Quick Glance: Illinois Parole Official Resigns After Freed Felon's Attack Leads to Tragedy

A state parole board member resigned after recommending the release of a man who attacked a pregnant woman in Chicago with a knife and fatally stabbed her 11-year-old son.

Governor J.B. Pritzker ordered revamped procedures for dealing with domestic violence cases after the Illinois Prisoner Review Board's handling led to the recommendation of Crosetti Brand's release from prison.

Brand, who police say had a relationship with Smith 15 years ago, faces charges of first-degree murder and other violent felonies related to the attack in Cook County.

Pritzker instructed the Prisoner Review Board to engage experts and advocates to design and implement expanded training in domestic violence cases for the 15-member board.
