A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stated that the government was protected from liability under an exception to a federal law concerning wrong-house raids. However, the panel reversed a previous decision that had granted the agent immunity. The judges wrote that, viewing the evidence favourably to the plaintiffs, a jury could conclude the agent failed to take reasonable steps to avoid error, violating the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights. The FBI’s Atlanta office stated that the agency does not comment on personnel matters. The FBI team apologised after the raid and left for the correct address, with the team leader attributing the error to a personal GPS device. The FBI had been searching for a suspected gang member in a nearby house. The family’s attorney, Patrick Jaicomo, said his clients were pleased with the ruling.
