SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A state parole board member resigned Monday after recommending the release of a man who a day later attacked a pregnant Chicago woman with a knife and fatally stabbed her 11-year-old son while he tried to protect her, according to authorities.
The Illinois Prisoner Review Board's handling of the case prompted Gov. J.B. Pritzker to order that procedures for dealing with situations involving domestic violence be revamped.
Pritzker announced that LeAnn Miller, 63, of Junction submitted her resignation. Miller had prepared a report recommending Crosetti Brand's release from prison.
The 37-year-old felon had repeatedly violated orders of protection and threatened Laterria Smith of Chicago, police said. On March 13, investigators said that Brand went to Smith's apartment armed with a knife and assaulted her. When her son, Jayden Perkins, intervened, Brand stabbed him to death, police said.
Smith, 33, remains hospitalized in critical condition but doctors expect her and her unborn child to live. Her 6-year-old son was present during the attack but was uninjured.

I love this kind of accountability.
IMO, the parole board should have to be accountable for the
crimes these people commit.
I would say that for DAs that let folks off without bail
too.
If the criminal pulls off a major crime, these people should
have to face the music too.
I can’t say exactly what the terms should be, but the days
of them turning folks lose on society, particularly families,
women, & children, should be over. Men too of course...
Wish this was the standard.
The cost of keeping people in prison is equivalent to sending your kid to an ivy league school. The budget is only so big, so they have to figure out who to keep and who to let go. Probably, 90% of the people in prison really need to be there because they represent a danger to society. In this case, some of them who should not be released are going to be released.
Now, as for the budget, if the DOJ says you have provide sex change surgery and God knows what else, it is going to greatly increase the medical cost of the prison population, that is draining the fund required for providing meals and basic requirements. Therefore, part of the budget problem is political. Another thing is the “death” penalty. If the guy lives twenty or thirty years before it is caried out, he is part of the problem of not being able to keep really bad actors in prison. A lot of the problems could be solved if there was any political will to do so. There isn’t.
Finally, somebody with a conscience. It’s extremely rare. I truly wish laws would be established to hold District Attorneys, Judges, and Attorney Generals criminally responsible, along with the violent offenders they’ve released to the street, and who commit another crime within a short period of time. They need to be held accountable for their stupidity.
LeAnn Miller, parole official.
see its ok when your hapless deranged liberal view doesn’t effect you and only effects others, right? sadly the 11 years old had to pay for her stupidity
That’s a woman?!
Condolences to family and friends of Jayden Perkins. Crosetti Brand back to prison? Death penalty? Death is not a “penalty”. It’s justice.
** is that a woman?” ***
No, it’s a box of rocks.
she’s 63?
Target acquired....would be a shame if she was stabbed to death getting her newspaper/mail.
It wasn't her fault. Her intentions were good.
You must never judge Lefties by the consequences of their actions, only their intentions.
They held themselves accountable, no one else did.
LeAnn, uber liberal idiot, doing what all liberals do, screwing up everything they touch.
Shame.
