Attorney General Jackley Announces State Circuit Court Orders Mayday Health Case to Move Forward to Trial
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley announces that a South Dakota Circuit Court has ruled that the state's lawsuit against Mayday Health over allegations of deceptive and unlawful abortion pill ads can move forward and ordered that a trial date be set.
"South Dakota's circuit court is the proper place to enforce South Dakota law, and we look forward to presentingour evidence at trial," said Attorney General Jackley.
Attorney General Jackley in December issued a letter to Mayday Health that it cease and desist from engaging in deceptive advertising regarding the availability of abortion pills in South Dakota which is illegal. Attorney General Jackley also filed a motion in state court requiring Mayday Health stop its advertising that is either untruthful or contrary to South Dakota law.
Mayday Health responded by filing an emergency temporary restraining order in New York U.S. Federal Court. A federal court judge in New York ruled last week that the state court was the proper place for the lawsuit to be heard.

North Smithfield man to serve 17 years in state prison for deadly DUI
Attorney General Peter F. Neronha announced today that a North Smithfield man was sentenced in Providence County Superior Court to serve 17 years at the Adult Correctional Institutions (ACI) for driving under the influence and causing a crash that killed 63-year-old Thomas Lamoureux and severely injured 36-year-old Jeremy Davis.
On February 18, 2026, Nicholas Stone (age 27) pled nolocontendere to one count of driving under the influence resulting in death, one count of driving under the influence resulting in serious bodily injury, one count of driving to endanger resulting in death, one count of driving to endanger resulting in serious bodily injury, one count of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, one count of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious bodily injury, one count of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in damage to a vehicle, one count of felony reckless driving, and one count of driving under the influence. Superior Court Justice Jeffrey A. Lanphear sentenced the defendant to 25 years with 17 years to serve at the ACI, 25 years of probation, an eight-year suspension of the defendant's license upon release, 60 hours of community service, substance abuse counseling, and $6,100 in fines.
"Because of this defendant's reckless actions, one man died and another suffered permanent injuries," said Attorney General Neronha. "Driving under the influence is an infuriating crime because every instance is entirely preventable, and so often it leads to severe injury or death, both of which occurred here. While I'm grateful that this defendant will pay significantly for his crimes, nothing can undo the harm caused to the victims and their families. I hope they now feel some sense of closure."
Had the case proceeded to trial, the State was prepared to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant drove under the influence, killing and severely injuring multiple victims.
On October 25, 2023, at approximately 9:40 PM, Rhode Island State Police received several reports of a hit-and-run motor vehicle crash on Route 146 North at the Sayles Hill Road intersection in North Smithfield. When troopers arrived on scene, they found two victims who had been hit by a motor vehicle. Emergency personnel pronounced Thomas Lamoureux dead at the scene and transported a second victim, Jeremy Davis to Rhode Island Hospital for severe bodily injuries.
Earlier in the evening, at 7:11 PM, the defendant purchased nine nips from Washington Hill Liquors in Lincoln, and at 9:20 PM the defendant returned to purchase nine more nips and a 40 oz can of Budweiser. Thereafter, the defendant drove his grey BMW sedan northbound on Route 146, struck Mr. Davis with the passenger side front bumper, and then struck Mr. Lamoureux, carrying his body on the hood of the vehicle for approximately 600 feet. The defendant then side-swiped a RIPTA passenger van before fleeing to the parking lot of a Walmart in North Smithfield. While parked, the defendant called his mother and confessed to the various crimes. His mother immediately called 9-1-1 and directed authorities to her son's location.
When troopers arrived on scene, they observed a 2011 gray BMW 328i with heavy damage to the hood, front windshield, roof, rear windshield, and driver-side of the motor vehicle. Police attempted to conduct field sobriety tests, but the defendant refused and requested an ambulance. Emergency personnel then transported the defendant to Landmark Medical Center.
At the hospital, after the defendant refused to submit to a chemical test, police sought and obtained a search warrant for the defendant's blood. The defendant's blood alcohol content was determined to be .161, more than double the legal limit, approximately one and a half hours after the collisions.
Special Assistant Attorney General Steve Regine and Rhode Island State Police Troopers Brendan Degnan and Joshua Dilibero of the Rhode Island State Police led the investigation and prosecution of the case.

Drummond praises proposed EPA rule to rollback misguided risk management program
Attorney General Gentner Drummond said today he is pleased the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is rolling back its risk management program rule with its Common Sense Approach to Chemical Accident Prevention proposal. Drummond sued the Biden Administration over the rule in May 2024.
Drummond also testified before a U.S. House subcommittee in 2024 that the revised risk managementrule would have devastating consequences for Oklahoma and other states, noting it was bad for business, harmful to consumers and outright hostile to America's oil and gas industry. The expanded rule was aimed at petroleum refineries, chemical manufacturers and facilities that handle threshold quantities of specific chemicals.
In the lawsuit filed May 9, 2024 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, Drummond led 13 states and the Arizona Legislature in asking the court to declare the final rule unlawful and vacate the EPA's final action because it exceeded the agency's statutory authority.
"I am pleased the EPA is now taking action to correct what was an egregious overreach," Drummond said. "Rolling back the risk management program rule is in the best interest of businesses and consumers."
The EPA announced its Common Sense Approach to Chemical Accident Prevention rule late last week, noting the proposed changes would reduce regulatory burden by ensuring consistency, avoid duplicative requirements and bolster economic growth.

COLUMBUS, GA - Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr today announced that Kendaryl Rogers (aka "KD"), 33, of Columbus, has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole plus an additional 150 years for the gang-motivated murder of 26-year-old Alex Bales-Davis and the assault of Kathryn Harris.

Carr Secures Life Sentence for Muscogee County Gang Member Convicted of Murder
COLUMBUS, GA - Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr today announced that Kendaryl Rogers (aka "KD"), 33, of Columbus, has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole plus an additional 150 years for the gang-motivated murder of 26-year-old Alex Bales-Davis and the assault of Kathryn Harris. Bales-Davis was killed in a drive-by shooting in Columbus on Aug. 6, 2020. Harriswas also shot multiple times but survived.
Rogers was convicted of all charges brought against him following a three-week Jury trial in September 2025, which exposed the defendant as a well-known and violent shooter for the Rollin' 60s Crips, who terrorized many of the citizens in the Columbus, Georgia, community.
"We're sending a message that gang activity won't be tolerated anywhere in this state," said Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr. "By partnering with local law enforcement, the GBI and FBI, we were able to secure a strong life sentence and, most importantly, justice for the Bales-Davis family. This is exactly why we expanded our Gang Prosecution Unit to Columbus, and we will continue fighting each day to keep Georgians safe."
This case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorneys General Lee M. Stoy, Jr. and Sheneka Terry, who serves as the Attorney General's gang prosecutor for the Columbus region. It was investigated by the Columbus Police Department, the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's (GBI) Gang Task Force, investigators with the Attorney General's Gang Prosecution Unit, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Since 2022, Carr's Gang Prosecution Unit has worked with local, state, and federal law enforcement to secure five murder convictions and eight gang convictions in Columbus alone. This includes the successful prosecution of Rodderick Glanton, Homer Upshaw and Terrance Upshaw, who were each found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 17-year-old Jesse Ransom and 18-year-old Saiveon Pugh and the assault of two other teens, ages 16 and 18.
"This was a senseless act of violence that took a young man's life and put others at risk," said Columbus Police Chief Stoney Mathis. "No sentence can undo that loss, but today there is accountability. I'm proud of the determined work by our officers, our law enforcement partners, and the prosecutors who put in the hard work to bring this case to trial. We remain committed to protecting this community and standing with the families affected by violence"
"We will not turn a blind eye to deliberate gang-related crimes," said Muscogee County Sheriff Greg Countryman. "Kendaryl Rogers found out that life plus 150 is real punishment for his violent crimes. The prosecutors with the Attorney General's Office, along with the courts, sent a strong message to all who engage in gang activity and violent crimes. The violence must stop."
"Gang violence tears at the fabric of our communities and leaves families forever changed," said GBI Director Chris Hosey. "The GBI's Gang Task Force is proud to stand alongside the Attorney General's Office, the Columbus Police Department, the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office, and the FBI to dismantle criminal street gangs and protect the citizens of Georgia. We will continue to aggressively pursue those who use guns and gang affiliation to spread fear and harm in our neighborhoods."
"Gang violence tears at the fabric of our communities and puts innocent lives at risk," said Peter Ellis, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Georgia Field Office. "The FBI is committed to working alongside our local and state partners to identify, investigate, and dismantle violent gang members who terrorize our neighborhoods, and today's sentence ensures this defendant will no longer threaten the citizens of Columbus."
Conviction and Sentencing
Rogers was convicted of the following charges on Sept. 11, 2025:
* 1 count of Malice Murder - O.C.G.A. Sec. 16-5-1(a)
* 2 counts of Felony Murder - O.C.G.A. Sec. 16-5-1(c)
* 2 counts of Aggravated Assault - O.C.G.A. Sec. 16-5-21(a)

* 2 counts of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon During a Crime - O.C.G.A. Sec. 16-11-133(b)(1)
* 1 count of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon - O.C.G.A. Sec. 16-11-131(b)
* 1 count of Criminal Damage to Property in the First Degree - O.C.G.A. Sec. 16-7-22(a)(1)
He was sentenced by a Muscogee County Superior Court Judge on Feb. 19, 2026.

Carr Pushes for Permanent Halt of Medicare and Medicaid Funding for Child Sex-Change Procedures
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is urging the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to stop federal funding for child sex-change procedures.
"Children are not social experiments, they are not science experiments, and they are not political theories. They're children, and they deserve to be protected," said Carr. "We have continued to fight back here in Georgia - taking over 60 legalactions to save women's sports, ban child mutilation, and prohibit taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries. Now, we're proud to support the administration's efforts to end this nonsense once and for all."
In a letter sent to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Carr and 23 other attorneys general issue direct comments on two proposed rules that would restrict government-subsidized sex-change procedures for minors under Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
In the letter, the coalition discusses evidence uncovered in litigation regarding the "Standards of Care 8" (SOC-8), as published by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). The letter extensively discusses evidence showing that WPATH used SOC-8 to advance political and legal goals, changed its treatment recommendations based on politics, departed from well-accepted best practices for creating medical guidelines, hindered the publication of systematic evidence reviews appraising the safety and efficacy of sex-change procedures for minors, and even went so far as deeming castration "medically necessary" for males who self-identify as "eunuchs."
Carr is joined in sending this letter by the attorneys general of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

DOVER, Delaware, Feb. 21 -- Delaware Deputy Attorney General Dorey L. Cole issued the following opinion (No. 26-IB08) on Feb. 19, 2026:
* * *
To: Amy Roe, Ph.D., amywroe@gmail.com
RE: FOIA Petition Regarding the Lead-Based Paint Remediation Certification Committee
Dear Dr. Roe:
We write in response to your correspondence, alleging that the Lead-Based Paint Remediation Certification Committee, Delaware State Housing Authority, violated Delaware's Freedom of Information Act, 29 Del. C. Sec.Sec. 10001-10008 ("FOIA"). We treat this correspondence as a Petition for a determination pursuant to 29Del. C. Sec. 10005 of whether a violation of FOIA has occurred or is about to occur. As discussed more fully herein, we determine that the Committee violated FOIA by failing to meet its burden to demonstrate its compliance with FOIA.
BACKGROUND
The Lead-Based Paint Remediation Certification Committee held a meeting on January 7, 2026, with two participation methods: a physical anchor location and a virtual option through Microsoft Teams. You attended this meeting through virtual means. While you were giving public comments during the meeting, your audio was disconnected, and you believe that the meeting participants at the on-site location could no longer hear you. You allege that although your public comment was captured in full on the meeting recording posted online, shortly after your comment and without any audio from the meeting room, the meeting abruptly ended. You allege that after you were disconnected, the meeting at the on-site location resumed, but you were unable to observe this portion of the meeting, and it was not captured on the meeting recording. This Petition followed.
In the Petition, you seek determinations of whether the Committee violated FOIA by (1) prohibiting your ability to provide public comment; (2) resuming a hybrid public meeting during public comment in the anchor location; and (3) potentially preventing additional public comments after your comment. You also inquire about the remedies for any such violations.
The Committee, through its legal counsel, replied to this Petition on January 29, 2026 ("Response"). The Committee states that a technical failure occurred during the meeting outside of the Committee's control; it believes the disconnection was the result of a local power failure. The Committee asserts that you appeared to have lost audio or were disconnected mid-comment, and after attempting to troubleshoot, the Committee shortly thereafter lost connection to the Microsoft Teams meeting. The Committee states that "[d]ue to the technical failure, the Committee Chair promptly adjourned the meeting."[1] The Committee verifies that its "inability to hear the conclusion of [your] remarks was due to a loss of signal, not any action taken to prevent or limit public comment."[2] The Committee points out that, despite this disconnection, you were able to provide a full public comment, which was captured on the meeting recording. Following the meeting, the Committee asserts that you were contacted about your concerns and offered the opportunity to speak publicly at the next meeting and submit public comments electronically, to be preserved with the meeting records. The Committee asserts the offer was declined.
DISCUSSION
Delaware's FOIA law "was enacted to ensure governmental accountability by providing Delaware's citizens access to open meetings and meeting records of governmental or public bodies, as well as access to the public records of those entities."[3] The public body has the burden of proof to demonstrate compliance with FOIA.[4] In certain circumstances, a sworn affidavit may be required to meet that burden.[5]
FOIA mandates that the meetings of public bodies, with limited exceptions, be open to the public[6] and when certain requirements are satisfied, permits public bodies to hold a meeting virtually.[7] A virtual meeting is a meeting of a public body that one or more members attend using an electronic means of communication. Among other requirements, Section 10006A mandates that the public be permitted "through an electronic means of communication," to "monitor the meeting" and "provide public comment, if the public body is required to accept, or provides an opportunity for, public comment."[8] Under FOIA, every open meeting, including virtual meetings, must include "time for public comment" during the meeting, which may be subject to reasonable restrictions on the length of the public comment period and the "amount of time allotted for each public comment."[9] Section 10006A(d)(4) provides that a "technological problem that prevents or limits public access otherwise required under this chapter does not invalidate a virtual meeting or an action taken at a virtual meeting."
The Committee has the burden of proof to demonstrate its compliance with FOIA and when presenting the essential facts to support its position, those representations must be made under oath.[10] In this case, the Committee's counsel describes the circumstances surrounding the disconnection during your public comment and this meeting, but the statements are not sworn. On this record, we cannot determine the Petition's issues and are compelled to find a violation of FOIA occurred due to the Committee's failure to satisfy its burden. As your complete public comment was recorded, the Committee is recommended to present your full public comment during its next public meeting comment period.[11]
CONCLUSION
For the reasons set forth above, we conclude that the Committee violated FOIA by failing to meet its burden to demonstrate its compliance with FOIA.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Dorey L. Cole, Deputy Attorney General
