Murder conviction reversed new trial ordered in Kansas
The Kansas Supreme Court overturned Martin Miller's 2004 murder conviction, ordering a new trial due to an error in the written jury instruction. Miller faces potential retrial for the death of his wife Mary Miller, whom prosecutors said he strangled in their Lawrence home after learning of an affair and life insurance. The court did not set a date for the new trial.
