SCOTUSBlog's petition of the week asks: Is a prison guard entitled to #QualifiedImmunity after making a 67yo man with diabetes wounds on his ankles stand in feces-strewn shower water for 30 minutes, sending him back to #SolitaryConfinement with feces on his legs, and refusing him additional showers for a week?
(The man developed an infection and heart problems, requiring emergency surgery)
Both the trial court and the #11thCircuit ruled for the guard. #LawFedi #SCOTUS
