Prisoner Sued Over Treatment in Jacobi Hospital Now NYC Wants Fentanyl Statements Admitted

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 15 – Bishme Ayers, of Reading, Pennsylvania, has sued the NYC Department of Corrections for how he was treated in their custody at Jacobi Hospital.

         On August 4, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John G. Koeltl held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

  Judge Koeltl ran through a number of motions in limine, ruling for example that evidence about Ayers' misdemeanor convictions would be excluded.

Now on September 15 NYC's Law Department has written in, "further to today's argument regarding the admissibility of... statements made by plaintiff for the purpose of medical treatment." One might think these would be privileged. But NYC says the admission of ingesting fentanyl is a prior inconsistent statement.

The case is Ayers v. The City Of New York , et al., 14-cv-8979 (Koeltl)
