LUTHER POYNTER V. AARON SHIRLEY
— STAFF
We conclude that Farmer’s subjective standard continues to control claims brought by a detainee who has not been convicted of a crime. Because the district court employed Westmoreland to evaluate defendants’ summary-judgment motion, we vacate its order and remand to allow the district court to consider in the first instance whether Poynter’s claim is viable under Farmer.
6th Cir. · vacated
Whether a pretrial detainee's failure-to-protect claim requires subjective awareness of risk or only objective unreasonableness.
