: Legal Pad | LAFederal government admits negligence in immigrant's death from penile cancer
By Jason Siegel
The federal government admitted its negligence in the death of immigrant Francisco Castaneda who died of penile cancer after being denied medical treatment and testing during his year in custody, the Associated Press reported.
Last month, a federal judge in Los Angeles ruled that immigration officials' actions in the case were "beyond cruel and unusual" punishment, allowing his family to go forward with their lawsuit, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The admission of negligence carries damages up to $250,000. Attorney Conal Doyle, who's representing Castaneda's family, told the AP that he plans to argue that the policy that denied Casteneda medical care is unconstitutional.
