A Wisconsin court on Thursday refused to drop two of the charges against Kenosha gunman Kyle Rittenhouse — clearing the way for the teenager’s upcoming murder trial.
Rittenhouse, 17, who is free on $2 million bond posted by supporters, faces intentional and reckless homicide charges in the Aug. 25 shooting death of two protesters and the wounding of a third during Black Lives Matter demonstrations in Kenosha.
The teen’s lawyer wanted two of the six charges — a misdemeanor gun charge and a felony count of reckless endangerment — to be dismissed, USA Today reported.
