The quick answer is...NO.

The feds declined to prosecute.

A state case against Horiuchi was tossed out of court. The Ninth Circuit (as I remember) cited the “supremacy clause” of the federal government over state jurisdiction.

Top FBI official Larry Potts took an early retirement.

There are rumors that the sniper (Horiuchi) was also present at Waco during the Branch Daviudian standoff.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Horiuchi is retired by now.

I have always found this incident troubling not because of any sympathies for the Weavers, but because if this was a local or state agency like the LAPD, NYPD or any state police agency that engaged in the exact same acts in the same situation, they would have been investigated and prosecuted by the feds.

I love law enforcement. I just don’t like double standards.

I heard the same thing. He was supposed to either have driven or been in one of the two tanks they used to break in the walls at Mt Carmel
