If you read my timeline you know how I feel about Kyle Rittenhouse, so please believe me when I tell you it does not matter legally that he "crossed state lines."
I represent people who live in other jurisdictions and are charged with crimes in NYC all the time, including serious felonies. It does not matter.
This is a state case.
Crossing state lines is one basis under which federal prosecutors get jurisdiction, but its limited to certain cases - like sex trafficking or conspiracy - it doesn't just mean you live in one state and go to another to commit a crime.

It also doesn't make this case worse. Why is it more terrible to live in one state and go to another than to do this in the state in which you live. Either way it's horrific.
