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.

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.

Following his testimony, ASU confirmed Rittenhouse was part of their online non-degree-seeking program. Thorne later clarified, “Kyle Rittenhouse has not gone through the admissions process with Arizona State University and is not enrolled in the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation."

Thorne said that simply means has has "access to begin taking classes" while he prepares "to seek admission into a degree program at the university."
