AdvertisementFew cases win outrightBusiness Insider analyzed a sample of nearly 1,500 federal Eighth Amendment lawsuits — including every appeals court case with an opinion we could locate filed from 2018 to 2022 and citing the relevant precedent-setting Supreme Court cases and standards — and found that a settlement like Smith's was exceedingly rare. BI was able to identify just six cases that settled for $50,000 or more; half of those, including the England case, involved prisoner deaths. A New York prisoner won $2,000 for claims that he suffered debilitating pain while prison officials delayed treating his degenerative osteoarthritis. BI interviewed 10 attorneys who represented prisoners or their families in cases that prevailed; they all said the cases would have struggled to succeed without counsel. The underlying Eighth Amendment claim, he said, entailed abuse with the potential to infuriate even jurors sympathetic to law enforcement.

Americanii doresc să elimine scena din „Singur Acasă 2” în care Donald Trump se întâlnește cu Macaulay CulkinDupă blocarea lui Donald Trump pe Twitter și pe majoritatea rețelelor sociale, un număr de utilizatori ai acestora au sugerat ca președintele american în funcție să fie tăiat și din filmul de cult „Singur Acasă 2” în care apare pentru câteva secunde, scrie The Independent. Utilizatorii au sugerat ca imaginea lui Trump să fie ștearsă digital din film, iar în locul lui să fie editat un cameo al lui Macaulay Culkin adult, acum în vârstă de 40 de ani. Actorul însuși s-a declarat încântat de idee, scrie digi24.ro. Chris Columbus, regizorul filmului, spunea anul trecut că Donald Trump a pus apariția sa în film drept condiție pentru ca scenele respective să poată fi filmate în hotelul său, pe lângă o sumă de bani plătită hotelului. În 1992, anul în care a fost lansată pelicula, Donald Trump era proprietarul acelui hotel.
