Instead, it appears that, on the recommendation of an anonymous Kenosha police captain, teen murderer Kyle Rittenhouse and his legal team has been deliberately deceiving the court as to his whereabouts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Obviously, this from my perspective as a non-lawyer, but this appears to be a BIG<\/b> no-no for someone who is out on bail:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n

Prosecutors apparently couldn\u2019t find<\/a> admitted Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse, so now they are seeking a warrant for his arrest. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Kenosha County District Attorney\u2019s office said Rittenhouse had violated the conditions of his release. Prosecutors said they need a new arrest warrant specifically because Rittenhouse failed to inform the court after changing his address. The defense, however, responded by saying they intentionally concealed Rittenhouse\u2019s true whereabouts because a local police captain instructed them to lie about where he was staying.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the conditions of his bond, Rittenhouse was supposed to relay such a change within 48 hours of moving. The motion asks Judge Bruce E. Schroeder to issue a new arrest warrant and increase Rittenhouse\u2019s bail by $200,000.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Illinois teenager was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, attempted homicide, and two additional felonies over the admitted shooting deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber. Rittenhouse also severely wounded Gaige Grosskreutz with a rifle carried across state lines. He further faces one misdemeanor charge of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under the age of 18. Rittenhouse was 17 at the time of the August shooting and is now 18.<\/span><\/p>\n

In sum, the defense says it intentionally<\/i> wrote the wrong address on the release papers after being advised to do so by local law enforcement. This, the defense claims, was to protect the location of a \u201csafe house\u201d for Rittenhouse.<\/p>\n

The motion notes [emphasis in original]: \u201cPierce was directly informed by a high-ranking member of the Kenosha Police Department not to provide the address of the Rittenhouse Safe House because of the numerous threats made against Kyle and his family.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I was completing this form, I was approached by a Kenosha Police Department Captain, who offered his assistance,\u201d Pierce continued [emphasis in original]. \u201cI asked the Kenosha Police Captain what address to put on the form. The Kenosha Police Captain told me that I \u2018absolutely should not<\/i>\u2018 provide the address of the physical location of the Rittenhouse Safe House on the form, but to instead provide his home address in Antioch, Illinois.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
