A federal judge has scrapped a six-year-old class action legal settlement over inmate health care, blasting the Arizona Department of Corrections for not complying with its obligations.
U.S. District Judge Roslyn Silver said millions of dollars in fines and repeated judicial warnings haven t forced the state to comply with the agreement. So she is ordering a trial. Defendants have in the past six years proffered erroneous and unreliable excuses for non-performance, asserted baseless legal arguments, and in essence resisted complying with the obligations they contractually knowingly and voluntarily assumed. Silver said in her 37-page July 16 order. The present situation must end.

A Tucson neighborhood was embroiled in chaos and bloodshed Sunday afternoon after a suspected gunman shot two paramedics and then turned his gun on firefighters and neighbors attempting to extinguish a nearby house fire, killing one, before an officer shot him. We saw really a nightmare scenario play out with near-simultaneous events at separate but nearby locations. This created a level of chaos that made the situation extremely challenging, Tucson police Chief Chris Magnus said.
Leslie Scarlett, 35,
is accused of opening fire on an ambulance crew around 3:45 p.m. Sunday, Magnus said.
Tucson Fire crews were sent to extinguish a house fire in the 2100 block of East Irene Vista near South Kino Parkway and East 36th Street, while a team of medics were responding to a medical emergency at Quincie Douglas Park for an unrelated medical call, police spokesperson Sgt. Richard Gradillas told The Republic.
