Justice Denied: Sean Grayson's Continued Imprisonment a Necessary Measure The Illinois Prisoner Review Board has denied medical release to Sean Grayson, the former Sangamon County sheriff's deputy convicted of second degree murder in the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey.
This decision has been met with relief from those who advocate for justice. Grayson was convicted of killing Massey, a victim of domestic violence, who had called for help after being attacked by her boyfriend.
Grayson claimed she had attacked him with boiling water, but an investigation and trial revealed a disturbing pattern of escalation and disregard for human life.
