and making a “white power” hand gesture in a Wisconsin bar. The teen has become a darling of the far-right, with numerous Republicans boisterously cheering the jury’s rendering of “not guilty” verdicts.
According to his lawyer, Mark Richards, Rittenhouse paid for his defense attorneys and expert witnesses through crowdfunding. “I did not approve of that,”Richards went on to explain that people who were helping Rittenhouse and his family raise funds also insisted on giving access to Carlson’s documentary crew. “The people who were raising the money to pay for the experts and to pay for the attorneys were trying to raise money.
