The attorney of the fourth and latest suspect arrested in connection to the Cincinnati fight claims his client has schizophrenia.
Dominique Kittle, 37, was arrested on Aug. 1 and is facing charges of felonious assault and aggravated riot. During his arraignment the following day, Kittle’s attorney Caleb Baum told municipal court Judge Gwen Bender that he has paranoid schizophrenia and she should take into consideration the context of his situation.
“He was scared,” Baum explained. “He was an impressionable person that night. He’s charged with an M1 and everybody got charged with the F4.”
“Everybody that was involved,” Baum continued. “Except for the man that thrown the first punch and the man that said the ‘N word multiple times with Black people, which I find to be very…”
Baum was then cut off mid-sentence by Bender who accused him of “grandstanding,” the act of making exaggerated or theatrical statements or actions primarily to impress an audience rather than to genuinely advance their legal arguments or contribute to the court’s understanding of the case.
Bender set Kittle’s bond at a total of $150,000. He is currently being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
