After shooting suspects, three Salt Lake County officers refused to talk to prosecutors. Their attorney says it is a matter of trust.

Green is one of three officers in 2018 who did not give statements to prosecutors reviewing their decisions to shoot suspects. Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill decided Green would not face charges for the shooting.
