Illinois Prisoner Review Board to receive stronger domestic violence training
CHICAGO -- Major changes are coming to the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, as Gov. JB Pritzker announced Monday that the state is making enhancements to the board members' domestic violence training.The change comes weeks after an incident in Edgewater in which an 11-year-old boy was stabbed to death and his pregnant mother was also stabbed and seriously wounded. The alleged attacker had been released from prison just the day before.
'The boy, Jayden Perkins, was killed while trying to protect his pregnant mother, Laterria Smith, on the morning of Wednesday, March 13. Prosecutors say Smith's ex-boyfriend, Crosetti Brand, attacked her at her home in the 5900 block of North Ravenswood Avenue one day after he was released from custody.Smith sought an order of protection against Brand in February, despite him going back to prison for violating his parole, including by trying to break into her home weeks before.
