SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The former Illinois sheriff’s deputy convicted of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 to request help, is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday. Grayson, who is white, could be sentenced to as much as 20 years in prison but also is eligible for probation. Massey appeared confused and repeatedly said, “Please, God.”The deputies entered her house, Grayson noticed the pot on the stove and ordered Farley to move it. Massey said: “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.”Grayson drew his sidearm and yelled at her to drop the pan. The case also prompted a change in Illinois law requiring fuller transparency on the backgrounds of candidates for law enforcement jobs.
