Paroled killer Miller says parole terms too strict
Wesley Wayne Miller told a Fort Worth parole hearing that his release conditions are unfair after he refused sex offender counseling. The case centers on a six month jail transition and three monitoring types under a 1980s overcrowding law. Miller, accused in a fatal 1982 stabbing and mutilation, faced spectators including the victim’s sister as prosecutors weigh resuming prison time.
