Florida burglar sues his victim
A Florida burglar is suing the man whose van he broke into. Michael Dupree, now serving a 12-year jail term, is seeking $500,000, saying three men knelt on his back and handcuffed him while waiting for police, causing “permanent disabilities and psychological disorders.” Van owner Anthony McKoy says he merely put Dupree in a shoulder-hold. “What gall,” he said. “I’m the victim.”
