EXCLUSIVE: Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyer 'threatened to kill his ex-wife' and is in massive personal and professional debt, yet manages to cling onto Kenosha shooter's case and is entrusted with teen's fundraising
Kyle Rittenhouse's lawyer John Pierce said on December 3 he was stepping away from the criminal proceedings after prosecutors raised ethical concerns
Rittenhouse, 17, is accused of shooting dead two Black Lives Matter protesters and wounding a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin in August
Pierce, 48, was an integral part of the effort to secure the $2 million bail for Rittenhouse, who was bound over earlier this month for trial
The Harvard law grad said he'd be continuing to raise money for the teen's defense fund and would represent him in future civil suits
