A Tennessee state representative is proposing a bill protecting individuals acquitted of murder.
It’s called “Kyle’s Law” and it would reimburse individuals charged with murder legal fees and lost wages if courts find they acted in self-defense and are acquitted of charges. The proposed legislation is named after Kyle Rittenhouse, the Wisconsin teenager acquitted of murdering two Kenosha protestors.
Not everyone agrees with the move. For example, Representative John Ray Clemmons has called the bill “offensive” and a political ploy.
