"It’s a shame she didn’t live on IN where she could have legally shot them."

From the article, it sounds like the Indiana Supreme Court has overturned that right and citizens have no right to resist an unlawful entry by law enforcement. Serfdom is here.

The legal right to shoot anybody breaking into your home exists everywhere and is the oldest idea of Anglo-Saxon common law. No jury in America would ever convict anybody for it.

This actually happened once in Western Md. a few years after the drug war got started and "no-knock" raids were just getting started, several dead fibbies and state cops, and a jury took less than half an hour to find the defendant innocent on all charges and, near as I can tell, that had the effect of shutting down no-knock raids for some time afterwards. That was well before the internet age however and I've not been able to find any reference to the story on the net in recent years.

Can you give me a link to that article?
Alternatively/additionally, I believe the original decision -- which prompted the "citizens may shoot police engaged in illegal activities" law -- was, in itself, a felony; therefore, I should like to get the contact information for an IN Grand Jury. (Presentments are your friend.)
