  • Quote:"Dupnik's rationale for the "high risk" operation is contradicted by Michael Storie, the attorney representing Jose's killers.

    What this means, apparently, is that a SWAT team was sent to carry out a combat-style raid against a home the team believed was occupied only by a young mother and her four-year-old child."
