Florida Jury Clears Hospital That 'Deported' Patient
A Florida jury has found a South Florida hospital not guilty of false imprisonment after it repatriated one of its longtime patients, an illegal immigrant to the United States, to his native Guatemala. The patient, Luis Jimenez, had been involved in an auto accident that left him with severe brain damage. The drunk driver who hit the vehicle Jimenez was riding in had little insurance, so the victims of the accident were left with almost nothing in compensation. Jimenez's condition was eventually stabilized, and he could have been discharged to an appropriate care facility but because he was uninsured, nursing homes were unwilling to accept him. With no appropriate discharge plan available, Jimenez remained at Martin Memorial Medical Center for several years, toting up more than $1 million in unpaid bills.

Protecting Innovation in the Cyber World from Patent Trolls
With trillions of dollars to keep watch over, the last thing we need is the distraction of costly litigation brought on by patent assertion entities (PAEs or "patent trolls"), companies that don't make any products but instead seek royalties by asserting their patents against those who do make products.
