Kidnapper Sues Victims for $235K

You gotta love the legal system in this country!!  Here you can sue for anything and everything as proven by Jesse Dimmick. 

The Colorado man who is serving a nearly 11 year sentence for kidnapping a newlywed Kansas couple, stealing a vehicle and fleeing from police in 2009 is now suing his former hostages for breach of contract, according to Huffington Post

While fleeing police, Dimmick crashed a stolen vehicle in their yard before breaking into Jared and Lindsay Rowley's home, where he held them at knife point. He states they agreed to hide him from the police for an unspecified amount of money, thus entering into a "legally binding oral agreement".  The Rowleys were later able to escape unharmed when he fell asleep, and Dimmick was woke by the police. While ordered to lay face down, the police officer's rifle accidentally discharged and shot him in the back. 


According to the lawsuit, the Rowleys' breach of contract, caused Dimmick to be found by the police and subsequently shot in the back.  He is seeking $160K for his medical bills and $75K for pain and suffering. The lawsuit is filed in response to a suit filed by the Rowleys seeking $75K for home intrusion and causing emotional distress.  

Even though he should have quite the network of attorneys already being convicted of kidnapping, and now charged with murder, he luckily has been unable to find an attorney to represent him....
