Police investigate the scene of an apparent fatal domestic violence incident on the 5900 block of N. Ravenswood Ave., which fatally wounded a 11-year-old Jayden Perkins and seriously injured his mother on March 13, 2024, in Chicago. A Cook County judge on Friday ordered factual documents sealed in the highly-scrutinized case of a man accused of killing 11-year-old Jayden Perkins and injuring his pregnant mother in a stabbing in their Edgewater apartment.
No one was arrested after the past incidents, but the judge said any future disruptions would be met with a contempt of court charge.Cook County prosecutors made the request to seal the documents after Brand, who is representing himself, filed a motion to dismiss the indictment, arguing that the pretrial publicity biased the grand jurors against him. Petrone denied the request to dismiss the charges.
Prosecutors said the woman, who was engaged to someone else, was in a romantic relationship with Brand more than 15 years ago. Brand has racked up multiple convictions for battering her, threatening her and her mother and violating orders of protections, court records show. “Of the people that come through this courtroom, it’s hard to find someone who is more dangerous than this defendant,” said Assistant State’s Attorney Anne McCord Rodgers during a March detention hearing.
