☆ 'Deliberate Indifference' Standard Halts Serious Prison Abuse Lawsuits
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-21 | by ( Nicole Einbinder | Hannah Beckler | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +41 min

The court unanimously ruled that prison officials were liable for Eighth Amendment violations only if they acted with "deliberate indifference" to a prisoner's suffering. "And when this is true of prison officials, no constitutional liability may lie, however 'soul-chilling' the conditions." As long as prison officials assert that they didn't know about the risk, he said, a federal court will rarely find an Eighth Amendment violation. Prison officials weren't aware of the altercation, according to an incident report, until Hodges' then-fiancée called the prison, concerned about his safety. She disagreed with how her colleagues assessed the question of mindset, writing that a committee finding alone should not release prison officials from liability.

Trian claims Disney's board has failed to generate sufficient returns in recent years as subscription streaming losses have mounted and traditional TV subscribers have declined. Early vote countBoth Disney and Trian received support from influential shareholders ahead of Wednesday's meeting. Roughly one-third of Disney's shareholders are retail shareholders, who historically vote in small numbers in annual meetings. The arrangement still raised questions about ValueAct's support for the company and whether Disney's board should have disclosed the prior relationship.

☆ MTG clashes with conservative Republican over Tlaib censure vote, calling him 'Colonel Sanders,' and drags Lauren Boebert into it by bringing up her 'vaping groping' incident

Greene is angry that Rep. Chip Roy of Texas opposed her effort to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) November 1, 2023Twenty-three Republicans, including Roy, voted against the resolution moving forward. Her conduct is unbecoming of a member of Congress and certainly worthy of condemnation - if not censure," Roy said in a statement after his vote. "However, tonight's feckless resolution to censure Tlaib was deeply flawed and made legally and factually unverified claims, including the claim of leading an 'insurrection'." Talib said Greene's resolution was "deeply Islamophobic" and made clear she would not change her approach.

☆ Silver Lake submits offer document for Software AG
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

BERLIN, May 17 (Reuters) - Silver Lake officially submitted its offer document for Software AG (SOWGn.DE) on Wednesday, almost a month after announcing a 2.4 billion euro ($2.64 billion) takeover bid. In its offer document, Silver Lake reiterated that it intends to delist Software AG as soon as practically possible after the transaction. It has secured 30.1% of the share capital through a binding agreement with company founder Peter Schnell's Software AG Foundation, a charitable foundation and longstanding anchor shareholder, and through purchases on the stock exchange. Software AG's management and supervisory boards support Silver Lake despite Bain's higher offer, drawing criticism from minority shareholders at the company's annual general meeting on Wednesday. Software AG's chairman of the board of directors, Silver Lake partner Christian Lucas, was absent from the AGM which was run by an external lawyer.
