Convicted by Accountability and Felony Murder <\/h3>\n \n

Corey Trainor <\/p>\n \n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 1997, a Cook County jury convicted Corey Trainor of felony murder. Corey received a 60-year sentence and must serve at least 30 years.<\/p>\n

Corey was just 19 years old when the crime happened.<\/p>\n

Research has established the brain continues developing into our mid-20s, and the part of the brain that allows us to assess risk is among the last to form. \u201cResearch suggests emerging adults are more prone to risky and impulsive behaviors, more sensitive to immediate rewards, less future-oriented and more volatile in emotionally charged settings\u2014psychological characteristics that mirror younger juveniles in some respects,\u201d Harvard Kennedy School researchers explain.<\/p>\n

There is growing recognition nationally and in Illinois that people in their late teens and early 20s should not be treated like older adults. In 2019, Governor JB Pritzker signed the Youthful Parole Bill, HB 531, into law, creating parole opportunities for some people younger than 21. This law created the first new parole opportunities in Illinois since the state eliminated the parole system in 1978, however, it is not retroactive so Corey cannot seek to show how he has changed since he was a teenager.<\/p>\n

\u201cCorey is remorseful and ready for leading society in the right direction. He has been educating himself,\u201d Corey\u2019s mom Johnnie said.<\/p>\n

From prison, Corey received his GED and earned a spot on Lake Land College\u2019s Dean\u2019s List. He has completed a range of courses and participated in many programs, including conflict resolution, health-based classes, financial literacy training, and more. He\u2019s now a Certified Master Shingle Applicator Wizard, Master Craftsman, and Insulation Master Craftsman, among other titles.<\/p>\n

Corey is also a certified Master Gardener and he has a Private Pesticides License. He achieved these professional certifications through an intensive training program at Vienna Correctional Center. He learned about horticulture and small-farm management through a United States Department of Agriculture-funded program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat appeals to me is being able to grow my own fruits and vegetables, and possibly bring the skills I learn here to my neighborhood in Chicago,\u201d Corey told Illinois Farmer Today. \u201cI\u2019d like to help improve the food selection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCorey is ready to get out and use all of his potential to help take this economy to the next level. He has a lot of creativity locked up in him. Corey is looking forward to mentoring at-risk youth,\u201d his mom said.<\/p>\n

Corey grew up close to his immediate and extended family. They are still close-knit and want him home.<\/p>\n

\u201cCorey was a good son. He was always outspoken. His middle name, Shamar in Hebrew, means to protect, to guard, to watch, to save life, and to take charge. That\u2019s Corey Shamar Trainer. His middle name speaks for itself,\u201d Johnnie said.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
