Answer to Question 1

The court stated that, It appears the EEOC was basing its whole case on some
early statements made by an officer of the company coupled with the facts the Sherri Scott had not been hired.. The court pointed out that Ms. Scott was a two-time felon with convictions for housebreaking and larceny. And, in footnote 3 (not presented in the edited version of the case) the court noted that Ms. Scott was sent back to prison on September 21, 2009 for a new conviction for felonious assault. Certainly it is critically important to our country to promote the rehabilitation of criminal offenders by providing educational and employment opportunities after they serve their sentences. And, it is clear that a blanket company policy not to hire any person with a criminal record would have a disparate impact on a class of African Americans. With such an important systemic issue for society, the EEOC should have made certain that it had a solid case before filing the complaint and making its public assertions about Peoplemark. The court found the EEOC liable for attorney fees and costs for the period no later than the end of 2009 when the EEOC knew it could not produce an expert.
