Miller’s Life Sentences Upheld | Wilmington News

A North Carolina appeals court has upheld the life sentences of Michael Legage Miller Jr. for the 2020 murders of William Coley, Destiny Greene, and her unborn child, rejecting nearly all of his defense arguments—including issues with cellphone searches, forensic testimony, and video evidence involving his half-brother. While the court corrected a procedural error regarding attorney fees, it made clear this does not affect Miller’s conviction or his life without parole sentence. The case hinges on testimony from a co-defendant who claimed Miller planned and executed the robbery-shooting, backed by physical evidence including a matching firearm, shell casings, and a suspicious online search for car glass replacement found on Miller’s girlfriend’s phone.
