By law, bond should be returned to whoever posted it after the trial is over. In this case, it appears to be Pierce’s law firm. But Wood claims that his #FightBack Foundation is the one that raised the money and thus should get the cash. Former child actor Ricky Schroder and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell have also been credited with making donations toward Rittenhouse’s legal fund.
- Kyle Rittenhouse's former lawyers want their share of $2million bond money
- John Pierce of LA-based law firm Pierce Bainbridge cut $2million check last year
- The money was used to spring Rittenhouse from jail after his arrest last year
- But another ex-Rittenhouse lawyer, Lin Wood, says cash should go to his charity
- Wood and Pierce created #FightBack Foundation to raise money for Rittenhouse
- Rittenhouse's family is reportedly refusing the former lawyers' demands
- His current attorney, Mark Richards, predicts there'll be a fight over cash

DeleteThanks and we'll see how it turns out.
This should never be an issue. All jurisdictions have rules, laws and policys covering such monies. This is just shyster greed rearing it's ugly fat head.
