File Motion For Kyle Rittenhouse Arrest Warrant And Higher Bond For Alleged Bail Breach\">-degree intentional homicide<\/a> for the February 2025 killings of his stepfather, Donald mayer, and his mother, Tatiana Casap, in Waukesha County. Prosecutors say he murdered them to steal money and other items-about $14,000 in cash, jewelry, passports, a gun, and the family dog-to fund a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump; investigators found he had purchased a drone and explosives.Authorities allege Casap wrote a manifesto targeting Trump, communicated the plan to others (including messages with an unknown Russian about leaving for Ukraine), and had materials on his phone related to the extremist group Order of the Nine Angles. Arrested in Kansas on Feb. 28, 2025, after living with his parents&#8217; decomposing bodies for nearly two weeks, he pleaded guilty as prosecutors dropped seven other charges under a plea deal. Casap faces two life sentences and is scheduled to be sentenced on March 5; while a judge could permit parole after 20 years on each count, the district attorney says she will seek to bar his eventual release.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Wisconsin man pleads guilty to killing parents in Trump assassination plot<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2467333\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/wisconsin\/\">Wisconsin man<\/a> pleaded guilty on Thursday to killing his parents last year and stealing their money to fund his plot to assassinate President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a>, who survived two assassination attempts before returning to the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\">White House<\/a> for a second term.<\/p>\n<p>Nikita Casap, 18, entered his guilty plea on two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
