@MediaLawProf image description: clipping from the article reads “Illegal raids contribute to death of newspaper co-owner
Stressed beyond her limits and overwhelmed by hours of shock and grief after illegal police raids on her home and the Marion County Record newspaper office Friday, 98-year-old newspaper co-owner Joan Meyer, otherwise in good health for her age, collapsed Saturday afternoon and died at her home.”

@MediaLawProf image description continued: “She had not been able to eat after police showed up at the door of her home Friday with a search warrant in hand. Neither was she able to sleep Friday night.
She tearfully watched during the raid as police not only carted away her computer and a router used by an Alexa smart speaker but also dug through her son Eric's personal bank and investments statements to photograph them.
Electronic cords were left in a jumbled”

@batyalee @chris @MediaLawProf the “text” in the original post is really an image (screenshot of text). The machine readers reading text for people who can’t see the screen don’t see the letters, I.e. can’t read it. But can read the Alt description.

at what point can this be considered domestic terrorism orchestrated by the state?

or an extrajudicial assassination?

Show threadSam AdamsAug 13, 2023
@your_huckleberry Just off the top of my head I'd say negligent homicide, elder abuse, violation of rights under color of law, perjury for the warrant, assault, theft, malicious mischief, violation of the Wire Tap Act, conspiracy to violate the laws of the United States.

Show threadPhil LandmeierAug 13, 2023

@MediaLawProf I hope some intrepid lawyers are watching this and considering a lawsuit, and that an intrepid federal prosecutor is considering a civil rights case.

Nice thing about a lawsuit is the burden of proof is lower than in a criminal case and the allowed discovery broader. And, evidence uncovered in a lawsuit can be used later to bring criminal charges.

The only fix for this police department and city government is to bleed out their budget with a massive lawsuit. It's the only way to get their attention.
