Deputy Rabalais, with six months of experience at the time, was aware of Jacobs’s suicide risk but followed orders from his superiors without question. He failed to conduct checks on Jacobs as frequently as required, which was considered negligence. However, his conduct was deemed objectively reasonable, and he was granted qualified immunity.
