SONYA MASSEY Case BREAKDOWN ⚖️ GUILTY Verdict Explained & What’s Next

🎬 THE BULLET, THE BLAME, AND THE BACKPEDAL — In this hard-hitting episode of West Virginia Wire, we honor Sonya Massey — a 36-year-old mother, who called 911 for help inside her own home… only to be fatally shot by a responding deputy.

We dig into:
• The chilling body-cam footage and timeline of how a call for help turned into a tragedy.

• The system failures: how a deputy with red flags in his record got this assignment.

• The verdict, the aftermath — and what “justice” really means when a life is lost and trust in law enforcement is shaken.

This is a segment you’ll want to watch, share, and let sit with you — because the questions we raise here cut deep: How safe are you when you call for help? Who answers that call — and how are they vetted? Who bears the cost when the system backpedals?

• Are you surprised by the outcome of the case? Why or why not?
• What would you like us to report on next — more on police reform, mental-health responses, law-enforcement accountability, or something we haven’t yet covered?
