Kyle Rittenhouse Insists He's Going To Arizona State University To Study Nursing After College Claims He Hasn't Been Accepted Yet

Kyle Rittenhouse is doubling down on his claims that he's attending Arizona State University now that he's a free man, and Twitter is lighting up with responses after the college released a statement saying he hasn't been accepted yet.
The 18-year-old was found not guilty on Friday after shooting three black lives matter protesters, killing two of them, last year with his AR-15 rifle. After an intense two-week trial, the 12-person jury let him walk out of the Kenosha courtroom as a free man.
While Rittenhouse has yet to address the press, his rep didn't wait around. Immediately following the not guilty decision, his spokesperson, David Hancock, gave insight as to what is next for the teen. Rittenhouse is reportedly looking forward to "living a normal life," and that includes college.
Which one you might ask? ASU to study nursing.
This mirrors what Rittenhouse said on the stand last week. Under oath, he identified himself as a college student at ASU. He also claimed he was studying nursing.
However, that's not quite accurate, according to the university spokesperson, Jay Thorne.
