State settles inmate's lawsuit for $115K

Last edited Sun Dec 23, 2018, 01:13 PM - Edit history (1)

The state has agreed to settle an inmate's federal lawsuit alleging two nurses in the medical clinic at the Lincoln Correctional Center ignored symptoms that he was having a heart attack in 2015.

Aron Boyd-Nicholson, 44, will get $115,000, according to the Nebraska Attorney General's office, which represented the nurses.

In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Omaha in 2015, Boyd-Nicholson accused the nurses of being deliberately indifferent to his medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

On Aug. 11, 2015, he became dizzy while folding laundry, collapsed in his cell and was taken to the medical clinic, where he complained of chest pains, sweating, dizziness and feeling weak.

I had some errands to attend to this afternoon. It didn't help that the cat was giving me the evil eye since I ran out of Temptations treats to feed her.
