Jury Rules Against Leawood Family Whose Home Was Raided In Bungled Marijuana Search

The judge had nothing to do with the verdict, they jury were the ones that decided the case.

I do feel that they should have won their case though. If the police did not know that their field tests were not accurate that is due to negligence on the police department. If their officers had been properly trained they would have known that false positives do happen and could have send the "wet green vegetation" from the trash to the lab for more accurate tests. Instead the tests were destroyed so there is actually no evidence that they actually were used or that they in showed false positives.

Here is a previous article that gives more details about their case.
