Ricky Schroder,50, is making headlines after he contributed to accused killer Kyle Rittenhouse‘s recent release from jail by donating a whopping $150,000 to his $2 million bail bond, according to TMZ. Rittenhouse’s lawyer, Lin Wood, took to his Twitter account on Nov.20 to announce his release and posted a photo of the 17-year-old smiling and posing alongside Ricky as well as Attorney John Pierce, which can be seen below. “FREE AT LAST!!!” Lin wrote in the caption for the tweet. “Thank you, All Donors. Thank you, All Patriots. Thank God Almighty. #FightBack.” Rittenhouse’s controversial release, which allows him to be free pending trial, comes almost three months after he was accused of shooting and killing two men as well as wounding a third with an AR-15 style rifle during protests surrounding the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Although one of the protestors was armed with a handgun and Rittenhouse, who is from Antioch, Illinois, claims he acted in self defense, the killings brought on a lot of criticism from the public.
