After protesters shut down the Golden Gate Bridge, the California Highway Patrol is considering charging them with felony conspiracy and false imprisonment, sparking concerns about the potential chilling effect on free speech.

Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital Found Liable for $220 Million in 'Take Care of Maya' Trial

A jury has awarded damages of over $211 million to the family of a 10-year-old girl who was falsely imprisoned and mistreated by Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in Florida. The hospital's conduct, including placing the girl under video surveillance, photographing her without permission, and subjecting her to inappropriate physical contact, was deemed "extreme and outrageous" by the jury. The girl's mother tragically took her own life after her daughter was removed from the family and sheltered at the hospital. The verdict, which also includes punitive damages, is a major legal defeat for the hospital and may have far-reaching implications for medical malpractice cases.
