The full Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals Wednesday declined to rehear the case of a McKinney woman seeking compensation after a SWAT team destroyed her home in 2020.
An appeals court reversed a woman's landmark court win forcing a Texas city to pay up after a SWAT team wrecked her house. But her lawyers say she'll still get paid.
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it was necessary for police to use the measures to resolve a standoff in Vicki Baker s home and that she should not be compensated for the damage.
