@AlphaNews Rational folks should be able to see what happened here: she was actively protesting, her partner kept escalating, and she clearly struck the officer. Tragic, yes — but the outcome came from a chain of bad decisions they created themselves.
@AlphaNews Remember when they said they were just an innocent couple driving home, not bothering anyone, and that they definitely didn't hit the officer with their car? As usual, give it a few short days and liberals lies always fall apart
@AlphaNews What is there even left to say? You see the antagonizing. You see the command of the wife saying drive baby drive. You see the acceleration. You see the impact. Even if you accept that she was trying to run away, she accelerated into the officer. It’s open and shut self defense.
Renee Good’s wife could be facing serious federal charges because prosecutors can argue that she actively helped cause a violent encounter with federal officers. Even though she was not driving, her instruction to move the vehicle matters under federal law. When a car is used against an officer, it is treated as a deadly weapon, and giving verbal direction can legally make someone responsible for the outcome.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 111 and 18 U.S.C. § 2, she could be charged with aiding and abetting an assault on a federal officer. These laws allow prosecutors to treat someone who encouraged or facilitated the act the same as the person who carried it out. If serious injury occurred, the potential prison exposure increases significantly.
Prosecutors can also argue that the instruction to drive forward showed intent to cause extreme harm. If that argument is accepted, the same statute allows the charge to be elevated toward attempted murder of a federal officer, which can carry decades in prison or even a life sentence.
She may also face conspiracy charges under 18 U.S.C. § 371. Federal law does not require a long or detailed plan. Even a brief shared decision to resist or flee, combined with the act of driving, can be enough to satisfy the elements of conspiracy.
Additional charges for obstructing or resisting federal officers under 18 U.S.C. § 1501 and 18 U.S.C. § 111 would almost certainly apply. These charges focus on interference with federal officers performing their duties.
Although she is not criminally responsible for the driver’s death itself, that death will still matter in court. Prosecutors can use it to show recklessness and that deadly force was foreseeable, which can substantially increase sentencing. In simple terms, the moment she told the driver to move forward, the law stopped viewing her as a bystander and began treating her as an active participant.
@AlphaNews Good to hear her 'wife' say "Dive! Drive!" because that makes her an accessory to the felony her partner committed and now she can be charged.
