Washington PC compound .
