Attorneys for Kenosha shooting suspect Kyle Rittenhouse have filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus to stop his extradition from Illinois to Wisconsin, arguing that moving the teen would violate his constitutional rights and endanger his life. "People have threatened Rittenhouse’s life and offered bribes in exchange for information about his location in custody," the petition reads. "People have encouraged fellow inmates to kill Rittenhouse and have offered bounties." KENOSHA VIOLENCE: SUSPECT, 17, ARRESTED IN DEADLY SHOOTING AMID JACOB BLAKE UNREST, ILLINOIS POLICE SAY“Wisconsin has not satisfied its burden,” the lawyers argued. “Kenosha County Deputy District Attorney Carli McNeil, the complainant, swore to the affidavit on the complaint before Kenosha County Deputy District Attorney Angelina Gabriele — not a magistrate.”That would mean two prosecutors were involved in the process without judicial review.
