The state Department of Corrections has dropped its action to collect about $120,000 in payments from Eric Cable, according to the American Civil Liberties Union-New Hampshire.
Likewise, Cable has dropped a medical malpractice lawsuit against the Department of Corrections that alleged faulty medical care resulted in a loss of his peripheral vision.
“Both sides agreed to drop their lawsuits. Eric Cable is no longer being sued for the cost of his incarceration,” said Ariana Schechter, a spokeswoman for the ACLU.
Gov. Chris Sununu last week signed House Bill 518, which repealed the law that allowed the state to sue people for the cost of their incarceration.
