Throughout the trial, prosecutors argued that Siao was aware repossession was possible because he had fallen behind on vehicle payments. They further contended that Siao bypassed a handgun located in his bedroom and instead retrieved a rifle equipped with a suppressor before confronting the repossession team.

Siao had previously testified that he believed Click and the repossession crew were attempting to steal his car. He claimed he fired his weapon only to scare them away, believing they were burglars.
