According to Kyle Rittenhouse’s former bodyguard and spokesperson, he believes that if the jury had the information he has now, the 17-year-old might not have been acquitted for the killing of two individuals and the severe injury of another.
In an interview for a documentary delving into the events that unfolded on the fateful night in August 2020 on the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin, Dave Hancock expressed his belief that the revelations surrounding the case and Kyle would be nothing short of shocking. He described the forthcoming revelation as breathtaking.
During the trial, Hancock discovered that Rittenhouse had reportedly used racial slurs in messages exchanged with his friends and seemed to be actively seeking an opportunity to employ a weapon.
“He had a history of engaging in certain activities before the incident in Kenosha. He would patrol the streets for months, armed with guns, and even borrow people’s security uniforms, all in an attempt to provoke a confrontation. At the time, I believed the things he told me, but now I realize that they were just one of his many lies. It’s painful to come to terms with this.”
According to Kyle Rittenhouse’s lawyer, Mark Richards, there is no evidence of racist messages on Kyle’s cellphone. Richards also mentioned that describing Dave Hancock as a disgruntled former employee, spokesperson, or fundraiser would be a significant understatement.
In hindsight, Hancock expresses remorse for publicly supporting Rittenhouse as his spokesperson.
Hancock expresses his willingness to collaborate with the lawyers who are handling the civil suit against Rittenhouse by the survivor and the families of the victims.
Richards commented that if Dave is indeed providing information to the Plaintiffs, it wouldn’t be surprising to her. She mentioned that Dave has been making threats to do so for a while now.
Additionally, Richards revealed that Dave had also demanded $40K from Kyle in exchange for returning the phone, as he believed Kyle owed him that amount. She concluded by stating that there is never a dull moment when it comes to Dave’s actions.
According to Law&Crime, Thomas Binger, the prosecutor in the Rittenhouse murder case, stated that he doesn’t remember coming across the purportedly racist messages. However, he acknowledged the possibility of variations in the technical methods employed to analyze Rittenhouse’s cellphone.
According to Binger, the operating system on his iPhone was too advanced for our brute force extraction software to penetrate.
According to Binger, the purported text messages could have strengthened my primary argument about Kyle’s mental state, indicating that he was actively seeking a reason to shoot individuals. These messages may have had a significant impact on the trial’s final verdict.
Rittenhouse did not directly address Hancock’s allegations. However, he had previously refuted claims of being a racist after videos surfaced of him socializing with members of the right-wing extremist group, the Proud Boys, at a bar in Wisconsin.
“I am not a white supremacist,” Rittenhouse clarified during the trial. He emphasized that the trial had proven his innocence, as he vehemently opposes white supremacy. Rittenhouse finds such ideology repulsive and filled with hate.
In the documentary, Rittenhouse stood by his decision to open fire on the three individuals.
“I had no other option but to surrender, as I found myself cornered with no escape route,” he expressed. “I want to emphasize that I am innocent and have done nothing wrong.”
“The Trials of Kyle Rittenhouse,” a gripping 90-minute documentary, will be aired on the Law&Crime Network this Friday, September 27th, at 9 p.m. ET.
