An Illinois Prisoner Review Board member has resigned following a controversial decision to release a man with a history of domestic violence, who allegedly went on to commit a heinous crime just a day after being freed.
The board member, LeAnn Miller, conducted the hearing for Crosetti Brand, 37, who had been serving a 16-year sentence for home invasion and aggravated assault. Brand was paroled early and released from the Stateville Correctional Center with electronic monitoring on March 12.
