But #SonyaMassey’s parents & 2 children — who lobbied for the maximum sentence — said their lives had changed dramatically since the killing. Her 2 children said they had to grow up without a mother, while Massey’s mother said she lived in fear. They asked the judge to carry out 5justice in her name.
“Today, I’m afraid to call the police in fear that I might end up like Sonya,” her mother Donna Massey said.

Sean Grayson, 31, was convicted in October. Grayson, who is white, received the maximum possible sentence. He has been incarcerated since he was charged in the killing.
He apologized during the sentencing, saying he wished he could bring #SonyaMassey back & spare her family the pain he caused.
“I made a lot of mistakes that night. There were points when I should’ve acted, & I didn’t. I froze,” he said. “I made terrible decisions that night. I’m sorry.”

Killer cop Sean Grayson was finally convicted for the murder of Sonya Massey.
Cops were called to Sonyas house for a routine "prowling" investigation.
Once inside the cops asked Sonya to move a pot she was cooking in off the stove. She complied, but the killer cop Grayson feared for his life at the sight of a Black woman on the other side of a room holding a pot.
He shot her dead.
He's convicted finally, lets hope it sticks.

The incident has prompted continued questions about #US #LawEnforcement #shootings of #Black people in their homes & generated a change in #Illinois #law requiring fuller transparency on the background of candidates for law enforcement jobs.
A jury of 10 women & 5 men, including 3 alternates, will hear testimony that’s predicted to end next week.

According to body-camera video that is certain to play a key role in the trial, Grayson & Massey joked about how the deputy backed away as she moved the pan before Massey said, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” Grayson later told sheriff’s investigators he thought Massey’s statement meant she intended to kill him, yelled at her to drop the pot & in the subsequent commotion, fired 3 shots, striking her just below the eye.

On July 6, 2024, Massey, a 36-year-old single mother of 2 teenagers who struggled with mental health issues, called emergency responders over a suspected prowler. When Grayson, who is white, & another deputy entered her Springfield home to report finding no one, Grayson noticed a pan of hot water on the stove & ordered it removed.
-
The trial was scheduled to begin Wednesday with opening statements. If convicted of murder, Grayson faces a sentence of 45 years to life in prison. Prosecutors dismissed single counts of aggravated battery with a firearm & official misconduct.

Unfortnately, a Youtube channel has plagiarized the title of this video, along with some of the content from my article of the same name. Ironically the channel is called "Caught Now."

SONYA MASSEY: WHY THE 2ND OFFICER SHOULD NOT GET OFF SCOT-FREE
"The 2nd officer appears to have evaded scrutiny & accountability ... his actions have been framed by much of the media in a benign light, simply because he had his body camera on and attempted to provide “medical aid” to #SonyaMassey. But doesn’t he bear some responsibility for allowing his colleague to shoot an unarmed woman in the face?"

I just got back from a #SonyaMassey vigil.
I was one of the speakers and I think I did a great job, but I was surrounded by such amazing speakers and a choir!
It was amazing to see the community come out!
Hopefully, the next time will be in celebration!
