An Illinois Prisoner Review Board member resigned after signing off on the release of a felon who allegedly killed a boy a day after walking free.
A member of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board who signed off on the release of a man with a long criminal record for domestic violence who allegedly killed an 11-year-old boy and injured his pregnant ex-girlfriend a day after walking free has resigned. LeAnn Miller conducted the hearing for Crosetti Brand, 37, who was serving a 16-year sentence for a home invasion and aggravated assault when he was paroled early, Gov. JB Pritzker said.
The knife wound severed a major artery and the boy bled to death. Perkins’ 5-year-old brother witnessed the attack on his family but was unharmed. Brand was arrested two hours after the stabbing. Authorities said Smith was getting the boys ready for school when Brand broke into their home around 8 a.m. on March 13. Brand and Smith had a prior relationship more than 15 years ago while he was parole with electronic monitoring in October.
