Following his acquittal, Rittenhouse publicly stated that he had planned to attend ASU to lead “a quiet life” on campus. 

Students protested the teen’s acceptance to the university, calling for the school to withdraw his enrollment. Rittenhouse received a compassionate withdrawal but says he’s back at the university.

“I’m taking classes starting in March online. So I was able to re-enroll,” he said on Owens’ talk show Candace, which is published by The Daily Wire.

“I had to talk to a couple of people, like directors there. But I deserve an education and I’m able to get that education and hopefully pursue a career in law.”

Previously, Rittenhouse had considered a possible career in nursing.

When asked about what he’s been up to, Rittenhouse stated that he’s been taking pilot classes and hopes to become a private pilot.

“I’ve logged my first flying hours and I absolutely love it.”

He added that he’s also been snowboarding a lot as well. “Just doing stuff that’s fun and living my life.

WANTS GUN GIVEN BACK

Recently, Rittenhouse has made the news after requesting that his AR-15-style rifle used in the Kenosha protests be given back to him.

The teen’s lawyer Mark Richards filed the papers asking for the gun back so it can be destroyed.

“It was something I used to defend myself and it was a very traumatic night. I don’t think it’s something that needs to be celebrated, so I think the best place for it is to get destroyed.”

The family’s spokesperson David Hancock added that the weapon “doesn’t belong on a mantle. It doesn’t belong in a museum.”

Hancock said the weapon belongs where Rittenhouse wants it “and Kyle wants it destroyed.”

OTHER LAWSUITS

Rittenhouse has received criticism about his actions during the trial, most notably when he broke down in tears during his testimony. 

NBA star LeBron James claimed the teen had “fake tears.”

“What tears?????” the Lakers star tweeted on November 10.

“I didn’t see one. Man, knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court,” the four-time champion claimed.

Owens had commented on the criticism: “It feels like Justice part A – Kyle is found not guilty. Is there a justice part B here? Are you going to allow all these celebrities to have gotten away with that?”

Rittenhouse didn’t go into specifics but said: “There is going to be some accountability.”
