Kyle Rittenhouse testified before North Dakota's Senate, asking lawmakers to enact 'Kyle's Law.' 'If this bill had been in effect when I was forced to defend myself, it might have prompted the DA to stop and consider the facts,' Rittenhouse testified.
Kyle Rittenhouse testified before the North Dakota state Senate Tuesday, appealing to lawmakers to enact a bill dubbed"Kyle's Law."
Rittenhouse was tried and acquitted for fatally shooting two men and wounding a third during civil unrest in 2020. Under the proposal, the state will reimburse qualifying defendants who were successfully acquitted via a self-defense justification for"all reasonable costs incurred in defense, including loss of wages and time, attorney's fees, and other expenses involved in the defense."
Republicans possess a supermajority in both chambers of the North Dakota legislature, and Gov. Doug Burgum controls the governor's mansion. Similar measures have been floated in other states, such as Tennessee, but in that state, the proposal was eventually withdrawn.
