Can you believe some people? Absolutely sick (via XRLQ):

A Connecticut driver who’s serving a manslaughter sentence for striking and killing a 14-year-old boy is suing the victim’s parents, blaming them for their son’s death because they allowed him to ride his bike in the street without a helmet.

Matthew Kenney’s parents, Stephen and Joanne, sued 48-year-old driver David Weaving shortly after he was sentenced last year to 10 years in prison, accusing him in Waterbury Superior Court of negligence and seeking more than $15,000 in damages.

Weaving, who has a history of drunken driving convictions, responded months later with a handwritten countersuit accusing the Kenneys of “contributory negligence.” He’s also seeking more than $15,000 in damages, saying he’s endured “great mental and emotional pain and suffering,” wrongful conviction and imprisonment, and the loss of his “capacity to carry on in life’s activities.”

“It drags the pain on,” said Joanne Kenney, a stay-at-home mom with two other children, ages 2 and 13. “It’s a constant reminder. Enough is enough. Can you just leave us alone and serve your time?”

Prisoners nationwide file tens of thousands of court actions a year on allegations ranging from wrongful convictions to poor jail conditions to civil rights violations, according to federal judiciary data. But lawyers and victim advocates say it’s not often that convicted criminals sue victims and their families.

God bless this family for what this jerk-off is continuing to put them through. This is another one of those cases where a return to wild West-style justice would suit me just fine.
