At the 00:00:59 mark she starts heading for the desk drawer and fires at 00:01:05. It does seem clear that when she started toward the desk drawer and right up until she shoot him in the back that she was carrying out a plan, as in she decided to shoot him at about 58 seconds then shot him 7 seconds later. I'm not sure what the time constraints are on premeditation.

I would argue that in her line of work her weapon be in a holster on her person at all times. But that's me.
What seems clear to me is that she was PO'd at the man. She opened the desk drawer, fumbled around in the drawer for a few seconds then grabbed her pistol and shot the man, reportedly in the back.

She should probably get ready for the wrongful death civil suit. If she has assets it shouldn't be hard to find someone to take it on contingency.

Carey then pulls a gun from a desk and fires once, fatally striking Williams in the back. Carey testified that the shooting was self-defense.

but why did she grab the gun to begin with. he wasnt a threat.

In the video it appears she grabbed the gun specifically to shoot that man.
