Bail set at $2m for Rittenhouse in Kenosha shootings

A court commissioner has set cash bail for an Illinois 17-year-old accused of killing two people during a protest in Wisconsin at $2 million. Kyle Rittenhosue, of Antioch, Illinois, faces multiple charges in the shootings in Kenosha in August. Rittenhouse made his initial court appearance in Kenosha on Monday. His attorney, Mark Richards, asked that bail be set at $750,000 and that Rittenhouse be on electronic monitoring. Prosecutors asked for $2 million. The father of one of the men who was killed demanded $4 million bail, saying Rittenhouse thinks he’s above the law. Keating ultimately sided with prosecutors, noting the charges are serious and calling Rittenhouse a flight risk.
