Prosecutors said Grayson “aggressively yelled” at Massey to put a pot down and then she put her hands in the air, declared “I'm sorry” and ducked for cover before being shot in the face. “The other deputy still rendered aid and stayed with Ms. Massey until medical help arrived,” First Assistant State's Attorney Mary Rodgers wrote. Grayson “at no time attempted to render aid to Ms. Massey.” State's Attorney John Milhiser said a review of body camera video doesn't support the use of deadly force. Ben Crump, an attorney for Massey's family, said the charges were a “step toward justice for Sonya’s loved ones, especially her children, who have endured unimaginable pain and suffering since they were notified of this tragedy.” As many as 200 people gathered Wednesday at the Springfield NAACP building to express support for Massey and her family.
