CHICAGO (WAND) — Illinois' highest court has denied an emergency motion filed by the legal team of Sean Grayson, the former Sangamon County deputy charged with the murder of Sonya Massey.

On Dec. 3, WAND News reported that an Illinois appellate court ruled that Grayson was to remain detained until a hearing on Jan. 2.
Days later, Grayson's attorneys filed an emergency motion requesting the Illinois Supreme Court order Grayson's immediate pre-trial release. That motion was denied.
Grayson was charged for the murder of Sonya Massey in July. Body-worn camera footage was released from a 911 call that showed Grayson shooting Massey during an exchange over a pot of water in her home. After the shooting, he failed to give Massey medical help.
