TYNDALL, S.D. (AP) - A South Dakota man accused of killing his
infant son is to stand trial next spring.
The 10-day trial for 37-year-old Chris Miller of Scotland is
scheduled to begin May 14 in Tyndall.
Miller is accused of killing 4-month-old Jacob in March by
shaking and beating the child. He has pleaded not guilty to several
charges, including murder.
Defense attorneys have been seeking the medical records of
Miller's wife, alleging that Stacy Miller was depressed before and
after giving birth and was unstable. Her attorney has said that
Miller's attorneys want to cast suspicion on her. The Press &
Dakotan newspaper reports that a judge this week said he will
review the medical records to see if there is any material that is
relevant to the case.
