☆ Violence by Prison Guards Rarely Punished by Federal Courts: BI Analysis
  + stars: | 2024-12-22 | by ( Hannah Beckler | Nicole Einbinder | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +37 min
That's how one California prisoner's case failed before the District Court for the Eastern District of California. Cases against corrections officers run into another set of challenges under the doctrine of "qualified immunity." In prisons, BI has found, qualified immunity has also protected corrections officers who have been accused of excessive force. After losing at the district court level, McCoy appealed and got a rare finding from the judges of the 5th Circuit. AdvertisementOver the same five years in BI's sample, no federal judge found for the plaintiff in a single excessive-force claim filed by a California prisoner.

Peter Coker Jr., left, is issued search warrants from police at his villa on the southern resort island of Phuket, Thailand, Jan. 11, 2023. A magistrate judge had approved Peter Coker Jr.'s release on a $1.5 million bond in late March, but he remained in an Essex County jail as prosecutors appealed the ruling. He added that Coker Jr.'s local doctors had advised him not to travel because of his health issues. Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn Barnes acknowledged that Coker Jr. had health concerns, but said officials could have made arrangements to ensure his safety while traveling. After the judge delivered her ruling, Coker Jr.'s mother cried in the gallery and outside of the courtroom.
☆ Ex-fugitive in $100 million N.J. deli case granted bail, but kept jailed as feds fight release

Peter Coker Jr., left, is issued search warrants from police at his villa on the southern resort island of Phuket, Thailand, Jan. 11, 2023. A former fugitive in the securities fraud case of the notorious $100 million New Jersey deli has been granted bail — but he remains in jail as federal prosecutors fight his release by arguing he remains a serious flight risk. Coker Jr., 53, was charged in September along with his father, Peter Coker Sr., and another man, James Patten, in a 12-count indictment alleging securities fraud and conspiracy. Prosecutors say the scheme was designed to make both companies attractive targets for so-called reverse mergers with private companies. The elder Coker and Patten were arrested at the time of the indictment in North Carolina, where they reside.
☆ Judge pauses SEC case in alleged NJ deli stock fraud in favor of criminal probe
  + stars: | 2022-12-21 | by ( Rebecca Picciotto | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Federal prosecutors had requested earlier in December that the judge postpone the SEC case due to considerable overlap with their criminal litigation. Judge Christine O'Hearn granted that request on Wednesday, stating that there was no opposition from either the SEC or the defendants. It was the sole asset of Hometown International, a company controlled by financiers James Patten, Peter Coker Sr. and Peter Coker Jr. Your Hometown Deli made under $40,000 in annual revenue despite Hometown International's $100 million market value, according to public filings. Prosecutors say Patten convinced Morina to open the deli under the umbrella of Hometown International.
☆ Federal prosecutors ask judge to postpone SEC case in alleged New Jersey deli stock fraud
  + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( Gabrielle Fonrouge | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Federal prosecutors in New Jersey want the Securities and Exchange Commission to postpone its civil case against the alleged masterminds behind a $100 million fraud scheme involving a small-town deli so it won't get in the way of their ongoing criminal case. Prosecutors for the District of New Jersey filed a motion on Wednesday saying the SEC's case "substantially" overlaps with their ongoing criminal case and the civil matter should be postponed until the litigation, including a potential trial, is completed, court records show. Postponing the civil case would "preserve the integrity" of the ongoing prosecution by preventing the defendants from seeing the extent of the government's evidence against them, federal prosecutors argued in the filing. The SEC and the attorneys for the suspects consented to the request, which is common in such cases. A telephone conference is scheduled in the criminal case for Dec. 14, but it's expected to be mostly procedural and an opportunity for the prosecutors and defense attorneys to update the judge on the status of the litigation.
