todayJuly 11, 2015

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The state Supreme Court has ruled that a former inmate can’t sue the Department of Corrections over injuries he suffered when a foul ball hit him during a prison yard baseball game. Adam Mayhugh filed the lawsuit in 2012, alleging he suffered a brain injury and a severed artery that led to strokes when the ball hit him at Redgranite Correctional Institution in July 2011. The Supreme Court ruled 7-0 on Friday that DOC is entitled to sovereign immunity.
