The ex-Illinois deputy who shot Sonya Massey dead last month has been denied a pre-trial release from jail to treat colon cancer, according to the The Independent.
A Sangamon County judge reportedly ruled that a “real and present threat” still remains if Sean Grayson is granted pre-trial release before he stands trial for Massey’s murder. Grayson asked to be released from Menard County Jail because he claimed the facility would not sufficiently treat a number of his medical conditions, including colon cancer.
Grayson’s attorneys argued that he no longer posed a threat to the public because he no longer has access to firearms.
