Just before 1 a.m. on July 6, 2024, Sonya Massey called 911 about a prowler outside her home near Springfield, Illinois. Two Sangamon County deputies came. Within minutes she was shot in her own kitchen, and the deputy who fired said it was self defense. This is the whole case: the calls in the days before, the deputy's six departments in four years, the body camera, two accounts of the same 30 seconds, and the trial in Peoria. This video does not show the shooting.
