A federal jury is being summoned back to court this morning to hear opening statements in a civil lawsuit filed by two brothers who claim that Harris County sheriff's deputies stormed their home without probable cause and wrongfully arrested them.
The lawsuit, filed by Sean Carlos Ibarra, 37, and Erik Adam Ibarra, 28, exposed embarrassing but unrelated e-mails sent and received by former Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal, who resigned Friday.
The Ibarras are suing Sheriff Tommy Thomas, four deputies involved in their arrests and Harris County, alleging their civil rights were violated when the deputies arrested them and destroyed film in their camera after one of them photographed an officer at a drug raid taking place at their next-door neighbor's house.
