I'm sure the next line out of her mouth would've been, "He'll show up."

Right! And even the guiltiest of them still at least manage to say “I’ve looked everywhere.” EVERYWHERE!

@Sue sue .. he was frozen because of outside temps .. they attempted to burn the body .. freezer burn I haven’t read anything about that?!

They way they talked about his skin appearance made me think about chicken when it gets freezer burn.

I hate this story so much because this abusive breeder not only did this to her child, she enlisted her children in the murder and cover up of their own brother.

I can’t imagine the hell these kids were raised in that would produce multiple siblings who could do that.

you send your kids off with a guy named 'Wacko'?

That’s why mom is being charged too. She must’ve wanted something to happen…

The Lake County State's Attorney's Office filed a 19-count indictment Wednesday against Damari Perry's mother and brother, charging both with first-degree murder in the 6-year-old's death.

Prosecutors said they filed the murder charges in a way that allows them to seek natural-life sentences against 38-year-old Jannie Perry, Damari's mother, and 20-year-old Jeremiah Perry, Damari's brother.

A Lake County Grand Jury jointly indicted Jannie and Jeremiah Perry on eight counts of murder and additional counts of aggravated battery of a child, dismembering a human body, conspiracy, aggravated domestic battery, concealment of a homicidal death, endangering the life or health of a child and abuse of a corpse.

Jannie and Jeremiah were also charged with obstructing justice.


Jannie Perry was also indicted on one count of failure to report the death or disappearance of a child under 13 years of age.

Prosecutors said that evidence shows Jannie and Jeremiah Perry formulated and enacted a plan to severely punish Damari through prolonged exposure in a cold shower.
The grand jury found evidence that the murder was "exceptionally brutal and heinous," which allows prosecutors to seek natural-life sentences on the murder charges for Jannie and Jeremiah.

Prosecutors also said the family burned Damari's remains after his death, which means they may seek up to 60 years in prison for the dismembering charge alone.

Good, stack all the charges you can on them, they deserve every last one of them.

@cubby

This is probably a tactic to get them to take a plea deal.

Sadly Illinois does not have the death penalty.

The brother of 6-year-old Damari Perry, the Chicago boy whose naked body was found wrapped in a plastic trash bag last month at an abandoned home in Gary, Indiana, pleaded not guilty on Monday to the child’s murder and reportedly seeks to represent himself in court.

Jeremiah Perry, 20, is facing first-degree murder and a slew of other charges in the death of Damari.

During a virtual court hearing in Lake County on Monday, Perry entered a not guilty plea to all charges, according to online court records.
Lake County Judge George Strickland said Jeremiah Perry had filed several motions requesting to represent himself in court, the Daily Herald reported.
However, his attorney Renea Amen said she had not received a copy of the motions and planned to speak to her client about the matter, according to the paper. The matter was expected to be settled at a hearing on Tuesday.

Perry also faces charges of aggravated battery of a child, dismembering a human body, conspiracy, aggravated domestic battery, concealment of a homicidal death, endangering the life or health of a child, abuse of a corpse and obstructing justice.

A North Chicago man who transported his young brother’s corpse to Indiana and then set it on fire in an attempt to cover up the boy’s death has been sentenced to 30 years in prison, according to court records.

Jeremiah Perry, 25, pleaded guilty to dismembering a corpse, stemming from the death of his brother, 6-year-old Damari Perry.

The boy died from hypothermia on Dec. 30, 2021, after his mother forced him to stay in a cold shower for an extended period as a punishment, according to authorities.

Following Damari’s death, Jeremiah Perry and another relative drove the child’s body to Gary, Indiana, where they set his body on fire, authorities said.

The mother, Jannie Perry, was sentenced last month to 45 years in prison after she pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. The relative who aided Jeremiah Perry was charged as a juvenile
