加利福尼亚州陪审团判给前监狱心理学家Beth Fischgrund博士1 680万美元, A California jury awarded former prison psychologist Dr. Beth Fischgrund $16.8 million after finding the state failed to protect her following a credible threat from an inmate who said he wanted to cut off her head. Fischgrund因工作人员短缺而通过合同机构工作,他报告了威胁情况并提出了安全关切,但被告知这不可信,仍留在该单位。 Fischgrund, who worked through a contract agency due to staff shortages, reported the threat and raised safety concerns but was told it was not credible and remained in the unit. 她在正式报告威胁两天后被解雇,后来得知她被从监狱工作中列入黑名单,她的个人详情在传单中散发,这助长了破坏性谣言。 She was fired two days after formally reporting the threat and later learned she was blacklisted from prison work and her personal details were circulated in flyers, fueling damaging rumors. 陪审团认为国家对她进行报复,判她收入损失、感情伤害和诽谤损害赔偿。 The jury found the state retaliated against her, awarding damages for lost earnings, emotional harm, and defamation. 加利福尼亚惩教改造局拒绝发表意见,没有说明是否会提出上诉。 The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation declined to comment and did not say if it will appeal.
