Judge Calls Palm Beach Shooting Trial "Slipshod"

A federal judge has labeled the trial of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputy-involved shooting as "slipshod".

Seth Adams was shot and killed by deputy Michael Custer on May 17, 2012, outside of his family’s nursery in Loxahatchee. Sgt. Michael Custer told the jury Wednesday that Seth Adams grabbed him by the neck and refused to comply with his orders to get on the ground. The events quickly spiraled into the officer shooting the man.

Palm Beach County Custer is expected to go into specific detail about the shooting throughout the trial. 

Adams' parents are suing Custer and the sheriff's office for unspecified millions, alleging the shooting was unjustified.
