Kyle Rittenhouse has said he wants to become a lawyer after being acquitted by a Wisconsin jury in his homicide trial. The 18-year-old from Illinois told Blaze TV podcast <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R9woSO6y_o" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You Are Here</a> about his career plans in an interview on Monday. Last month, Rittenhouse was found <a href="https://vt.co/news/us/kyle-rittenhouse-found-not-guilty-after-fatal-kenosha-shootings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not guilty on all counts</a> after he fatally shot two men and injured a third at a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. During his three-week trial, the teenager pleaded not guilty to first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, first-degree attempted intentional homicide, and two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment. [[youtubewidget||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R9woSO6y_o]] He told Blaze TV hosts Elijah Schaffer and Sydney Watson that his experience in the courtroom had left him feeling inspired. "I want to be a lawyer. I want to go to law school," said the teenager. Rittenhouse went on to say that it was his experience with his prosecutors that left him most eager to pursue a legal career. "Towards the end of [the] trial, I’m like, 'I want to go against corrupt piece of s*** prosecutors like Thomas Binger.' And put them in their place and make sure they never practice law again," he added. <img class="wp-image-1263135245 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/11/RittenhouseFI1.jpg" alt="Rittenhouse" width="1535" height="800" />[[imagecaption|| Rittenhouse in court.

He clashed with Judge Bruce Schroeder a number of times during proceedings, where repeated missteps by prosecutors prompted defense lawyers to twice request a mistrial. However, the trial continued as planned, with jurors reaching a verdict on November 19 after around 27 hours of deliberations. Elsewhere in his interview with Schaffer and Watson, <a href="https://vt.co/news/kyle-rittenhouse-says-fk-you-to-lebron-james-after-nba-stars-tweet-about-trial" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rittenhouse slammed sports star LeBron James</a> for suggesting that his tears were fake. James retweeted a video of the teen crying in court with the caption: "What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court."

I was really pi**ed off when he said that, because I liked LeBron and then I'm like, you know what f**k you LeBron." <h6>Featured Image Credit: REUTERS / Alamy</h6>
