If you want to rob a business that has a security guard, first you kill the security guard. This is done without even considering that this might be murder. It is no more than smashing a big window.
Jurors were promised they will hear from Joseph "Renegade" Wilson, who was in the SUV with Barthelemy and Adams. Prosecutors said Wilson will testify that Barthelemy stated his intention to kill a police officer after spotting Smith outside the po-boy shop.
It was a targeted shooting of a Police Officer.
