A Wisconsin judge has refused to issue a new arrest warrant for Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old charged with killing two people in Kenosha, Wis., during protests last summer.

Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder also refused to increase Rittenhouse's bail.

Prosecutors had asked Schroeder last week to issue a new arrest warrant and raise Rittenhouse's bail by $200,000, arguing that he violated conditions of his bond. They say he did not inform the court of his change of address.

Attorneys for Rittenhouse say that their client withheld his new address because of threats to his safety.

The judge agreed to keep the new address sealed and available only to certain members of the court moving forward, over protests from prosecutors.

Why do the prosecutors care if it’s public?

I suspect that applicable law requires that the address of a person on conditional release be included in the public record. Technically, Rittenhouse's attorneys probably should have updated the information and moved that it be kept under seal, but failure to do so did not cause any harm.

Sounds like the judge behaved in an entirely-reasonable manner.

Because they’re hoping their liberal scumbag terrorist pals will show up to the address and commit violence against Kyle or whoever is there.

It's bullshite that charges were even filed. That motherfricker had dozens of people chasing him down. Some dude in that mob was even firing shots, forcing rittenhouse to think he was about to get shot in the back.

Does the state want to claim he should've retreated? He was running away. He fell down. Does the state believe he should've just taken a beating from a violent mob? I saw a skateboard being swung at his head. I saw a dude with a handgun targeting rittenhouse. If rittenhouse didn't die from that mob beating, at the very least his skull would've been cracked open from that skateboard.

This kind of bs from prosecutors is all too common. What can be taken care of by consent order all of a sudden becomes a motion, a response to said motion and either oral arguments or written briefs.

Why do we assume that the prosecutor was the problem here? We KNOW that the defense counsel CHOSE to withhold the change of address.

Are we just ASSUMING that the prosecutor would NOT have agreed to everything that you just outlined, if only the defense counsel had come to them and disclosed the change of address?

Yep, and if the judge isn’t fricking around, he can make someone’s life miserable over it.

Kyle’s people aren’t going to intentionally leak it so it would have to be from the prosecutor’s team or someone working for the court.

Well, judging by the original video, Kyle might need a few thousand more rounds of range time and coaching with his AR.... If he's had that instruction, I would say, Bring it on, filth. He could dispatch a lot of them while lawfully defending his life in his residence.

take a load of this bullshite internet counsel. they're going to give the kids new address to the prosecution who are out for his blood. Even the Judge can sniff this stupid arse prosecutor out.

How embarrassing is it that the judge is siding with the defense here when most of the time they would trust a prosecutor to do the right thing. I bet the prosecution is going to file another motion and make themselves look even dumber. Stupid.

I believe that it's ultimately the obligation of the defendant him or herself to keep the court apprised of address changes within 48 hours of said change, although an attorney would certainly be placing himself in danger of a malpractice claim if he advised his client to stand down because the attorney would handle it himself.....yet ultimately forgot or otherwise failed to do so. His client would be on the hook for penalty by the court regardless.

But what sticks out to me is the prosecutor's extreme use of his discretion in aggressively requesting such serious action for just a technical violation. Judge clearly found it excessive as well. And yes I do also believe it's a bit notable that the judge didn't only deny the prosecutor's aggressive request to the extent sought, but flat out declined to take any
lesser punitive action at all. Prosecutor sorta got dunked on there.
