Kyle Rittenhouse claims ex-lawyer ‘set him up’ for Proud Boys pic
Kyle Rittenhouse claimed his ex-attorney “set him up” for a photo of him posing with purported members of the Proud Boys and making a hand gesture used by white supremacists.
Rittenhouse blasted his former legal team, John Pierce and Lin Wood, saying he didn’t know the “OK” hand signal is now associated with white supremacy and claiming he “didn’t know what a militia was” until after he was arrested.
The 18-year-old was seen making the gesture in a now widely circulated picture taken in a Wisconsin bar and used by the prosecution in the racially charged homicide case against Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two people and injured a third during a confrontation in Kenosha-Wis., last year.
Rittenhouse, acquitted on all charges last week after claiming self-defense, posed for the picture in January while awaiting trial.

What is the invested interest some have in Lin Wood? Who would know better than Kyle as to his character and motive?
Thank you for posting the link. I think Lin Wood is a decent man. Did not like the Georgia incident. I think a lot of the blame re: Kyle goes to the other lawyer Pierce and the spokesman for Kyle’s family David Hancock.
You mean Kyle’s and spokesman? I haven’t heard of them but thanks for the info
Kyle said his previous lawyers. Lin was one of them but I think the real blame. Is on the other lawyer John Pierce.
Yes David Hancock ... a lot of bad things coming out about him.
...saying he didn’t know the “OK” hand signal is now associated with white supremacy...
It isn't.
