A Supreme Court precedent may complicate the defense of the ICE officer who killed Renee Good in Minneapolis last week. Legal expert Cynthia Lee noted that the high court rejected the narrow “moment of threat” standard for deadly force, emphasizing that courts must consider the totality of circumstances. Witness accounts and video evidence appear to contradict the government’s claims that Good posed an imminent threat, suggesting the shooting may be legally indefensible under established Fourth Amendment standards.
