Pritzker emphasized \u2064the need for essential\u2064 reforms, \u2062such as enhanced domestic violence training. Concerns \u200cabout \u200bthe lack of oversight \u200bhave also been raised.\u2063 Governor Pritzker addressed the public \u200dafter a \u200cdisturbing \u200cincident involving \u200ba parolee stabbing \u2062an 11-year-old and a 33-year-old, expressing dissatisfaction with the \u2062appointed review board members&#8217; handling of information.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>(The Center Square) \u2013 \u201cNecessary changes\u201d after the recent shakeup at the Illinois Prisoner Review Board include better domestic violence training, according to Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Others want more oversight. <\/p>\n<p>In his first public appearance since 11-year-old Jayden Perkins and 33-year-old Laterria Smith were stabbed by a recent parolee, Pritzker said review board members he appointed didn\u2019t take into account all the information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that the changes that are necessary here are evident in the fact that the panel didn\u2019t take into consideration enough the domestic violence history of this particular prisoner, and the fact that there were reports by the victim of that person \u2026 knocking at her door, being around her apartment building, etcetera,\u201d Pritzker said in Chicago at an unrelated event. <\/p>\n<p>PRB members LeAnn Miller and Chairman Donald Shelton resigned last month after Perkins was killed and Smith was stabbed. Miller handled the parole for Crosetti Brand, who is accused in the stabbing. <\/p>\n<p>Pritzker didn\u2019t say when he\u2019ll appoint replacements for Miller or Shelton. Appointments must be confirmed by the Illinois Senate within 60 session days. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been people in the General Assembly, typically the opposite party, who have politicized this, so it makes it more difficult,\u201d Pritzer, a Democrat, said. <\/p>\n<p>State Sen. Jason Plummer, R-Edwardsville, agreed, politics needs to be removed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real simple answer is the governor needs to appoint qualified people and not activists to the Prisoner Review Board,\u201d Plummer told The Center Square Monday. <\/p>\n<p>He said the PRB had operated without much controversy for years under different governors until Pritzker took office. <\/p>\n<p>On X, formerly Twitter, Plummer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JasonPlummerUSA\/status\/1772990386752913492\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>chronicled<\/strong><\/a> the recent appointment history of various members, among other problems he witnessed with the PRB. He said there\u2019s a pattern of the governor \u201cmanipulating\u201d the process by appointing and reappointing members after deadlines pass. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that has left unqualified and dangerous people making reckless decisions for months and in some instances years at a time without being confirmed by the Senate,\u201d Plummer said. <\/p>\n<p>Plummer supports efforts to bring more stringent requirements for appointees to the board and more adherence to the appointment and confirmation process.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a recent shakeup at the Illinois Prisoner Review Board, Gov.
