State to pay part of Pierce defense costs in burglary case
Judge Gregory Hulse in Dallas County District Court ruled the state will cover deposition expert witness and subpoena expenses for former Iowa basketball player Pierre Pierce. Pierce, 22, faces two counts of first degree burglary, assault with intent to commit sex abuse and fourth-degree criminal mischief related to a Jan. 27 Des Moines area incident. He must repay any state funds used and cannot hire experts without court approval. Pierce’s parents have spent about $15,000 on attorneys. Pierce says he is unemployed living on about $170 monthly.
