He queried bloodstains on garments, the missing overgarment, and the hand wound, while criticizing detectives and countering the state’s theory. The prosecutor Jenkins then urged the jury to weigh whether Annie Miller was murdered at the found location and if John Miller was the killer, outlining the husband’s grief and alibi inconsistencies.
