Crumbley, now represented by new defense counsel, has filed to appeal his life sentence outlawed by the U.S. Supreme Court in Miller v. Alabama (2012) for juvenile homicide offenders.
Probable Cause Hearing Magistrate Michael Mitchell opened the proceeding asking how the parties wish to proceed. Prosecutor Sarah Green advised the court of co-defendant’s request for a Preliminary Exam. APA Green informed that the preliminary exam will take time due to the voluminous amount of discovery tendered to the defense and requested that the hearing be scheduled at a later date with the court’s clerk off the record. Defense Attorney Ballard confirmed the continuous flow of discovery received including the autopsy protocol received just a day before the current PCC hearing. Attorney Ballard requests on the record for all additional discovery be forwarded to each defense teams to ensure both case files are complete with both Attorney Zuppke and the dual counsel of Attorney’s Ballard and Loftin since the cases are inextricably locked. Attorney Ballard confirmed good communication between parties without dispute that discovery is continuing and ongoing from the prosecution. Attorney Zuppke only states an issue with cell phone analysis and requests preliminary exam to be scheduled sometime in October to allow time for the complete review of discovery. Magistrate Michael Mitchell ruled in favor of scheduling exam off the record and continued bond for both defendant’s ongoing detention.
Oakland County Prosecutor, Karen McDonald said in a press conference on August 9th that “Chulo” died after a lengthy period of confinement and abuse.
Little Chulo was allegedly starved, beaten, shot with a BB gun, and held captive in the corner of a room where he slept on an 11 x 36-inch slat while being stapled to a wall held down with restraints. Prosecutors report that he was monitored by his abusers via a security camera kept in the home to make sure he wasn't "misbehaving." “Misbehaving" was described by prosecutors as the child attempting to drink, urinate, or escape. The mother, Elaina, was charged because she is said to have not only been aware of the abuse but sometimes encouraged it.

A second request for media coverage was also denied on July 24, 2024 during a Motion for Relief hearing where defense attorneys requested reconsideration of the defendant’s pretrial detention. Grayson’s request for pretrial release was denied a second time and he appealed that decision on 08/09/24 with the Appellate Court. Court records indicate a third media request has been submitted on 08/22/24 and it appears the judge may be reconsidering his former rulings prohibiting media coverage of the trial. According to court records, court clerks were instructed to forward the media request to all parties, both the prosecution and defense, requesting their opinions on the issue and requiring them to respond in 30 days.  The Significance of Media Coverage and Public Demand While the media may, understandably, present as a bit invasive, and, possibly disruptive to court proceedings, it is important to satisfy high public interest and protect the accurate dissemination of information especially in the face of a volatile political culture climate. Besides this, publicizing legal proceedings can significantly contribute to the public’s understanding of jurisprudence, raise awareness of criminality (various types of crimes), inform public policy, and influence public opinion. It is of no consequence that the increased attention media can have a tangible impact, rather positive or negative, on the criminal justice system. The scrutiny of mass media and public demand have been known to pressure law enforcement to swift, and, sometimes aggressive action in response to high profile cases. Public scrutiny can also be problematic, such as contaminating the jury pool if allowed too soon in the process where jurors may be prejudiced against a defendant. Other problems with media coverage include misleading news such as “disinformation campaigns,” and information can be hard to control once released to the public, which can present a myriad of issues for the prosecution and defense of a case. However, it is not only at the judge’s discretion to allow media coverage, they can also control who and to what extent the media and/or public are allowed to access the proceedings.

Grayson was indicted on three counts First-Degree Murder, one count Aggravated Battery with a Firearm and one count Official Misconduct after responding to the home of Sonya Massey on July 6, 2024 in response to an emergency dispatch call shortly before 1 a.m. requesting police assistance due to a suspected prowler. Deputy Grayson and a second officer entered Ms. Massey’s residence after clearing the perimeter of the home. It remains unclear why entrance into the home was necessary rather than concluding the investigation relevant to the emergency call and leaving the scene. Grayson and the unnamed second officer continued their investigation by requesting identification from Ms. Massey which quickly turned into an altercation over a pot of boiling water leaving Massey with a gunshot wound to the head. She died a short time later at the hospital from her injuries.  he incident was turned over to the Illinois State Police (ISP) by Sheriff Jack Campbell, Sangamon County Sheriffs Department for an independent investigation. Officials determined that Grayson’s actions were unjustified and reckless. He was charged and indicted by a Grand Jury on July 17, 2024. Deputy Grayson was arraigned on July 18, 2024 where he plead not guilty and was remanded to the custody of Sangamon County Sheriffs until trial. Defense attorneys filed a Motion for Relief, requesting pre-trial release of the defendant at his arraignment on July 18th but was denied. A Motion for Relief requesting reconsideration of Grayson’s pre-trial release was filed on August 8, 2024 which the judge denied for a second time. Grayson filed an appeal with the Illinois Appellate Court on August 9, 2024. A Notice of Appeal was submitted to the Sangamon County Circuit Court Clerk on August 21st. Defense attorneys reportedly expect a response to their appeal in at least 90 - 120 days.
