Abstract: 

What might have been a complex but reasonable analysis of shoddy jail intake procedures, misuse of a taser, and shabby treatment of Plaintiff’s seizure disorder morphed into a Byzantine nightmare. Brawner v. Scott Co., Tenn., 14 F.4th 585 (6th Cir. 2021) had the usual panel of three judges deciding the case but with two separate opinions. The overhanging issues relate to that lethal term “deliberate indifference” and the Supreme Court’s decision in Kinglsey v. Hendrickson, 576 U.S. 389 (2015).
