Kyle Rittenhouse said on Tuesday that he thanks God for making sure "justice was done" during his murder trial last fall.

Rittenhouse spoke to conservative commentator Candace Owens about how he believes God helped him through his contentious November trial, in which he was acquitted of all charges for the shooting of three men who attacked him during the Black Lives Matter riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the summer of 2020. Two of the men were killed by the gunfire.

“God has been with me from the beginning,” Rittenhouse told Owens. “My connection with God has grown way stronger. I pray to him every day.”

“He’s helped me through so much, and he’s helped open the doors and guide me in the right direction," the teenager continued. “He helped the jury and guiding them in the right direction to make sure justice was done."

Rittenhouse said he plans to attend Arizona State University in the spring, despite calls from left-wing youth to have him expelled from the school. He said he is interested in pursuing a career in law following his experience in the legal system.

“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.”

The teenager's trial stirred massive national controversy, which was exacerbated when news organizations falsely reported that he had actively gunned down three black men during the Kenosha riots. The men who Rittenhouse shot in self-defense were white.
