Miller v. Salvaggio Stonewall until Ruby Johnson dies and dismiss due to mootness.

I love Merb saying that if the police, prosecutors and the court all sign off on a warrant that proves probable cause.   And blocked mentioning Ruby Johnson  v.  DPD Detective Gary Staab.  A 77-year-old grandmother was subjected to a raid by a Denver Police Department (DPD) SWAT team.   The police, prosecutors and the court blamed each other for the manifestly deficient search warrant saying the other parties should have stopped it and now are responsible.   

“Detective Staab had no grounds to seek a search warrant,” said Mark Silverstein, ACLU of Colorado Legal Director. “His supervisor should have vetoed it. The district attorney should not have green-lighted it, the judge should have rejected it and the SWAT team should have stayed home.”
