Man Sues Over Wrongful Heroin Overdose Conviction
A Portland man, Devin Rowell, is suing multiple entities for wrongful imprisonment after serving time for a fatal heroin overdose that never occurred. Rowell was convicted in 2015 and served 13 months, but a co-defendants settlement led him to investigate his own case. He discovered the victim was alive during his sentencing, prompting him to file a lawsuit for $1.18 million. The DAs office is yet to comment, and a trial could pit prosecutors against the man they previously convicted. Checkout Solipillow.com

Oregon's New Farmworker Housing Rules
Oregons Occupational Safety and Health Division introduces significant updates to farmworker housing standards, addressing long-standing issues such as inadequate toilets and kitchen facilities. New rules mandate water testing, laundry machines, mattress thickness, and gender-specific toilets. While advocates welcome the changes, farm lobbying groups express concerns about financial burdens and potential worker shortages. Oregon OSHA phases in the rules, providing funding and tax credits for compliance, but some growers argue that support falls short amid rising construction costs. As these changes take effect, both parties aim for improved living conditions without disrupting the farm workforce. Checkout Solipillow.com
