Tennessee State Representative Bruce Griffey is advocating for “Kyle’s Law” to cover the costs of legal and court fees for any Tennessean who is prosecuted in cases of self-defense.
According to a WJHL report, Griffey offered his thoughts on Kyle Rittenhouse’s prosecution, declaring, “I think we all saw what happened. He was attacked. He was defending himself and the jury found that. And despite that – he was still prosecuted for a murder charge. This law is intended to sort of protect that from happening in the future.”
Griffey added, “I think it’s a reasonable response to make sure citizens are protected from malicious prosecutions or being prosecuted when there’s not really enough evidence in the case to pursue a criminal charge against them. They have to go through hiring a lawyer, hiring experts, lost wages – all costs to them. That’s not a fair system.”
