Legal Eagle believes there is sufficient evidence, statutes, and case law to find the Ice Agent who killed Good guilty of Murder

Obviously I don't know about either the federal or state law on murder, but assuming the principles are the same as in the UK, intentional homicide is murder unless the defendant has a lawful excuse, in this case self-defence. The elements of self-defence will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but generally in order to convict the jury has to be sure that the defendant did not believe their life was in immediate danger if they didn't use potentially deadly force to defend themselves (whether the belief has to be reasonable, or merely sincere, will vary according to the jurisdiction, I think).

Since to convict the jury has to be persuaded to the criminal standard that reason the defendant killed the victim wasn't that they thought they were acting in legitimate self-defence, and since the judge will (at least in the UK) remind the jury that they're considering a fast-moving and highly charged situation, where the defendant didn't have time to reach a calm and considered decision, juries will tend to acquit police officers acting in the course of their duties, since, in effect, they're being asked "how do you think you'd have reacted in their shoes?"

But based on what I've seen from the videos, I think that, in the face of it, there's certainly more than enough evidence on which a reasonable jury could convict, depending on what they made of all the evidence in the case.

ETA: This, from Reuters, provides an interesting, and somewhat alarming, insight into voters' attitudes (not necessarily voters who are committed MAGA supporters). Video of Minneapolis shooting convinced these Trump voters it was justifiable.

They're answering the question "do you think the shooting was justified?" rather than "do you think it was lawful?" and coming out with stuff like

Amanda Taylor, 52, an insurance firm employee near Savannah, Georgia, who considers herself "always pro-police," said the agent was "protecting the community and protecting himself" when he fired at Good.

Taylor, who voted for Democratic President Joe Biden in 2020 and has had mixed feelings about Trump's economic policies and governing style, said the moment in the video when Good defied agents' orders to stop her car showed the agent she was a potential public threat.
"If they're running from you, what else are they gonna do?" she said.

and

Several other voters also argued that Good's own actions led to her death. "When I saw the video only one word came to mind, and that is 'disrespectful': another person failed to respect the law," said Herman Sims, 66, a night operations manager for a trucking company in Dallas, Texas.
"We won't ever know what would have happened if she kept going. Would she have run over someone else in the street blocks away?" Sims said.

IOW "Shot while trying to escape. Just in case...".

More here: Costa Rican family demands answers after ICE deportation and death: ‘Have you ever smelled a cadaver?’

I've worked with patients with skin ulcers. In cases of criminal levels of care.. that is care that is barely minimal: Not washing or turning or cleaning soiled diapers of unconscious patients, skin ulcers can necrotize quickly and those wounds will start to become gangrenous and smell "cadaverous". It's entirely believable given his condition.

I hope his family had a post mortem performed, so when the war crime trials start indictments for these criminals have the forensic evidence to back up the death penalty. (This happened in Texas which still has the death penalty. Live by the sword, die by the sword.)

How Trump Is Using Russia-Style Propaganda Tactics to Justify State Violence

People often ask me how propaganda, disinformation, and narrative control work in Russia, how power is maintained through centralized narratives, the criminalization of dissent, the propaganda networks, and the erasure of state violence by recasting critics as “enemies.” These days, I don’t need...

olgalautman.substack.com

It was striking how quickly the narrative around Renee Good’s killing hardened in a way that resembled Russia’s information playbook. Right-wing media amplified lies about her actions, political leaders echoed them, and social media platforms circulated propaganda and disinformation until contradictory facts were pushed out of the conversation. Anyone relying on outlets like Fox News and other right-wing networks, their podcasts, or aligned influencers encountered a version of events completely detached from reality — one in which an unarmed woman was recast as a violent extremist, video evidence was ignored or selectively reframed, and state violence was presented as heroism. This is how closed information systems function, where facts become optional, and propaganda replaces truth.

A U.S. Border Patrol agent kneed a man at least five times in the face while several other agents held him pinned facedown on the pavement in south Minneapolis on Friday, according to multiple witnesses who shared videos with the Reformer.

Man, all that self-defense is getting intense!

6 Minnesota prosecutors resign over DOJ push to investigate ICE shooting victim’s widow: Reports

The top federal prosecutor on the Minnesota fraud case reportedly resigned Tuesday, according to The New York Times.

Joseph H. Thompson, the lead prosecutor on the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation into social services fraud in the state, served as the first assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Minnesota.

The Times reported Thompson and five fellow federal prosecutors resigned over the DOJ’s attempts to investigate the widow of Renee Good, the 37-year-old woman shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer last week, and a lack of interest in investigating the officer.

i've had to put on my "shut your mouth" mask when I see people claiming she should have complied - obviously they're clueless. She DID comply, and she was moving her vehicle when the ICE agent killed her and called her a "fucking bitch"

We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing

Immigration agents have put civilians’ lives at risk using more than their guns.

An agent in Houston put a teenage citizen into a chokehold, wrapping his arm around the boy’s neck, choking him so hard that his neck had red welts hours later. A black-masked agent in Los Angeles pressed his knee into a woman’s neck while she was handcuffed; she then appeared to pass out. An agent in Massachusetts jabbed his finger and thumb into the neck and arteries of a young father who refused to be separated from his wife and 1-year-old daughter. The man’s eyes rolled back in his head and he started convulsing.

After George Floyd’s murder by a police officer six years ago in Minneapolis — less than a mile from where an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed Renee Good last week — police departments and federal agencies banned chokeholds and other moves that can restrict breathing or blood flow.

Four Oglala detainees located, three still in ICE custody - ICT

The four Oglala Lakota men detained by ICE in South Minneapolis have been partially identified, according to a Tuesday night statement from Oglala Sioux Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out.

Star Comes Out said as of Jan. 13, the individuals last names have not been released, only first names. Tribal leaders are demanding full, comprehensive information from the Department of Homeland Security.

Additionally, the tribe is demanding the immediate release of all enrolled tribal citizens held by immigration, written assurances that ICE will stop detaining Native Americans, and immediate government-to-government consultation.

At least one of the men has been released, but tribal leaders said the remaining three are being held at Fort Snelling, a site historically used as a concentration camp for Native people during the Dakota removal period.

ICE Deletes Rape Protection for Trans Immigrants - The American Prospect

The agency this month altered more contracts with private prison companies to remove care and protection measures it took advocates years to win.

prospect.org

The Trump regime is erasing the scant protections in place for transgender people in immigration prison, including safeguards against rape, a review of new contract modifications between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and private prison companies shows.

As of January 5, multiple detention centers revoked safety measures and halted medical care for transgender prisoners, including at Bluebonnet Detention Facility and El Valle Detention Facility, both in Texas and run by Management & Training Corporation; Arizona’s Eloy Detention Center and New Mexico’s Torrance County Detention Facility, both owned and operated by CoreCivic; and Folkston ICE Processing Center in Georgia.
