The shooting of the mother with the baby in her arms was an intentional act. The government sniper drew what he saw before he fired his shot at her, it was a woman holding a baby.
The rules were changed by the feds before going after Weaver. What happened was really just a government hit team intentionally killing a mom.
That came out at trial, about the drawing made by the government sniper showing the mom behind a screen type door.
It was no accident whatsoever, a deliberate shot made at an unarmed woman looking out towards whatever unknown evil men were killing her dog, her son and shooting at them.
The local prosocutor should have tried the entire lot, and the government sniper should have gotten the death penalty.

He may have drawn a picture after shooting her for a report but I don't see how he could have drawn it before shooting her. She was shot several hours after her son was killed. His body lay in a shed several yards from the house. Randy and the family friend had gone out to see it. (Why I don't know) They were running back to the house, Sandy was holding the door open for them, Randy ran through first and the friend was going through the door when Horiuchi shot hitting Sandy and the baby.
I agree with your legal points.
