What does he need?

  • Money for bail – \$2 million (more info)
  • Money for legal fees – \$?? (research needed)
  • Money for security – \$?? (research needed)
  • Total: \$3m? \$5m?

How much does Kyle need on top of the \$2m bail? \$1m for legal defense and security? More? On the other hand, he seems to have tried to do the right thing and it would be really nice to be able to just make sure he has plenty.

How much has been raised?

Known funds raised as of Oct 13: \$2,657,313 (\$657,313 after bail)

  • FightBack.law: \$2,100,344 (as of Sept 25) (source)
    • This doesn't appear to update automatically. Doesn't appear to have updated since Sept 25.
    • Is the counter for Kyle's fund only? Probably? For now I'm calculating as if it is.
  • GiveSendGo: $541,177 (as of Oct 13) (source)
  • Snowball: $15,792 (as of Oct 13) (source)

More info

  • Sept 5: Total fake news. Pierce Bainbridge P.C. has zero debt. I have stepped off the #FightBack board to avoid any potential conflict. Of course the firm will have to be paid for some of its work and expenses so we can keep the lights on. – John Pierce, twitter
    • Sept 5: FYI, just stepped off official #FightBack Foundation board to 100% focus on freeing Kyle and avoid any appearance of $$ conflict. All good. – John Pierce, twitter
  • Sept 1: #FightBack Foundation has engaged 4 lawyers for Kyle & will need 1 more in Illinois. All must be paid but are working at discounted rates. John Pierce @CaliKidJMP is lead attorney.

Stuff to suggest including?

catalogue for ref

  • More footage
    • Kyle cleaning stuff earlier in they day, include this?
    • there's more gas station footage, should I include it? I guess I could make a ruqqus post about it with a bunch of different footage and link that, instead of making a bunch of entries for each video in the catalogue.
  • info about already included footage
    • nothing more yet

NYT analysis included?

Not sure if this is already in the evidence thread or not and I want to write down the links somewhere until I figure out if it is or not.
