Judge Bruce Schroeder granted Pierce's request Monday, Pierce said. Online court records do not indicate that a hearing ever took place.

Rittenhouse, 17, who faces multiple charges for allegedly shooting two protesters dead, is due back in court on Dec. 3 for a preliminary hearing.

Kenosha County prosecutors have also charged Rittenhouse with wounding a third man, Gaige Grosskreutz.

Rittenhouse of Antioch, remains held in a juvenile detention centre in Lake County without bond due to pending criminal charges in Kenosha.

In court records filed late Thursday, Rittenhouse's attorneys argued that he was acting in self-defence and extraditing him to Wisconsin authorities would violate his constitutional rights.

Rittenhouse surrendered to police in his hometown of Antioch, Illinois, a day after prosecutors say he shot and killed two protesters and wounded a third on the streets of Kenosha on Aug. 25.

Wisconsin’s attorney general announced Monday that he has selected a former Madison police chief to serve as an independent consultant for prosecutors weighing whether to file charges against the officer who shot Jacob Blake, a Black man who was left paralyzed from the waist down.

In a video posted Saturday night on Twitter by his family’s lawyer, Ben Crump, Blake said from his hospital bed that, “Twenty-four hours, every 24 hours it’s pain, nothing but pain. It hurts to breathe, it hurts to sleep, it hurts to move from side-to-side, it hurts to eat.”

Trump distorted events in Kenosha, Wisconsin, over the past week and his own hand in them before a furor over his reported comments on fallen soldiers diverted his rhetoric.

Jacob Blake Sr. said the past two weeks have been ``surreal'' and ``like a dream'' and he's mentally worn out, adding he's been receiving death threats.
