Sharonda had sold drugs to Jett and his friends, initially not knowing he was a prosecutor. At her trial, the state claimed she shot Jett b/c he wouldn't take her to get drugs, despite evidence of drugs in the home.

The state clearly played on racist stereotypes that deny Black women the right to self-defense while prosecuting Sharonda. She was convicted of 1st degree murder & sentenced to 30 years in the IL Dept of Corrections.
