Only in America can the criminal sue the victim

Can there be no trust between a kidnapper and his hostages?

A man who held a Kansas couple hostage in their home while fleeing from authorities is suing them, claiming that they broke an oral contract made when he promised them money in exchange for hiding him from police. The couple has asked a judge to dismiss the suit.

Jesse Dimmick of suburban Denver is serving an 11-year sentence after bursting into Jared and Lindsay Rowley's Topeka-area home in September 2009.

He threatens them with a knife, hides in their home using threats, then claims they breached a contract he had with them, obtained under this coercion, and turned him in to authorities.

What Judge would allow such a suit to proceed? Why any of the corrupt bigots who serve as Judges in the farce the American justice system represents.
