I dug up the story behind that 65 year old grandfather.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/criminal-justice/ct-shot...

Prosecutors accuse him of shooting his passenger, but he claims that another car pulled up next to him and shot his passenger instead. In either case shotspotter both correctly identified a gunshot and the location of the gunshot, so what exactly did they do wrong here? By the defendant's own admission the gunshot that triggered the alert was real! Unless crucial details are being omitted somewhere it seems like a hatchet job to me.

Great points. Thanks for doing that research. I should’ve done it myself and I am embarrassed that I did not.
