## Resource

A trauma surgeon, Dr. Kris Johnson, is facing up to 20 years in prison after Phoenix police shot him in 2022—claiming he fired first. But forensic audio experts from Earshot say the bodycam audio doesn’t support that story: no bullet whizzes are heard. Johnson admits he fired a warning shot thinking someone was breaking into his home, unaware the unmarked cars were police. Prosecutors are refusing plea deals, seemingly determined to make an example of him—even as new evidence emerges that the officers failed to identify themselves. The trial’s been delayed, and the audio analysis may be the key to exposing a case built on ignored facts and missed opportunities.
