'Capital murder' for Ryan Frederick

Ryan Frederick, who shot and killed a police officer during a confused, unannounced middle-of-the-night raid on his home that turned up a personal-use amount of marijuana, may be charged with "capital murder" says the prosecutor in the case. That's because Detective Jarrod Shivers was ... umm ... standing in the yard, not breaking through the door at all, contrary to earlier reports. Apparently, that's why Frederick was denied bond.

Radley Balko, who has been following the case, has the lowdown on the authorities' changing story. Read it and catch up before the prosecutor tries to tell us that Frederick actually hunted down Detective Shivers and shot him in the bath.
