Alternate reality version: The victim wigs out from mental anguish, shoots and kills the shyster lawyer, the crook's sleazy wife, and finishes the job on the burglar. He is then tried and acquitted by reason of temporary insanity and his expenses are paid by the state victim compensation fund.

Or victims wife goes to psychologist who certifies she has experienced a mental breakdown due to the actions of burglar, his wife, and his lawyer, and victim and wife counter sue all of the above for millions due to mental anguish, loss of earnings, etc. etc. etc. Simply including the perps lawyer in the suit might make the original lawsuit go away.
