Deputy Sean Grayson Trial Begins in Massey Killing

Read, Watch or Listen

The murder trial of Illinois deputy Sean Grayson, 31, accused of fatally shooting Sonya Massey in her Springfield home after she called police about a prowler, begins Monday. Jurors from Peoria and nearby counties will hear the case locally. Grayson, charged with first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and official misconduct, has pleaded not guilty and faces 45 years to life. Body-camera video shows a confrontation over a pan of hot water before three shots were fired. The killing spurred an Illinois law expanding transparency in police hiring.
