GoFundMe created for Pieper Lewis, who is ordered to pay $150,000 to estate of alleged rapist she killed:
As recently as last week, it only had about $4,000 in donations. After Porter ruled Lewis had to pay restitution, Schipper reworked and republicized the GoFundMe site to capitalize on national media attention on the case.
“Pieper’s case is so obvious to people why this law is flawed, but she’s not unique in this law being problematically applied," Schipper said."It's beautiful and it's amazing." Lewis' attorneys will discuss with her if they will appeal the order to pay $150,000. Porter based his decision on a 2017 Iowa Supreme Court case that found a 15-year-old who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder had to pay the $150,000 required by Iowa law, and that it is not unconstitutional when applied to juvenile homicide offenders.
Schipper had contact with Lewis and her legal team late last year. Over the past two days, he has been in contact with her lawyers regarding the fundraiser.
