Unfortunately this pig is going to roast in jail now

Justified?

Bootlicker.

Damn that was not good for the former cop

[guffyezboy]

You can see her soul living her body on the door after she was shot a second Later

I didn’t know boiled water was lethal and also able to be thrown at a speed faster than a bullet

[Dodger712]

What did she say just prior to him saying he would shoot her?

[CodeRedDewd]

Even if her intent was to throw boiling water on them, all he had to do was back up. From the video, I wouldn't feel threatened by a pot of boiling water from some small woman. It's simple, just turn and run if necessary. There was no need for deadly force.

“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.”

Because she asked him where he was going, and he continued backing up in the living room and he snapped, “AWAY from you and your pot of hot water.”
perceived that she was being set up cuz sociopath psychoPig wanted a bloodbath.

She said I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. And he said “you had better fucking not!” Gun was whipped out at light night speed and pointed at her by now as he continued, “I will shoot you right in your fucking face!!!!!”
Saying that guaranteed premeditated murder (1st degree).

Textbook example of a sociopath. No empathy. No remorse. No conscience. Etc. And his reaction, which was beyond insane, makes it clear why she was rebuking him in the name of Jesus….he was a demon posessed maniac who walked into the house w/ his camera OFF on purpose, kept trying to escalate the situation, looking for anything to use against her, then sent her to the water pot so they didn’t “have a fire” and proceeded to call that HER threatening HIM.

[Noose]

If she had complied and hadn't messed with the cops she would be alive end of story. She escalated the whole situation. Would anybody just throw scalding water at a cops thinking they won't use lethal force? I mean come on...

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Sean Grayson, the former Sangamon County sheriff's deputy, was sentenced on Thursday to 20 years in prison after he was convicted in October 2025 of second-degree murder for the July 2024 fatal shooting of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 to report a possible intruder at her home in Springfield, Illinois.

Judge Ryan Cadagin said that Grayson will also have a two-year mandatory supervised release and will receive credit for time served.

Summer Massey, Sonya Massey's daughter who was 15 when her mother was fatally shot, told reporters that she was "grateful" that Grayson received the maximum sentence.

“I'm thankful for all the love and support that everybody has came out and shown and I'm grateful that we got the maximum sentence that we could," she said. "Twenty years is not enough, but ... they did what they could do.”

Grayson spoke ahead of his hearing and apologized to Massey's family.

"I wish there was something I could do to bring her back. I wish this didn't happen. I wish they [Massey's family] didn't have to go through this experience. I am very sorry," he said.

Addressing the judge, Grayson acknowledged that he "made a lot of mistakes" on the night Massey died.

"There were points when I should've acted, and I didn't -- I froze. I made terrible decisions that night. I'm sorry," he said.

Massey's mother, Donna Massey, and children delivered victim impact statements ahead of the sentencing.

"Today, I'm afraid to call the police in fear that I might end up like Sonya," Donna Massey said.

Also:

Before former Sangamon County Sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson was accused of shooting Sonya Massey after she called police to investigate a prowler, he had a rocky, one-year tenure with the Logan County Sheriff’s Department.

Personnel records show that Grayson’s time there was fraught, though he was not fired by the department. Grayson’s file from Logan County shows he continued a high-speed pursuit of a traffic offender even after his supervisor ordered him to terminate it, a woman filed a complaint claiming Grayson tried to watch as she was strip searched, and her fiancé, who was in Logan County jail, claimed Grayson questioned him in front of other inmates as retaliation for his girlfriend’s complaint.

Logan County Chief Deputy Nathan Miller wrote in a November 2022 report that Grayson needed “extensive” training after failing to listen to his superiors. He wrote Grayson needed field training, along with “additional traffic stop training, report writing training, high-stress decision making process classes, and needs to read, discuss and understand issued Logan County Sheriff’s Department policies.”

“Seven months on. How are you still employed by us?” Miller asked Grayson during a recorded meeting to discuss Grayson’s actions.

“I don’t know,” Grayson responded.

Records don’t reflect Grayson was disciplined for the incidents, but more training was recommended.

The open internal investigations were closed when Grayson resigned in April 2023 having not faced any discipline. He started his job at the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Department in May 2023.

Miller wrote the report nearly two years before Grayson shot Massey in the kitchen of her home after she called 911 to report a prowler in the early morning hours of July 6.
