Miller again sentenced to life in prison
Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin for the second time sentenced Martin K. Miller to life in prison without parole. Jurors found Miller killed his wife Mary Miller at the family's central Lawrence home over 10 years ago. The retrial followed a Kansas Supreme Court ruling in 2014 that a prior jury instruction was erroneous.
