Prison worker’s training injury comp claim, not constitutional seizureA federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that a Michigan prison employee injured during a hostage-training exercise was not “seized” under the Fourth Amendment and could not proceed with an excessive-force claim against two corrections officers. Ms. Arthur agreed to act as a hostage during an April 2023 training exercise. The maneuver pushed the officer into Ms. Arthur, pinning her against an armchair as several team members fell partially on top of them. An MRI later showed that Ms. Arthur suffered a low-grade posterior cruciate ligament sprain, bone contusions and an incomplete impaction fracture. Ms. Arthur acknowledged during oral arguments that she had successfully pursued a workers compensation claim.
