Murder trial for former Illinois sheriff's deputy who killed Sonya Massey set for October Former deputy Sean Grayson's trial has been moved to Peoria County, after his defense attorney argued publicity from the trial made it impossible to find an impartial jury in Sangamon County.

Trial date is set for October 20th in Peoria County.

Tiara was there and told me Grayson looks is alot worse and his cancer has progressed from Stage 3 to 4.

I have no sympathy - he murdered Sonya and is trying to feign Innocence.

I’m so glad to see Sonya Massey’s family get some restitution for their horrific loss. This officer needs to be punished for his racist murder of Sonya Massey. Black lives matter, ever and always. #JusticeForSonyaMassey #BLM

Ben Crump announce $10 million settlement in Sonya Massey case Nationally renowned civil rights and personal injury attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci, along with the family of Sonya Massey, have announced a $10 mill

The $10M settlement for Sonya Massey’s family is a step toward justice, but accountability can’t stop here. We need more robust background checks and reviews of work and personal history for applicants in law enforcement roles. Criminal and legislative action must follow. #JusticeForSonyaMassey
