Rittenhouse shot the men during a protest in Kenosha in August 2020, killing two of them.

A jury last year acquitted him of multiple charges, including homicide.

Rittenhouse has filed a motion asking prosecutors to return the rifle and other property investigators seized from him.

A spokesman said Rittenhouse wants to destroy all of it so nothing can be used as a political symbol.

Judge Bruce Schroeder is scheduled to hear arguments on the motion during a hearing Friday morning in Kenosha County circuit court.
