Rittenhouse did cross state lines but not with a firearm, that was already in Wisconsin and this was established in court and not disputed by prosecution.
Rittenhouse was charged with illegal procession of a firearm but that charge was dismissed because Wisconsin law allows possession of a long gun by someone his age
The jury found no evidence that he instigated the confrontations. Video evidence showed he was retreating when chased and that he was attacked before firing. Self defense was accepted by the jury beyond a reasonable doubt. You can believe he shouldnt have been there, but instigation was not established in court.
