KENOSHA — Attorneys for Kyle Rittenhouse have repeatedly said that the 17-year-old from Illinois, while cleaning in Kenosha early in the day on Aug. 25, met a business owner who invited Rittenhouse and others to help protect property that night. But the attorneys have not identified who it was that they say asked Rittenhouse to stand guard that night.
