Even if it didn't, it opens him up to discovery. And if he can't afford a lawyer...

Well there are plenty of scummy lawyers that can make a nonexistent case go somewhere.

Lawyers aren’t going to want to sue this guy unless he has insurance. Insurance will pay his Legal defense costs. That’s how this works. I find it unlikely he’ll be sued by the family of a murderer who he stopped from killing a second person

Lawyer gets a cut of the settlement.

Perhaps you didn't understand, they will make a case out of a nonexistent one. And if the defendant can't afford a lawyer, they'll likely lose.

Edit Apparently they deleted their reply or just blocked me. But to address what the notification window says they said... Does my own father count as dealing with a lawyer?
