NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) – A Tennessee House representative has proposed a bill that would require the state to reimburse certain people found innocent in murder cases.

House Representative Bruce Griffey (R-Paris) has introduced legislation based on the recent murder case against Kyle Rittenhouse. The bill is called “Kyle’s Law” and aims to “strengthen protection of self-defense and second amendment rights in Tennessee,” according to Griffey’s press release.

In short, anyone accused of murder and found not guilty, but determined to have acted in lawful self-defense, would be reimbursed by the state for certain costs, such as lost wages and legal fees.

How about reimbursed by the state, but then the state attaches the prosecutor's wages until the money is paid back?

That would stop a lot of frivolous prosecutions that has no bearing on the prosecution, win or loose!

Bingo! Government actors do things under the veil of gov knowing they have zero personal exposure. Until that changes, we’ll continue to see this nonsense.

That's EXACTLY what needs to happen. Putting the bill on the tax payers doesn't bother them a bit.

Love the idea! Can't imagine it would ever pass.

Too much like making bureaucrats accountable for their actions.

Da's really don't care if it's going to cost the state money. Nice for the people though.
