ONLY one indictment??

JUST ONE??????

The no-knock warrant likely covers the a**es of the other officers there - sadly, the prosecution would have a steep, steep hill to climb to prove that the other officers broke the law when they were acting in accordance with a warrant. But the officer who was indicted was the one who presented a false affidavit to get the warrant in the first place. So, she's (rightly) screwed.

CNN did save the following for the end of the article:

In October, a state grand jury called the drug investigation "hurried" and "sloppy," but found no criminal intent by any of the officers involved and declined to return any indictments. Autry resigned after the grand jury findings were released.

Autry's attorney said the federal government is ignoring the grand jury's findings and said his client is not to blame for the toddler's injuries.

"[Autry] is being made the lone target for the poorly designed and implemented search and seizure policies of her prior department and a since disbanded drug task force," Jeff Brickman said in a statement.

But she probably is screwed. The Feds have an unbelievably high conviction rate.
