Massey family decries 'true justice' after deputy who killed Sonya dies in prison
TL;DR
The Massey family says they were robbed of true justice after former Illinois sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson — who was convicted of murdering Sonya Massey in 2024 — died of colon cancer six months into a 20-year prison sentence. They say they weren’t even notified of his death, learned it online, and argue that justice isn’t served when a killer dies in custody; civil rights attorney Ben Crump noted the death doesn’t bring Sonya back, and the family remains seeking closure and accountability.
