He'll probably sue them for calling him a jerk, and then sue the websites for allowing the postings.
"It's a substantial case," Troy, a former prosecutor and public defender, said of the civil lawsuit. "It's definitely a six-figure case. It may be a seven-figure case."

Troy said he claimed negligence, not the more severe allegation of an "intentional act," because it is not his desire to exceed Leone's homeowner insurance policy.

"I'm after justice, that's all," said Troy, who is based in Sonoma County. "I don't want Mr. Leone to be in a position where he loses his house. I'm seeking justice, not an injustice."
It also irritates me the people who think that getting a large payout from the insurance company is somehow OK because they are just the evil corporation. It hurts all of us when insurance companies are saddled with nuisance lawsuits and claims. It simply raises everyone's insurance cost.

I need to say it again for emphasis -- it really, really, irritates me. If I was speaking in a different venue, I would even be tempted to include some profanity.

Re: CA: Burglary suspect sues homeowner who defended himself

Thank God for the law here in Texas! :txflag:

I don't really consider California to be part of the United States anymore. I kind of view this story as interesting, the way I would regard a self-defense story coming out of Little Britain.
