On Thursday (Jan.29), in an Illinois courtroom, a former deputy, Sean Grayson, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for shooting and killing 36-year-old Sonya Massey.
I was very unprofessional that night, and the things I said to Sonya Massey were not right,” Grayson added.
Following a brief verbal altercation between her and Grayson, Massey was gunned down in her kitchen.
There have been debates about whether the shooting was racially motivated, given that Massey was black and Grayson, 31, was white.
State’s Attorney John Milhiser met with reporters outside of the courthouse, saying, “Sonya Massey’s death rocked her family, but it rocked the community, it rocked the country.
