'My Pillow, my money'

Fight over killer's bond money

Two lawyers who briefly worked on Rittenhouse’s case — and helped raise $2 million to help get him released from jail as he awaited criminal charges — want their cash back, but the now acquitted teen’s family is fighting the move.

The 18-year-old was cleared of all charges stemming from the shooting of three people — two fatally — during Black Lives Matter protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last summer.

Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, convinced the jury he acted in self-defense.

Rittenhouse was released from jail while he was waiting for his trial in November after a $2 million bond was posted by his former attorney John Pierce, with a cashier’s check from his law firm Pierce Bainbridge.
