Major, Ph.D. - Nothing stirs up passions more than the controversy generated when parents are at war over the custody of a child.

And this proved insufficient to persuade a jury who found the defendant "Not Guilty".

The armed raid had been staged to seize Mrs. Adolf’s eight-year-old daughter, who wasn’t at home — although her three terrified siblings were. According to Mrs. Adolf’s attorney Michael Humiston, the order had been issued because he had advised caseworkers of his intention to monitor their visits to Mrs. Adolf’s home in order "to protect Janet’s rights."
