Fifty-Five Years
And surprisingly, he will allegedly serve every day of it:
A Chicago man has been sentenced to 55 years in prison for the murder of Chicago Police Officer Aréanah Preston, who was shot and killed during a robbery as she returned home from her shift in 2023, Cook County prosecutors announced Thursday.
Judge Adrienne Davis handed down the sentence after Joseph Brooks pleaded guilty to the slaying: 35 years for murder plus a 20-year gun enhancement. By law, Brooks must serve every day of that sentence.
Joseph Brooks pleaded guilty to first-degree murder before Cook County Judge Adrienne Davis. He is one of four men charged in the May 6, 2023, killing of Preston, 24, which prosecutors say occurred during an armed robbery spree that stretched for hours across Chicago’s South Side. Brooks admitted to shooting Preston as she reached for her weapon during the robbery, prosecutors have said.
There are three more jagoffs awaiting trial for this murder.
We don't know if jagoff #1 is providing any testimony against his cohorts, but with a Guilty plea landing him fifty-five years in a state with no Death Penalty, we can't see what leverage the State has to compel testimony. Hopefully, the case against the rest is a as strong as the first one.
RIP Officer Preston.

Who raised that piece of shit
OFC. Preston inspired me to get into this profession and field. May she rest in peace
Bring back the death penalty. A life for a life.
Vote these dam politicians out of office.
God bless the family 😔
Rest in peace Areanah Preston.
Areanah was too young. She had her entire life ahead of her. She was one semester away from obtaining her Master's degree and then she aspired to attend law school. She loved to set goals and achieve them.
Glorious and pleasantly surprised to see this sentence. Perhaps it will deter all ferals ! Naw they never learn.
We need a Death Penalty!
Good. Now close the door and throw away the key.
Every day till fat ass Pritzker commutes the sentence to accommodate Lovey & Lovey supported Innocents Project from the University of Chicago and they keep the cash flow going from the citizens to the “bottom feeder” lawyers
New Illinois Law, thanks to the Safe T Act. No matter the crime, including Murder, after serving 20 years of a sentence he is eligible for a Parole hearing.
and as usual these scums get to live for free while the taxpayers feed them, give them free medical care and a place to sleep
Excellent news.
55 years is still a slap in the face to cops families everywhere in Crook county.
With the parole system in this corrupt state, 55 year sentence, out in 27, is not justice.
Read carefully. Prob has to serve 20 years. That’s it.
Sad reality is that it’s not just Pritzker, it’s the full Dem legislature behind him and all these unbelievable laws and acts they put forward to appease the liberal thinking crowd. Sanctuary states, sanctuary cities, no bail, no jail, 20 year max sentences, no 3-strikes-you’re in forever law, making sure that crime is just a “societal aberration” of those who have been harmed and neglected since 1865!
It's infuriating that these worthless scum were able to execute this incredible young woman. An absolute world beater. Lord only knows what she would have accomplished on top of the mountain of accomplishments she had already made. May she rest in peace and her family and friends find comfort in God's grace.
If he does the full 55 years that’s basically the death penalty. He will be in his 70s but fuck this guy why are we paying for him. We need to do what Mexico does your family provides whatever you have in prison
Hopefully Leon the Professional will pay this POS a visit in prison soon for what he did.
Do NOT believe pro criminal Democrats!
The killer will only do about 20 years in jail and then get double secret paroled!
No faith in Illinois Court system nor any Democrat elected politicians!
We can continue to show our support and dedication thru prayer and attending our established events to honor our fallen, i.e., St. Jude Memorial March, Sunday 3 May, Springfield IL Law Enforcement Memorial, Thursday 7 May and the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington DC, 10 thu 16 May 26 --> For complete information on the NLEOM in Washington DC, see the FOP 7 & CPSA Sgts. Assn. websites for details.
A new rope would have been justice.....
True. They don't learn insensitive inhuman unrepentantable
Or life in prison for the murder of a police officer. Surely they cut this pos a deal for his plea. Poor girl was only twenty four when she was murdered. Hopefully he gets got in prison.
Taking a life no big thing, but that gun charge duo going have to do some serious time. Priorities you know.
The more of these cop killers that go to the ME's office the better!
I'd like to dig up that pos George Ryan's corpse and shit on it. His democrat gifts keep giving.
Fuck these fucking fucks.
Rip Areanah.
OT: This deputy is a retired CPD officer; I’m told he won’t make it.

Mark your calendars for that 2046 hearing.
Perhaps he will inadvertently meet a sharp object while in prison.
The "NON-SAFETY" Act.
Not going to serve all of it. Will be released by democrats far earlier. Death is the only sentence that is Democrat proof.
For sure!
So sad and horrible.
So agree!!!!!
A bit off topic:https:/

"the 54 top-paid city workers in 2025 were all members of the Boston Police Department, many of whom earned tens of thousands of dollars in overtime and detail pay alone, some more than $200,000."
Boston is working the guys to death to get the numbers down... then what?
love the good old days when these SOBs wouldnt have made it to court. No trials no court costs just delivered directly to the morgue.
Why is he still breathing?
The guy who shot a Trooper in Springfield 4 yrs ago just got 99 years
Rick was the real police in 007 and S.O.S. back in the day. Survived the mean streets of Chicago for nearly 30 years only to get shot in the head by some hillbilly in Kentucky. WTF?
First degree murder is 100%. No time off for good behavior. No parole. He will have to do 100% of the 35 years. The 20 years for the gun charge might be 50%.
Pray he is a good guy.
John Motzny is a tool.
