The office of Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) has asked a federal judge to dismiss the lawsuit of a teacher who was stabbed and sexually assaulted inside a state prison after guards allegedly abandoned her in a room full of sex offenders to whom she was administering a high school equivalency test.
In a Monday hearing, Deputy Attorney General Jonathan Weisbard requested that U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton drop the teacher’s case on the grounds that, having worked in prisons before, the teacher should have known that being assaulted was a possibility.
