In the second episode of the “Broken Doors” podcast, a family confronts a sheriff after a deadly no-knock raid.
Katty Huertas/The Washington PostAll this week on “Post Reports,” we’re airing episodes of the “Broken Doors” podcast, a six-part investigative series about how no-knock warrants are deployed in the American justice system — and the consequences for communities when accountability is flawed at every level. Hosted by Jenn Abelson and Nicole Dungca.
The second episode of this series is called “‘Why y’all had to go in that way?’” In this episode, we return to a rural county in Mississippi.
Around 1 a.m. on Oct. 28, 2015, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office hurled a battering ram into the home of Ricky Keeton to carry out a no-knock search warrant. After the raid turned deadly, Keeton’s family confronted the sheriff — and began secretly recording.
