Bodycam video of the shooting was played for the jury on Tuesday.
Prosecutors said deputies shot Williams after being called to an attempted murder scene where Williams ran away from them.
They said one deputy shot Williams after he flashed a gun in his hand and a second shot after Williams pointed a gun at her.

Defense attorneys said Williams wasn’t given any time to comply with law enforcement, even though Williams ran away and was told to drop the gun nine times.
Williams’ attorneys still wanted to show he was never a threat to the deputies who confronted him.
It also came out in court that Williams never actually fired a shot at deputies despite original reports.
