В Массачусетсе осудили на семь лет рецидивиста, убившего мать в Кентукки и изнасиловавшего женщину в Пеперелле

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... LOWELL — A 32-year-old local man, convicted in 1999 in Kentucky for killing his mother, has been sentenced to seven years in a Massachusetts prison after being convicted of raping a woman in Pepperell last year. Lowell Superior Court Judge Paul Chernoff sentenced Aaron Miller to seven to 9 1/2 years in state prison on Tuesday followed by six years probation. Miller was convicted last month of one count of rape and photographing the victim obscenely. In a related case, Miller’s 60-year-old father, Randall Miller, pleaded guilty to raping the same victim. Randall Miller, who is in a wheelchair, will be sentenced at a later date. Prosecutor Lisa McGovern asked for a heavier sentence of 12 to 13 years in state prison, arguing that Miller was on parole for manslaughter when the rape occurred. Miller pleaded guilty in Kentucky to fatally stabbing his 47-year-old mother, Brenda Jean Miller, with a 16-inch knife when she got between him and his father during a fight. After serving 6 1/2 years of his 15-year sentence in a Kentucky prison for his mother’s killing, Miller was released after successfully employing a loophole in the law that allows early parole for victims of domestic assault: Miller claimed his father had abused him. Soon after his release, however, Miller and his moved to Pepperell to be closer to family members. For more on this story see Wednesday’s Sun or visit http://www.lowellsun.com.
