Odd turn of events.

It's a good thing that Florida's new castle doctrine law expressly forbids those kinds of suits. Looks like Wisconsin has some cutting and pasting to do. Then a veto to override, a bill to refile, another attempt ...

Not surprising.When you consider that the left thinks terrorists should have more rights than we, as citizens, do, who is surprised when they think that criminals should have more rights than victims? It's the propaganda of good=evil and evil=good. Sad state of affairs in the greatest nation on God's green earth.

The unfortunate thing is that the homeowner didn't kill this perp. There have been similar cases and the bad guy usually wins because he is disabled for life and cannot work because of the homeowner's actions.

The criminal shouldn't be able to sue to begin with, but yes, if your life is in danger, don't go for a single shot. If this convict had a gun, he wouldn't have hesitated.

If this case isn't thrown out of court the minute the judge calls for order in the court, then something is really screwed with our justice system.

All IMHO, of course.

Not really. If the perp was killed, it's likely his family would file civil suit. You know, for loss of income, loss of consortium, the usual.

The Milwaukee County suit claims Rainiero used excessive force to deal with the intruding plaintiff and alleges severe and permanent injuries, relentless pain, and loss of earning capacity. The suit doesn't specify a damage amount.

Wrong! The perp is alive! Three shots center of mass and do not use full metal jacket. Might I suggest the fine line if ammunition from Corbon. They make very good stuff.

If the case is thrown out, Prochaska can be forced to pay up to $500 of the legal expenses

Pretty good incentive to try a suit if you're inside. Is the defendant's liability also $500 ? Bet it's not. Like all the apochryphal stories say, shoot to kill.

Why can't you counter sue the perp for the mental anguish, loss of consortium (say if the wife doesn't feel safe to have sex in the house), etc that his crime caused.

I do find it funny that he is also claiming loss of future earnings. I imagine the cross examination: "and how many robberies per night did you plan to commit, and what was the average take?"
