NYC Woman Dies During Botched Police Raid
New York (AP) - A 57-year-old woman died of an apparent heart attack Friday after police detonated a flash grenade and handcuffed her during a raid on the wrong apartment.
Alberta Spruill, a longtime city employee, was pronounced dead about an hour after a dozen heavily armed officers broke into her home at dawn. "We're deeply saddened," said Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly. "It's a tragedy. This should not have happened."
An informant said that Spruill's sixth-floor Harlem apartment was being used by an armed drug dealer to stash cocaine and heroin, police officials said.
If judges are willing to issue warrants on the basis of hearsay which is not given (by the original speaker) under oath or affirmation, what is the point of the "oath or affirmation" requirement in the Constitution?
