A former spokesperson for Kenosha, Wisconsin shooter Kyle Rittenhouse accused him of hiding his true intentions in a new documentary examining his failed criminal prosecution.
In Aug. 2020, Rittenhouse claimed that he drove 20 miles from his native Antioch, Illinois, to Kenosha, Wisconsin, to help police restore order during the civil unrest that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake. However, Rittenhouse’s texts revealed more sinister intentions, and that reportedly blindsided spokesperson Dave Hancock.
“I believed things he told me that I now understand to be… lies,” said Dave Hancock in the 90-minute Trials of Kyle Rittenhouse documentary, reported The Guardian.
Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and was unsuccessfully tried for homicide in court for their deaths.
According to Hancock, Rittenhouse had “a history of things he was doing prior to [the double slaying], specifically patrolling the street for months with guns and borrowing people’s security uniforms, doing whatever he could to try to get into some kind of a fight.”
