IL - Damari Perry 6, murdered by mom & brother, fnd in abandoned house, Chicago, 7 Jan 2022 *ARREST*

Everytime I'm firmly against the death penalty, a case like this comes along and I'm right back on the fence.
I am still way firmly against it, but I get what you mean. So many awful cases of people treating people terribly. I'll never get it, no matter how much study and research and insight I absorb.

Thanks to @Niner and @shotgun09 for keeping this thread updated for anyone who comes along. I hope others read the early links about DAMARI PERRY. His killers were awful people, but he was a sweet innocent kid and let's never lose him in all this too.
 
Oh - I have meant to ask you @shotgun09 - do you know or can find the birth dates for either of them?

TIA if you can! :)

So sorry, I cannot locate the exact birth dates of either on the court clerk site. The information given there is sparse, to say the least.

ETA: I looked back through initial articles, and it shows Jannie Perry was 38 at the time of the crime. ( Jan 2022), and Jeremiah was 20.
