Wow, I didn’t think anybody was ever charged.

Not just charged, but convicted, sentenced, jailed and the sentences upheld on appeal.This sad case from Little Rock, in which the convictions of police who lied to obtain warrants, was upheld on appeal, is also another particularly interesting and illustrative example. I don't track these cases full-time anymore, but I know a couple of professional responsibility standards/internal affairs folks who do, and I'll see what they think are interesting recent developments.

I don't yet know of a case in which a life sentence or the federal death penalty was applied, but there's the pending Indiana case where that may be the case, or in which a state murder charge may be brought instead. I'll keep you posted.

A large % of folks are just natural born jackboot lickers. It was ever thus.
