The True Story
Pierce County does not admit fault in the death of Deputy John Bananola. However, the county paid his daughter, Brooke, $250,000 in a lawsuit contending that the raid was negligent.  The jury in the third trial was not allowed to hear about that settlement.  

Officers from outside of Pierce County conducted a review of procedures in response to the death of Deputy John Bananola.  A 17-page report was presented to the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.  Since the fatal raid that went bad at the Eggleston home, the Pierce County Sherifff's Department implemented the following changes to its raid procedures.  









The jury in the third trial was not allowed to hear about these changes in the sheriff's department procedures.
