MILWAUKEE -- The man who bought Kyle Rittenhouse an assault-style rifle when he was only 17 has agreed to plead no contest to contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a non-criminal citation, and avoid convictions on the two felonies he'd been facing.

Dominick Black was charged with delivering a dangerous weapon to a minor, resulting in death.

Summary

The two counts related to Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, the protesters Rittenhouse fatally shot the night of Aug. 25, 2020, in Kenosha.Black was 18 when he purchased the rifle for Rittenhouse at a hardware store in Rusk County in May of that year.
At 17, Rittenhouse was too young to legally purchase the weapon.In August 2020, Rittenhouse used the rifle to kill two people and wound a third during protests in Kenosha.
The defense convinced Schroeder that an exception in the law allows 17-year-olds to possess rifles and shotguns, or at least left the law too vague to be enforceable.On Friday, Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger filed a proposed plea agreement.
It suggested Black would plead no contest to a pair of citations, and pay a $2,000 fine, and the felony counts would be dismissed.A hearing is scheduled Monday morning.
Schroeder could reject the deal, or dismiss the original felony counts based on his ruling about the minors-with-firearms law in the Rittenhouse case.
