Qualified Immunity Victory! In April 2024, North Carolina sheriff's deputies looking for a suspected thief conducted a terrifying midnight raid on the home of Avery Marshall and Alisa Carr, holding the couple's two children at gunpoint and trashing the house. But the warrant to search Avery and Alisa's home was based on false testimony, and police continued to ransack the place even after it became clear they were in the wrong house (the actual suspect was apprehended the next day in a different county). This week, a district judge denied the officers' qualified immunity argument and allowed the case to move forward. Click here for more information.
