KENOSHA, Wis.— Kyle Rittenhouse's defense attorney, Mark Richards, filed a motion to dismiss two charges against him. The motion was filed Dec. 1.

Rittenhouse, the Illinois teenager accused of shooting three, and killing two, Kenosha protesters this past August, faces six criminal counts, five felonies and one misdemeanor. 

If Rittenhouse is convicted, he will face life in prison. 

His lawyer is trying to get a charge of "recklessly endangering safety" dismissed, as well as another of "possession of a deadly weapon by a minor."

Richards claims, in the court file, that count two, which is one of multiple reckless endangerment of safety charges in the first degree, that "no reasonable person could find that this crime was ever committed. Thus, the criminal complaint is defective and Count 2 should be dismissed."

Richard says that count six, which is the charge of possession of a deadly weapon by a minor should also be dismissed because, "the complaint fails to allege facts which could allow a reasonable person to conclude that a crime was committed."

A pre-trial for Rittenhouse is set to take place at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 3. He is expected to appear before a Kenosha county judge virtually.
