TV HOST: Detective, the banter, the conversation between the decedent and the decedent's partner and ICE of what significance of what relevance does that get factored into the totality of the circumstances? KEVIN DAVIS (Expert Witness): Well, we certainly look at it. You know, there was, I don't know, conversational tone up until the point that she accelerated into the vehicle, but largely that conversation pre and post use of force is irrelevant, as is the officer's tactics. You know, when the officer moves, I mean, there are no yellow footprints on the roadway where he should stand. And this changes based on her movement of the vehicle. For instance, he's off to the front right side of the vehicle. The passenger front, when she reverses her vehicle, she swings him then across the windshield across the front of her vehicle, so that positioning changes. So you know, conversation, tactics, et cetera. She was given clear verbal warnings to turn the car off and exit the vehicle and did not comply with those commands prior to the use of force. HOST: So that the two, meaning the two women were seeking to impede ICE, I think is pretty clear from the totality of what we've reviewed so far, but that doesn't warrant a death sentence.

DAVIS: No, but oftentimes these cases start out with an innocuous behavior. Could even be something like jaywalking. And then the subject, based on their actions, turns the encounter into a deadly force situation. So the original you know, blocking of the vehicle and all of that is factored in, but ultimately, it's, you know, at the moment that he fired the trigger based on the totality of the circumstances. And she changed this encounter when she accelerated towards the agent.
