To hear the defense say it, a high-ranking member of the Kenosha Police Department instructed former Rittenhouse lawyer John Pierce to provide the address of the Rittenhouse Safe House because of the numerous threats made against Kyle and his family. Pierce also supplied an affidavit making that claim. While I was completing this form, I was approached by a Kenosha Police Department Captain, who offered his assistance, Pierce continued [emphasis in original]. I asked the Kenosha Police Captain what address to put on the form. The Kenosha Police Captain told me that I absolutely should not provide the address of the physical location of the Rittenhouse Safe House on the form, but to instead provide his home address in Antioch, Illinois. The Kenosha Police claim that allegation simply isnt true. A Kenosha Police Captain did have a brief conversation with Mr. Pierce, regarding security concerns raised by Mr. Pierce, surrounding the Kyle Rittenhouse release from custody, Kenosha police said in a press release issued Thursday. The conversation did not include instructions about how to fill out paperwork. It is the responsibility of the defendant and his/her representation to complete bond paperwork completely and accurately, the department continued. It is the further responsibility of the defendant to comply with conditions of bond. Documents originally provided to Law&Crime by Richards did not contain the name of the police officer in question but later court documents filed by the defense identified the alleged culprit as one Captain Tim Schaal. The Kenosha Department took issue with that claim as well. On November 20, 2020 Tim Schaal was a Lieutenant, the department said. On November 20, 2020 Lieutenant Tim Schaal was on a regularly scheduled day off and had no contact with Mr. Pierce.
