This is just crazy.
From the Havre Daily News: Hill and Blaine counties, having appealed that appealed an order to pay $300,000 to the estate of an 18-year-old man who died of alcohol withdrawal suffered in the Hill County jail have now been ordered to pay $1.35 million.
The Montana Human Rights Commission found last week that the hearings examiner did not award damages for the entire period of time that A.J. Longsoldier suffered from untreated acute alcohol withdrawal before his November 2009 death.
The Independent Record reports (http://bit.ly/1d0oP5u ) the commission found Blaine and Hill counties were liable for the entire 33 hours Longsoldier suffered because jail officers did not fill a prescription to ease his symptoms.
The hearings examiner ordered jail staff to be trained on filling and administering prescription drugs and the commission added training in recognizing symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. http://www.havredailynews.com/story/2013/08/12/breaking-news/hill-blaine-counties-ordered-to-pay-135m-in-longsoldiers-death/1126.html
The Human Rights Commission are 5 unelected members, appointed by the governor, in this case a liberal Democrat.
And this liberal government agency decided it was worth $40,000+ per hour for this guy to go through alcohol withdrawal, something he brought on himself.
So, if you are planning on living in Montana or doing in Montana, think twice because a liberal unelected government agency may just want to screw you.
