State Parole Board Members Step Down After Freeing Man Who Stabbed Pregnant Woman & Killed 11-Year-Old Within 24 Hours Of Being Released
The Chair of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board and a board member both resigned in shame after the board approved the parole of a serial domestic abuser who allegedly went on to stab his pregnant ex-girlfriend and murder her 11-year-old son less than a day after being released.
37-year-old Crosetti Brand was granted freedom by the parole board on March 12, and reportedly broke into his pregnant ex-girlfriend’s home and violently attacked her and her son Jayden Perkins hours later.
Brand is now being charged with “first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery, home invasion, and domestic battery.”
Even CNN ran a segment pointing out, “A decade ago, this suspect had been sentenced to sixteen years for domestic abuse and for a violent home invasion. Just last year he was released on parole. After violating that he was sent back to prison. Then, just weeks ago, Jayden’s mother filed for a protective order against this suspect whom she had a relationship with more than a decade ago.”
The CNN anchor explained Perkins’ mother was denied the protective order by a judge who claimed it was unnecessary since Brand was still in jail at the time despite the inmate reportedly sending messages threatening to kill the woman and her children.
CBS 2 reports the mother, who is eight months pregnant, “was left in critical condition with a cut to her neck,” but “is expected to recover, as is the unborn baby.”
There was also some confusion regarding the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board denying having knowledge of the mother’s request for a protection order.
CBS 2 Investigators obtained emails and other records showing the IDOC was contacted by the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County by both email and phone call.
The state quickly changed its tune and began apologizing for “miscommunication” after the outlet revealed it had proof the court did reach out to the proper channels before the parole hearing.
Democrat Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker announced the resignation of the board members soon after the apologies were issued to the press.
Pritzker said:
“The Prisoner Review Board must be able to operate independently as they review enormously difficult cases, but I believe LeAnn Miller has made the correct decision in stepping down from her role. It is clear that evidence in this case was not given the careful consideration that victims of domestic violence deserve, and I am committed to ensuring additional safeguards and training are in place to prevent tragedies like this from happening again.”
Democrat soft-on-crime policies are resulting in countless unnecessary deaths across America.
