Cop gets 20 years for fatally shooting woman who called 911 for help - Lemmy.World
lemmy.worldA former Illinois deputy has been sentenced to 20 years for fatally shooting
Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 for help. Sean Grayson, 31, was
convicted in October of second-degree murder. Grayson, who is white, received
the maximum possible sentence and has been in police custody since being charged
in the killing. Massey’s family members, who were sitting in the court,
celebrated his sentence with a loud cheer: “Yes!” The judge admonished them.
Grayson apologized during the sentencing, saying he wished he could bring Massey
back and spare her family the pain he caused. “I made a lot of mistakes that
night. There were points when I should’ve acted, and I didn’t. I froze,” he
said. “I made terrible decisions that night. I’m sorry.”
