Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse has retained a new attorney in his double homicide case, according to Kenosha County Circuit Court records seen by Insider.

Rittenhouse, 18, retained attorney Corey Chirafisi, of the Madison, Wisconsin-based firm Chirafisi & Verhoff, S.C., on Friday, just before a pre-trial hearing.

Chirafisi is listed alongside Rittenhouse's other attorney, Mark Richards, in court records. He was hired two months after Rittenhouse fired his former lawyer, John Pierce.

Rittenhouse has been charged in the fatal shooting of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz during a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year.

1. Send this dude to jail where he can guard the trumps and friends

[yonder]

2. I thought KR's whereabouts were unknown,

that he slipped his tether?? Apparently not.

[sjdnb]

3. Not exactly the firm's specialty

https://www.cvlawoffice.com/
OWI & related, Drug, Sexual Assault, Student/Juvenile listed.

19. It's the latter specialty that is applicable.

They're going to play up his youth to get him a lighter sentence. But both him and his mom need to go to prison.

[raging moderate]

4. "wounding" ??? That kid MAIMED Gaige Grosskreutz!

That poor guy's life will be a constant struggle from now on!

[LiberalFighter]

5. He is beyond redemption.

[Cryptoad]

6. The MAGA Warriors say,,,

even if he is convicted, when becomes Prez again in 2024, he will pardon him and bring him to the Whitehouse to receive the medal of Freedom,,,,,,,O!

[ProfessorGAC]

9. I Thought This Was A State Charge

He might do the rest, but he can't pardon state convictions.
The judge of the case keeps being referred to as a "Wisconsin judge".
That's why I'm thinking this is state, not federal.

[Cryptoad]

13. I guess they figure,,,

when he gets back in teh Whitehouse,----- Local, State,,,,State, Local,,,,,, same same.

[Progressive Jones]

18. He faces State charges. Not sure if the Feds have gotten involved. nt

[Warpy]

7. Let's hope he comes highly recommended by the last administration

I'd love to see that murderous punk get the legal representation he deserves.

[maxsolomon]

8. I'd love to know the reasoning behind these changes.

Fired 1, hired another, hired yet another. Why?

Are the new ones wingnut lawyers, or real defend-you-from-murder-charges lawyers?

I'm hoping charges are pending for the straw purchaser of the MSSA. Neither of them should be allowed near a firearm ever again.

All because Rosenbaum chucked a can of tuna at him? Pitiful.

12. My theory

Lawyers keep telling him the self-defense ploy won’t work when you put yourself into the situation he was in and when you’re walking around with an illegal gun. So, he’s trying to find a lawyer who can somehow either play up the jury’s sympathies or put a Trump supporter on the panel.

[maxsolomon]

15. Jury Nullification is a good bet.

Its how the Hokoanas walked away from the charges they were facing in Seattle (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/mistrial-declared-in-trial-of-couple-accused-of-uw-assault-after-jury-cant-reach-a-verdict/), how the Bundys walked away for the Malheur NWR Occupation.

1 juror refuses; mistrial.

[ZonkerHarris]

17. Lawyers give an honest legal opinion like "take a plea deal" and the clients fire them.

[IcyPeas]

10. Lin Wood was his attorney? wha happened with that?

[bluestarone]

11. Another way to push trial date back

[JohnnyRingo]

14. That's how I read it.

Maybe he's hoping for a Trump pardon after he sweeps the country with MAGA Fever in 2024.
He doesn't have a chance for either, but the lawyers love it. Clearly, someone's wasting money on this jerk.

[Wild blueberry]

16. Bail should be revoked

Since he scampered some months ago.
AND he murdered two people and maimed one.

[pressbox69]

20. He needs

to go the same way the DC Madam and Jeffrey Epstein went.

[Marrah_Goodman]

21. They should fire every single cop who drove by him and did nothing
