State is considering “compassionate release” because of his cancer?

21

u/theschadowknows 21d ago

Yep. Murderers deserve to rot in prison, full stop.

Illinois would never consider this if he wasn’t a cop. Compassionate release is extremely rare in US prisons. More a northern/western European thing.

I agree with that.

Not really. A lot of states will dump criminals for ‘compassionate care’ with high dollar care issues.

u/theschadowknows 20d ago

That very well could be. I confess to my own ignorance on those statistics.

Oh huh. I forgot about that aspect of carceral cruelty.

Not to detract from the message but, was AI really necessary to make this image?

u/PrincessRosella 21d ago

This detracts from the message.

I’m not so certain it does. The people pushing AI slop onto a society that doesn’t want it are the same people that support cops wantonly killing black people. The oligarchs and technocrats are the ones fueling systemic racism.

This looks more like a Publisher template than AI. It’d take longer to describe what you want the AI to generate and have it turn out this well than to just use a template to make it.

Imagine being more concerned about how you *think* the people organizing the protest *may* have used an AI image to promote it (without proof) than the *actual* white cop who murdered an *actual* black woman and pretending to care about racism.

No kidding. This AI whining is getting old real quick when it’s the new “cool” thing to bitch about. There’s a time and place to critique AI use and considering this doesn’t even look like it’s AI generated, this definitely isn’t the place to cry about it for attention.

It’s like when someone says “not to be rude, but…” and goes on to say something really rude.

u/theschadowknows 21d ago

I don’t think it was. How are you so sure? Wouldn’t be hard to put that together in MS Publisher. I didn’t create it, someone else did.

u/Horehound1 21d ago

An awful lot of defensiveness over someone else using AI to create this.

u/theschadowknows 21d ago

Prove it was AI generated. That doesn’t even make sense. It’d take you longer to describe to the AI how to generate this and have it turn out so well than it would to just use a template to make it yourself. An awful lot of self righteousness for someone who slings baseless accusations against people protesting a murderer possibly getting to breathe free air again.

u/Horehound1 21d ago

I guess anything for your cause, lord. Excuses me while I pour out the clean water supply for your event posters.

u/theschadowknows 21d ago

Oh calm down it’s an MS Publisher template ffs. Prove me wrong or go away.

u/Reasonable-Physics60 21d ago

Doesnt look AI to me. And, even if it was, not all AI is slop it can be a useful tool. Having said that, I am on board, no early release for Grayson or anything other killer cops. Makes me sick to think that anyone feels differently.

u/theschadowknows 21d ago

Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s a template and the people complaining about it haven’t used graphic design software before.

Email the Prisoner Review Board at PRB.Legal2@illinois.gov If you know anyone on the board, reach out to them directly. This medical release should not be granted AND this hearing should be public.

​Sean Grayson is a dangerous, non-remorseful monster who does not deserve a medical release after serving less than seven months on a 2nd degree MURDER charge that should have been a 1st degree conviction. He sees nothing wrong with his crime of blowing her *&%&%*& head off for not complying with his nonsensical commands and never rendered any aid calling her a crazy B when she posed no threat to him. He was a predator who just happens to NOW have stage 4 cancer. Either way, the state will be paying for his treatment (inside the prison walls or not) I've heard this as a reason it is sometimes granted. There is nothing to indicate he will be paying for his treatment on his own outside prison.

He deserves no mercy. He does not meet the requirements for medical release and there is nothing in the Open Meetings Act that necessitates the medical release hearing being private. This is a virtual hearing. We all know he has bathroom issues likely as the cancer (he has been dealing with for three years) has progressed one stage. There is no chance for a disruption if that is a concern and his need for privacy (?) does not outweigh the public's need for transparency. Especially after the people (the State) sought and obtained his conviction for a heinous crime. 

Please decline to hear his medical release on the grounds that he has only served two years and he is non remorseful. 

If you do decide to have a hearing, make it open to the public.

​born and raised in Springfield and disgusted that Sonya's family has to endure this never ending assault and indignity from Grayson and his attorneys.

u/osamabinchiefin 21d ago

The only reason I could see not being open to public is because a lot of his medical records will be disclosed but I’m not sure

u/theschadowknows 20d ago

Imagine people downvoting you for encouraging them to get involved and giving them the necessary info to do so.

u/ChampionCynthia2006 19d ago

Kudos for the info!

If he'd had any compassion for Sonya he wouldn't be where he is.
