Dimmick's Case:
He claims that he had an oral contract with the couple that involved an exchange of money for help hiding from the police:
Jessie Dimmick, 25, claims that Jared and Lindsay Rowley agreed to take an unspecified amount of cash in exchange for helping him hide from cops, who were hunting him in connection with the beating death of a Colorado man, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported.
However, when my article was posted, they were still in pre-trial phase. Where the Judge decides whether or not you have a case.
The couple's lawyer has asked a judge to throw out Dimmick's claim, saying the Rowleys never agreed to anything and were under emotional duress during the break-in, the newspaper reported.
You can sue for anything, but there's no guarantee it will even move forward.
"I just think it's crazy that they have the ability to do this behind bars," she said. "I think inmates have too many rights. They're the ones who committed the crimes, not us. And we're the ones who suffer more."
Yes. Because let's prevent the inmates who have legitimate claims from being able to fight them...
I don't like the mom... At all.
Anyway, in the article I found: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/david-weaving-driver-in-fatal-conn-crash-files-lawsuit-against-victims-parents/
There's this interesting little tidbit:
It's not often that perpetrators sue victims, said Jeff Dion, director of the nonprofit National Crime Victim Bar Association. According to Dion, its database indicates that out of more than 12,000 civil cases dating back to the 1980s, approximately 485 cases are ones in which perpetrators actually sue victims.
So you posted a case that might actually fit the bill. But a little bit more research proves you're still dead wrong.
