The partner of the sheriff's deputy who fatally shot a Black woman in her own home testified in an Illinois court. Dawson Farley told the jury that he was afraid of sheriff's deputy Sean Grayson that night, and that he did not feel threatened by Sonya Massey. Grayson faces three counts of first-degree murder for shooting the 36-year-old single mother after he told her to put down a pot of water she was holding.

We still need a decent sentence

• Grayson faces a potential sentence of four to 20 years in prison, with the possibility of serving only 50% of that time due to good behavior.
• Probation is also an option for sentencing, as second-degree murder convictions allow for non-incarceration penalties.
• The jury did not convict Grayson of first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory sentence of 45 years to life in prison.
• The verdict follows a seven-day trial and was reached after the jury considered charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, or not guilty.

The jury in the trial of Sean Grayson, charged with the murder of Sonya Massey, is composed of nine women and three men, with one Black man among the 12 jurors. The three alternates are two white men and one white woman. The jury was selected after a process that concluded on October 20, 2025, and the trial, which has drawn national attention, is now in the deliberation phase following closing arguments.

Jury

• The jury is made up of nine women and three men, with one Black juror.
• The three alternates are all white, consisting of two men and one woman.
• The selection process was completed on October 20, 2025, after two days of jury selection.
• The trial is currently in the deliberation phase, with jurors beginning their discussions on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
• The composition of the jury, particularly the lack of Black representation beyond one man, has been a point of concern for Massey's family and supporters, who argue that representation matters in such high-profile cases.
