LEO 229 is right. but the one thing that needs to be changed is when a person commits a crime he loses all rights except basic human rights and the right to a speedy trial. and his family shall lose there rights in sueing anyone or a business. he is committing the crime and as he wouldknow the law excepts the responsability.

i was brought up knowing that if i broke the law i would have to pay the consequencesfor my actions.

Correct...

It is like being a victim all over again when you get sued for the bad guy stubbing his toe while burglarizing your house.

There is just something wrong with that. But what is sad is that lawyers are more than willing to take the case. They should be the first line defense and deny taking on that kind of case.

In the state of Virginia, as in about 16 others at this time we have the" Castle Doctrine" in place. That prevents you from being sued by someone or there family that is killed or injured while commiting a crime:celebrate

When did this Castle Doctrine take effect for Civil Suits? I missed a lot of the sessions this year, but I thought it was defeated again by people thinking we are going to use it to shoot the Avon Lady or our daughter's boyfriend - I believe those were examples given in committee.

This seems to be in dispute. Please cite the new code.
