TACOMA, Wash. (Legal Newsline) – A Washington county will have to face claims it failed a woman who was beaten by her estranged husband who was under electronic home monitoring and had a history of violence.
The Feb. 9 decision by the Washington Court of Appeals says Heather Durham’s estate adequately alleged Pierce County failed its “take-charge” duty in the supervision of Abel Robinson, an HIV-positive paraplegic who was sentenced to a year of electronic home monitoring for methamphetamine charges in 2016.
His criminal history listed 18 counts of assault, domestic violence and harassment at the time of that sentencing. He was supposed to either begin the monitoring or report to jail by Aug. 5, 2016, but did neither.
Foreign Affairs – December 14, 2020:
Officials from Global Affairs Canada provide background information for the committee’s study on Bill S-2, an act to amend the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act.
The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) is an international arms treaty that prohibits states from developing, acquiring, stockpiling, and using chemical weapons. Canada signed onto the treaty in 1993, where it later came into force in 1997. In response to the 2018 chemical attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, U.K., the CWC added 4 new categories of toxic chemicals to their ban.
Speaking to the committee are Global Affairs Canada’s Dan Costello, Sébastien Carrière, Alison Grant, Andrew Halliday, and Brendan Murphy, as well as Dr. Heather Durham, chair of the Biological and Chemical Defence Review Committee.
