the Louisiana Supreme Court reversed the 4 1st-degree murder convictions and death sentence of Shon Miller Sr. for shooting and killing his 2-year-old son, wife, mother-in-law and a church deacon on March 10, 1999.
The state's high court held that District Judge Alvin Turner's pre-trial rulings prevented Miller from exercising his right to plead not guilty by reason of insanity, resulting in a "constitutionally flawed jury trial," the ruling said.
Miller, who is on death row at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, was convicted of shooting and killing his mother-in-law, Mildred Vessel, his wife, Carla Vessel Miller, 25; his son, Shon Miller Jr., 2; and church deacon Vaniaro Jackson, 19, during an evening church service.
