The man who survived being shot by Kyle Rittenhouse filed a secret petition to change his legal name after his past as a violent career criminal was exposed.
Gaige Grosskreutz, 29, has called for an investigation by the Milwaukee County Clerk of Circuit Court on how the sealed petition was leaked to a conservative news outlet this week.
Grosskreutz, of West Allis, said he has received death threats in the two years since he was shot in the arm during the protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
The August 2020 protests famously left Anthony Huber and Joseph Rosenbaum dead at the hands of Rittenhouse. But last year, Rittenhouse was cleared of murdering the men after jurors decided he'd acted in self-defense.
Grosskreutz added he was seeking the name change to protect him and his family, although his proposed new moniker was not revealed.
He is a violent convicted felon who admitted lying during the Rittenhouse trial, and who has now moaned about 'right wing media' outlets who exposed his planned subterfuge.
'But the real story here isn't that I am seeking to change my name, but that a process that is supposed to protect and shield those in danger was undermined and sealed information was released to the right wing media within hours of my filing,' he said in a statement.
Grosskreutz garnered controversy across the nation when his key testimony against Rittenhouse was scrutinized as it was revealed he lied to police about being armed during his standoff in Kenosha.
He claimed to have been a 'paramedic' on the evening of the August 2020 killings, although Grosskreutz has a slew of prior convictions for violent behavior

The man withdrew from the race-—Obama swept into office-—and and and....
One sentence from the article, “Grosskreutz has since had his felony charge expunged.”
I’m unclear if this was one charge or his whole record? This guy should have been the one on trial!
Tell me again why this butthead isn’t being prosecuted for the gun he wasn’t supposed to have?
Will it change who he is?
His new name will be Benjamin Dover.

Grosskreutz‘s cross exam is comedy gold!
Grosskreutz means Big Cross.
Some might say it means “double cross”.
He’s getting some of the blame for the case ending with no conviction.
I believe Captain Hook is already taken.

Also, attempted murder since he admitted in court his intent to shoot Kyle before Kyle shot him.
Then, after he's convicted and sent prison, he can change his name to Alice.
Is this guy who was caught a day or two earlier taking photos in the police parking lot of their PVs license plates?
Because he is willing to take a dare?
I thought it was Richard Cranium
