Illinois defends plan to send teen to Wisconsin in 2 deaths

WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) — Any claims about what happened in Wisconsin have no role in whether to extradite an Illinois teenager to that state to face charges in the killing of two protesters, prosecutors said Thursday.

The state's attorney in Lake County, Illinois, filed a response to Kyle Rittenhouse's attorneys, who are trying to stop him from being transferred to Kenosha, Wisconsin, The Daily Herald reported. A court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 30.

Rittenhouse, 17, is accused of fatally shooting two protesters and injuring another on Aug. 25 during unrest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake, who is Black. Rittenhouse, who is white, surrendered to police in his hometown, Antioch, Illinois.

Rittenhouse's legal team is raising technicalities about typographical errors in documents, said prosecutors, who called it a “red herring.”

...in ST:TNG.
It's not the place of Illinois to interfere. It's strictly a state issue. Any resistance to extradition requires an interference with Wisconsin law. Their only option is to comply.
Conservadrones love states' rights. They should be applauding Illinois. They won't be, though.

Texas Justice? Code of the West? Trump Mafioso-style? Right Wing Death cult Wackadoolism?

It is astounding the way the cops treat the WI killer Kyle Rittenhouse vs Michael Reinoehl. Justice by assassination! What was ordered? By whom?! By the way these US Marshals killing Reinoehl, better lawyer up. You didn't know it was wrong!? you will find out what is meant by "everything Trump touches dies" including your career.
