Kyle Rittenhouse retains new lawyer ahead of murder trial
Also on Friday, Rittenhouse retained Corey Chirafisi, a defense attorney based in Madison to serve as co-counsel, attorney Mark Richards, who was already representing Rittenhouse, said.
"The government has two, and we wanted it to be fair," Richards told NBC News on Friday.
Richards and Chirafisi and attorneys for the prosecution discussed pretrial deadlines for jury questionnaires and disclosure of defense witnesses during Friday's pretrial hearing.
Rittenhouse is due to be back in court on Sept. 17. A trial date is still set for Nov. 1, and is expected to last about two weeks.
