Brynden's Law advocate notes Kerrigan shake-baby case verdict
Kerrigan pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Brynden’s 2006 shaken baby death and was sentenced to 10 years with credit for time served. He was released from Vandalia Correctional Center in 2019. Brynden’s mother, Gibson, led advocacy for longer sentences and a public registry, though Kerrigan is not listed due to post sentencing amendments. She seeks educational measures to prevent future tragedies.

Illinois Governor Quinn warns 21 IDA employees face layoffs as a budget shortfall endangers multiple agencies. He proposes a two year plan to close four developmental centers and two psychiatric hospitals, hoping the General Assembly will approve a "real location" budget fix. AFSCME pushes for legislative revenue to avert closures and layoffs.
