Police raided the house on the possibility that her brother [[another murder suspect) was hiding there. Sorry people if you are going to associate with the wrong people than you better expect things to happen.

Probably will get thrown out. It's hard enough when police get the completely wrong house by mistaken address, tear the place apart, and the owner ends up fighting for damage restitution for years in court.

There's an awesome story about a guy who that happened to in Washington D.C. [[or one of it's suburbs, I forgot exactly where.)

So the police break into his house, smash the door down, throw his family to the ground, tear the place apart for drugs. They got the wrong house.

After a month of attempting futilely to get the police department to pay for a new door, the city fines him for not maintaining his house properly. See, his door was all smashed in, which violates code.

Detroit police officers raiding a house on Beverly Street in Oak Park on March 2 also were seeking a murder suspect, according to the suit. Detroit homicide officers also used the flash-bang grenade -- "unnecessarily," according to the suit -- and had in tow a camera crew from the A&E network program "The First 48."
