When Australian woman Justine Damond called 911 on the night of July 15 2017 to report a disturbance behind her house in Minneapolis, she would never have thought that she would end up being the victim.

Nearly 2 years later and the police officer who shot and killed Justine has been found guilty of 3rd degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter.

Today we speak to a reporter who was in the courtroom when the verdict was handed down and find out how this history making case made it to this point.
