Driver In Fatal Conn. Crash Sues Victim's Parents for Letting Son Bike Without Helmet - FoxNews.com: "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?'"
