Kim Zolciak’s 15-year-old son, KJ Biermann, is begging to be released from jail, citing good character, strong academics, football achievements and scholarship offers.
Biermann’s attorney filed documents in the Superior Court of Fulton County on Wednesday requesting a bond hearing for his client, who has been jailed at Atlanta’s Metro Regional Youth Detention Center since his Aug. 17 arrest for aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery.
“The accused turned fifteen years old in May. He is a high school student in good standing who has demonstrated strong academic achievement and regularly participates in extracurricular and community-based activities,” the attorney argued in the filing obtained Thursday by Page Six.
“He is an accomplished football player who has received scholarship offers based upon his athletic ability.”
The attorney went on to reference Biermann’s “substantial” ties to his “family and community,” stating that he “maintains a home and relationship” with both Zolciak, 48, and dad Kroy Biermann, 40.
He also has “five siblings” and is “surrounded by an established community of extended family, friends, coaches, teachers, and others who remain actively involved in his life and continue to support him and his family during the pendency of these serious allegations.”
According to the attorney, the aforementioned “are not merely favorable attributes” but rather “ties that bind [KJ] to his home, his school, his family, and this community,” providing “structure, supervision, accountability, and compelling reasons for him to remain here and comply with every condition imposed by this Court.”
The attorney also stressed that KJ “participated in the development of evidence in his defense, including voluntarily submitting to a polygraph examination.” The results of that test, the attorney claimed, “showed no deception when answering the two relevant questions concerning the alleged conduct.”
The attorney went on to point out that KJ “did not run from the allegation, from law enforcement, or from this Court” and “did not contact or intimidate witnesses.”
