[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI, the defense attorney won't be making your whiny arguments.[/quote]

The defense attorney will win because he will have all of the evidence and a jury will never decide unanimously to convict based on that evidence.[/quote]

When the prosecutor shows the jury that Ross was not in front of the car at the time he fired the first shot, his defense attorney will have a hard time explaining why it was reasonable to fear for his life.

His defense attorney will also have to explain why, even if he was in front of the car, Barnes v. Felix does not apply.  To refresh your recollection, Barnes was a 9-0 US Supreme Court decision rendered in 2025 that stands for the proposition that an officer may not intentionally or recklessly place himself in a situation that causes him to fear for his life and then subsequently claim the use of deadly force was justified.  Barnes specifically involved an officer who stepped in front of a vehicle.  There is NO dispute that Ross stepped in front of the vehicle.

Ross is also going to take a beating on why he deliberately walked in front of her car not once but twice, going against all national police safety training about interacting with vehicles.[/quote]

Violating a policy is not breaking the law.[/quote]

Shooting twice into the driver side window after the perceived danger had passed...is.[/quote]

The jury will decide that based on the totality of the evidence.[/quote]

Agreed, that's what needs to happen. His defense attorney will have the opportunity to make his case. It'll take years to play out, of course.[/quote]
