As another indicator that the court system is as much about idiocy as justice, here’s the story of a convicted kidnapper suing his hostage victims for breach of contract. Jesse Dimmick is claiming that Jared and Lindsay Rowley broke their promise to hide him as he was fleeing police.
The alleged promise was made while Dimmick was holding a gun, and he’s seeking damages of $235,000.
Plus legal fees, I’m betting.
Dimmick, BTW, is serving an 11-year sentence for that particular incident, so there’s no legal doubt that he was committing a felony at gunpoint at the time of his eliciting the purported oral agreement.
File it under “America, gonif!”

I am relieved to infer from the article that the idiot kidnapper is proceeding pro se - hopefully because he was unable to find a lawyer stupid enough to take his case.
However, I was intrigued to read that "While being ordered to lie face down, a Topeka officer's rifle accidentally discharged". It's so hard to get firearms to respond to instructions these days.
