Sean Grayson’s Ex-Partner Testifies Against Him
Sonya Massey's family seeks justice after she was shot down by former Sangamon County Sheriff's Deputy Sean Grayson in her house. The first degree murder trace to achieve that justice is on the way and accordingly ABCNewsSome very damaging testimony against Grayson was heard by the nine man, three woman jury.
Grayson's former partner Dawson Farley testified that he never felt threatened by any of Massey's behavior during her interaction with the two officers.
“She never did anything that made me think she was a threat,” Dawson said. “It was essentially the actions of the defendants that sparked my sense of awareness,” Farley said of Grayson.
Farley would go on to say that he wanted to “do justice” to Massey by testifying against Grayson. That makes it pretty clear where he stands on Grayson's decision to put a round through the woman's skull.
Another testimony that put a serious strain on the style of Grayson's lawyers came from the forensic pathologist Dr. Nathaniel Patterson of the Sangamon County Coroner's office. According to The independentPatterson swore under oath that Massey could have survived the devastating shooting if she had received medical attention. However, in the body camera video of the incident, Grayson can be clearly heard telling Farley not to render aid because he believed Massey was already dead due to the extent of her injury.
If that wasn't bad enough, another expert witness, retired LaGrange, Georgia police officer Louis Dekmar, testified that he did not witness Massey exhibiting threatening behavior on the video in question.
