LeAnn Miller, a member of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, resigned following the February release and subsequent violent actions of Crosetti Brand, a parolee with a history of violent crime. Brand, who was released from prison, is accused of stabbing his pregnant ex-girlfriend and killing her 11-year-old son. The resignation comes amid criticism of the criminal justice system in Cook County, with calls for comprehensive reforms. Governor JB Pritzker announced the resignation, highlighting the failure to adequately consider the evidence and the rights of victims of domestic violence in the case.
