He said if he were prosecuting the case, he wouldn't deal with the first shot. It's too murky. Was she driving forward or trying to get away? Did the ICE agent fear for his life or didn't he?
Instead, Weisseman would focus on shots two and three, which were fired from the side of the car, reaching through the driver-side window and pointblank in the victim's head.
It's indisputable that the ICE agent was *not* in danger at that time. Combined with his calling Renee a "F-ing B" (on video) as her SUV rolled ahead, it would be easy to make the case that he fired his gun the second and third times out of hostility or rage or frustration, but certainly not as an act of self-defense.
Absolutely the second and third shots were motivated by rage, hostility, and/or frustration...and not as an act of self-defense.
One thing though, the autopsy seems to indicate that two of the shots hit her in the chest and one seems to have hit an elbow.
NOT THAT CHANGES THE ESSENCE OF THE POINT YOU WERE MAKING.
