This week on Hill of Justice, hosts Jerome and Victor Hill sit down for a raw and emotional conversation about the heartbreaking case of Roger Fortson, a U.S. Airman who was fatally shot in his own home by a deputy responding to a vague disturbance call.

Jerome and Victor unpack the layers of this tragic incident, from the questionable police response to the deeper issues of race, fear, bias, and gun ownership in America. With empathy and critical insight, they explore what accountability should really look like, and why intent matters when lives are on the line.
