Jury Rules Mississippi Officers Justified in Deadly Shooting at Wrong House

A Mississippi jury has ruled that two police officers were justified in fatally shooting Ismael Lopez while serving a warrant at the wrong house. The officers had mistakenly gone to Lopez's house instead of a neighbor's. The jury rejected a civil lawsuit seeking $20 million in compensation filed by Lopez's widow, finding that the officers did not violate Lopez's civil rights. The case had gained attention because the city of Southaven initially argued that Lopez, who was living in the U.S. illegally, had no civil rights. The judge rejected that argument, stating that constitutional rights apply to all persons.
