In March 2002, Alexander Co. Prosecutor Steve L. Jett Jr. attempted to rape Sharonda at gunpoint while her four-year-old daughter was waiting outside in the car. Sharonda was able to get his gun and shot him 1 time in self-defense.

Sharonda was just 19 when she first met Jett. They had an intimate relationship for some time and remained friends after it ended.

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.
