Overview
- Jury selection began in Peoria after a venue change prompted by extensive publicity, with no cameras in court and extra security outside.
- Grayson has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and official misconduct.
- The judge barred testimony about Massey’s mental health before her 911 call and excluded much of Grayson’s past disciplinary and personal history.
- Jurors are expected to see body-camera video of the encounter inside Massey’s home, including footage from Grayson’s partner and portions after the shooting.
- If convicted of murder, Grayson faces 45 years to life in prison, with additional potential prison time on the other charges.
