The legal drama surrounding Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s family is taking another turn.
The couple’s three younger children have reportedly hired their own attorney and filed an appeal connected to their older brother KJ Biermann’s ongoing sexual battery and sodomy case.
According to court documents Page Six obtained, the Georgia Court of Appeals granted the siblings’ request to challenge a lower-court ruling on November 12.
The children, who are represented by attorney Darice Marie Good, initially filed an Application for Interlocutory Appeal on October 23, seeking a review of a decision made in Fulton County Superior Court. However, it remains unclear which ruling they are challenging or why they are involved in KJ’s criminal proceedings.
One possible connection involves the restrictions placed on KJ as part of his $200,000 bond. When the 15-year-old was released from custody in September, a judge ordered him to have no contact with anyone under the age of 16, including his three younger siblings. It is not yet known whether their appeal concerns those restrictions.
In its November 12 order, the Georgia Court of Appeals granted the application, allowing the children to proceed with their challenge. Good subsequently filed their official Notice of Appeal. The decision does not mean the original ruling has been overturned.
KJ, the son of Real Housewives of Atlanta alums Kim and Kroy, was arrested on August 17 following allegations that he sexually assaulted a female classmate at an Alpharetta, Georgia, Lifetime Fitness location on April 23.
The teenager has pleaded not guilty to all seven felony charges against him. His attorney, Jason Sheffield, has also requested that the case be transferred from adult court to juvenile court, which would prevent KJ from being tried as an adult.
