Published | Video Starts at 01:27

As prosecutors, we look at the facts and evidence in each case and determine if criminal charges are warranted based on the law. We do not review the case to determine if administrative policies were followed. We follow the law. The question in this case was whether the officer's decision to shoot was justified under Arizona law. And let me direct you to some of the applicable statutes. They include ARS 1304, 405, 406, 409, 410, and 411. (01:27–01:35)
