Rittenhouse lawyer withdraws from defense fund

Lawyer of accused Kenosha shooter has troubled financial past, steps away from defense fund that raised $700K
Updated 8:16 pm EDT Sep. 4, 2020

The lead attorney representing accused Kenosha, Wisconsin, gunman Kyle Rittenhouse said he resigned his position with a defense fund expected to benefit his 17-year-old client out of concern for the lawyer's troubled financial history.

Attorney John Pierce said Friday that he made the move earlier this week to avoid any "appearance of conflict" related to a series of legal disputes in which Pierce and his firm have been accused of defaulting on millions of dollars in obligations to the firm’s financiers, according to court documents.

Lying, thieving MAGAt is the only creature that will take the case of a lying, murderous MAGAt. Perfect match!

meanwhile, they will gut their own giblets off to ensure 1 poor person doesn't get a thin dime to help them get a step up.
