• Deliberate Indifference Under § 1983: Do the Courts Really Care?

[...] Part VI concludes this Note. A trusty was promptly sent to Hare's cell, only to find her hanging from the jail bars with a noose that she had fashioned from strips of the blanket - she had killed herself.18 Hare's husband filed suit against the City of Corinth and the individual officers involved, alleging the defendants had violated the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process clause by depriving Hare of her right to reasonable care.19 In denying summary judgment for the defendants, and rejecting the individual officers' contentions of qualified immunity, the district court found a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the defendants knew or should have known of Hare's suicide risk.

• U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit: Convictions Against Buffalo Police Officers Upheld

Falsifying search warrants, planting drugs on suspects, and using violent and intimidating methods against drug dealers and informants are all methods the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit described as the "rogue, vigilante-style tactics worthy of a television drama" and used by two former Buffalo police officers while on the job. In United States v. Sylvestre Acosta and Paul Skinner, the Second Circuit affirmed the former officers' convictions for conspiracy and violating civil rights under the color of law. The court specifically found 18 USC Section Section 241 and 242 are crimes of violence under Section 924(c).

• Bocc Officers Near Deal On Bad Loan

Fallout from the disastrous collapse of the Bank of Clark County almost three years ago is about to take its toll on board members and some key officers of the failed bank, accused in court of egregious management errors in the face of a collapsing real estate market. Top bank executives and board members, some of whom are prominent Clark County business leaders, are close to a deal that would settle legal claims tied to an unpaid $6 million loan to Bank of Clark County from Sterling Savings Bank in 2008, according to a court document filed by Sterling last month. Terms of a settlement have already been reached and are awaiting approval by the U.S. District Court in Spokane.
