Check out the legal link on this page http://66.165.133.65/
No criminal has gotten money from hurting himself while commiting a crime...and the US has laws that keep a crimianl from profiting in any way from his crime.
I know it's a bit off subject here, but I thought I would weigh in on that quote.

There is currently a case here in the San Francisco bay area where a criminal is suing because he got shot twice while attempting to rob a convenience store. He says that "deadly force" wasn't needed and that he's been psychologically scarred from the event. He also says he suffers from nightmares because of it. He was injured during the criminal activity... and no, this isn't an Urban Legend, this is something the news has been talking about for the past few days.

I'll see if I can find a link to that today and will post it here... FWIW KTVU is the one that I have heard reporting this, I even heard them talking about this before I came in to work this morning.
