The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the appellants in Whitson v. Hanna, reversing a district court decision, and holding that the Sheriff’s Department and the County were responsible for the actions of a Sedgwick County Sheriff who sexually assaulted an intellectually disabled woman while transporting her between two jails. Associate Mary Marshall, with supervision from Partner Jessica Ring Amunson, authored an amicus brief on behalf of prisoner’s rights organizations in support of the plaintiff, and argued that incarcerated individuals who are assaulted by those responsible for their care deserve justice regardless of underlying motivations.
