The killing of Sonya Massey in her home by an Illinois sheriff’s deputy was pursued by prosecutors as a first-degree murder case with a possible life prison sentence.
Former downstate police officer Sean Grayson told the jury that Massey's vow to "rebuke him in the name of Jesus" led him to shoot her. His testimony drew scoffs from Massey's mother.
