– A 17-year-old Illinois boy is accused of killing two people and wounding a third during protests in Wisconsin in August, but his lawyers say he acted in self-defense, Reuters reports. At a hearing in Lake County, Ill., on Friday, Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyers argued that he should be extradited to Wisconsin, where he was charged with two counts of first-degree homicide and five other criminal counts related to the shootings, which occurred during civil unrest sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse returned to his home in Antioch, Ill., after the shooting and was taken into custody soon after. At Friday’s hearing, the Lake County attorney attorney argued that Rittenhouse should be extradited to Wisconsin. Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree reckless homicide and five other criminal counts related to the shootings, which occurred on Aug. 25 in Kenosha, Wis., during civil unrest sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse returned to his home in Antioch, Ill., after that night and was soon taken into custody in Lake County. At Friday’s hearing, the judge said he would rule later on whether to extradite Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse’s lawyers did not call any witnesses at the hearing, despite indicating that they may elicit testimony from his mother and experts, including a lawyer who specializes in self-defense cases. In addition to arguing that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense, his lawyers have alleged technical errors in the paperwork behind their client’s paperwork.
