There was a clear violation on the part of the police and the jedge that issued the warrant. I hope they are ALL prosecuted for murder.

Ex-Atlanta cops get prison for drug raid killing

“It is my fervent hope the Atlanta Police Department will take to heart what has happened here,” U.S. District Judge Julie Carnes said. At the close of an emotional two-day hearing, Carnes sentenced former officers Gregg Junnier, Jason R. Smith and Arthur Bruce Tesler to between 5 and 10 years in prison. ...

Carnes imposed the most severe sentence — 10 years — on Smith, 36, who obtained the illegal, no-knock search warrant allowing officers to batter down 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston’s door.

The only miscarriage of justice here was that the Judge was not prosecuted and convicted.

Thank you for the follow-up.
