Andrew John Miller is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Andrew John Miller was
convicted by Jury Kalamazoo County of Homicide - Felony Murder x3. 

His appeal includes:

During the preliminary examination codefendant Angela McConnell testified pursuant to a  plea  agreement  and  implicated  defendant  in  the  August  2000  home  invasion  and  murders  of  Marinus and Sary Polderman and their daughter Anna Lewis.  Before trial, McConnell withdrew from her plea agreement and sent a letter to the trial court recanting her preliminary examination testimony.  McConnell invoked her Fifth Amendment right and refused to testify at defendant’s trial.    At  trial,  the  trial  court  allowed  the  prosecutor  to  introduce  McConnell’s  preliminary  examination testimony.  On appeal, defendant first argues that the trial court violated his rights under   the   Confrontation   Clause   when   it   admitted   McConnell’s   preliminary   examination   testimony.  Whether admission of evidence constitutes a violation of a defendant’s Confrontation Clause  rights  involves  a  question  of  constitutional  law  that  we  review  de  novo.    People  v  Beasley, 239 Mich App 548, 557; 609 NW2d 581 (2000).

Mcconnell Adams is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Mcconnell Adams was convicted by Jury in Oakland County of Homicide - Murder First Degree-Premeditated and Felony Murder. His appeal includes: Defendant was tried with his codefendant, Anitra Coomer  , before separate juries in the Oakland Circuit Court in October 1997.   The facts surrounding the death of Dr. Deborah Iverson have been set forth in detail in the companion case, People v. Coomer, 245 Mich.App 206, 627 N.W.2d 612 (2001), and we see no need to restate those facts here.   Defendant's and codefendant Coomer's trial lasted ten days, although much of the testimony was presented to codefendant Coomer's jury only.   There was virtually no physical evidence linking defendant to the murder, as there was with codefendant Coomer.   Thus, this case focuses on the propriety of the admission of defendant's videotaped confession into evidence.

Debra Lynne Smith is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Debra Lynne Smith was convicted by Jury in Oakland County of Homicide - Open Murder - Statutory Short Form. Her appeal includes: The challenged evidence that defendant had acted violently toward the victim in the past, that  defendant  had  exhibited  jealousy  of  the  victim,  and  that  the  victim  was  afraid  of  defendant  and wanted to get away from defendant was relevant for a proper purpose—to show defendant’s motive for killing the victim.  See also Fisher, supra at 543.  Evidence that defendant threatened the victim in the past is highly probative of motive, such that its probative value outweighs any prejudicial effect of admitting the evidence. People v Armentero, 148 Mich App 120, 133; 384 NW2d 98 (1986).  Additionally, evidence that defendant owned and was familiar with a handgun was  relevant  to  show  defendant’s  opportunity  to  commit  the  crime  and  to  show  absence  of  mistake  o
