An expert's opinion-
"I just don't think under the circumstances that he was justified in using lethal force to stop her," said John Picerno, a criminal defense attorney with 32 years of experience handling officer-involved shootings.
Picerno argued Good's actions in the video appeared evasive rather than threatening.
"When the car starts to back up, that should be the first indication to law enforcement that, A, she's not intent on harming us and, B, she's about getting ready to flee," Picerno said...
...Picerno said that the agent's training should have led him to back up from the SUV rather than carry out deadly force.
"Officers are trained that it is the very last resort that they should use lethal force," Picerno said. "It's something that never should have happened, and in this case, it looks like it was preventable."
(It isn't clear if the agent will be charged)
Picerno said Good's family could potentially file a civil lawsuit.
