Damn! 3 in Louisiana. By the way No-Knock warrants are VERY rarely granted in this state and that is why I often remind posters here to pay attention to where you live.

Title: Burbank Commons Apartment

Type: Raid on an innocent suspect.

State: LA

Description: Eyewitnesses claim that SWAT officers raided an apartment in Baton Rouge, Louisiana looking for marijuana. At least one person said that he witnessed an officer throw a flash grenade over a balcony and several witnesses were distressed by the noise. While the Baton Rouge Police Department declined to comment on the raid, the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's office did confirm that they assisted in the action. No drugs were found and no arrests were made. Source: J.J. Alcantara, "Police officers raid Burbank Commons apartment," LSU Daily Reveill

On September 24, 1999, police in Sallisaw, Oklahoma procure a no-knock warrant on the home of Eugene Barrett, suspected of trafficking methamphetamine. As the heavily-armed convoy of vehicles descends upon his home, Barrett believes he's under attack, and opens fire. Barrett's attorney claims he shot in self-defense. One bullet strikes and kills Oklahoma Highway Patrol Officer David Eales. A search of Barrett's property produced a variety of firearms and resulted in the seizure of materials related to the production and use of methamphetamine. Barrett's first state trial ended with a deadlocked jury, while his 2nd trial resulted in a manslaughter and assault conviction. In December 2005, Barrett was formally sentenced to death for Eales' death in federal court. Barrett now appeals his convictions, as well as his death sentence.Sources: Donna Hales, "Jury hands cop killer death sentence," Muskogee Phoenix, November 18, 2005. Michael Smith, "Death for trooper's killer, jury says,"



Well that's a bit scary that you can be tried for the same thing in federal court if they don't like the results in the state trial, and then punish you harsher than the conviction in state trial warrants.
