Sean Grayson has been convicted of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Sonya Massey.  Grayson was charged with first-degree murder, but jury instructions included the option to convict him of the lesser charge of second-degree murder.  Grayson faces four to 20 years in prison for second-degree murder. Under state law, he would most likely be eligible to get day-for-day credit for good behavior in prison, meaning he could end up serving only half his sentence.
