Lastly, Black's felony charges under WI s.948.60 (2)(c) were effectively voided by two facts. The first is that the person under 18 was not unlawfully in possession of the dangerous weapon, as ruled at Rittenhouse's trial, and second, the deaths caused were also judged to be lawful.
There wasn't any evidence to suggest that this was a federal straw purchase either. Black's declaration that he was the actual buyer / transferee when he filled out the 4473 at purchase was never false, as he always was the transferee. He never transferred the gun to Rittenhouse, or anyone else.
Black was never charged under Wisconsin's "Straw purchasing of firearms" statute WI s.941.2905. The reason for that is because it is only a Class G felony if the person furnishes, possess or purchases a firearm for somebody knowing that they are prohibited from possessing one under s.941.29 (1m)
Dominick Black was never charged with anything in connection with the purchase of the rifle, which was purchased in Ladysmith, WI, on May 1st 2020. He was charged that he did "intentionally give a dangerous weapon to a person under 18, causing death" on Aug 25th 2020, the day of the shootings.
He plead to a civil infraction & paid a fine, essentially an expensive parking ticket. All the criminal charges were dropped. Binger wanted to save face by getting something, and Black wanted his bail money back & to not pay additional legal bills by going to trial.
The ABC article is also inaccurate. The charges Black faced weren't about the purchase of the gun, they were about loaning the gun to a prohibited possessor on the day of the shootings. The prosecutor's case fell apart once the judge ruled Rittenhouse legally possessed the gun.
