The Catholic Church and Boy Scouts Lobby Against Child Abuse Laws |
|
Since
2009 alone, state lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have tried at least
200 times to extend the civil statute of limitations for child sexual abuse
cases, according to a USA TODAY analysis of legislation filed in all 50
states, part of a two-year look at model legislation in partnership with the
Arizona Republic and the Center for Public Integrity. The bills have borrowed
from and built on each other, sharing common phrases and ideas.

filed suit against Lyft alleging his music career was ended when a Lyft driver
beat him in New York City. The plaintiff alleges he suffered broken bones, two
concussions, and a traumatic brain injury when the Lyft driver attacked him
after he canceled a ride. Due to injuries sustained in the attack, the
composer and musician's career came to an end, alleges the complaint. Named as
defendants in the lawsuit, which seeks punitive damages, court costs, attorney
fees, and other relief, are Lyft and the driver.

Agrees To Pay Ohio Counties $20M |
|
Johnson &
Johnson and two Ohio counties have reached a tentative $20.4 million
settlement that removes the corporation from the first federal lawsuit against
opioid manufacturers, scheduled to begin later this month. In a statement
released Tuesday, the health care giant said the agreement with Cleveland's
Cuyahoga and Akron's Summit counties allows it "to avoid the resource demands
and uncertainty of a trial." However, the terms stipulate that Johnson &
Johnson makes "no admission of liability."
