Delon Martell Miller is a Michigan murderer you've never heard of! Delon Martell Miller was
convicted by Jury in Ingham County of Homicide - Open Murder - Statutory Short Form and Attempted Murder x4.  These were only a handful of many charges.

Noe Arcaute, his accomplice, appeal includes:

Petitioner’s convictions arose out of a shooting at a Lansing convenience store on January 1, 2013, at 2:00 a.m.  Petitioner initially was charged with one count of open  murder,  three  counts  of  assault  with  intent  to  commit  murder,  one  count  of  carrying  a  concealed  weapon,  and  one  count  of  felony  firearm.    Following  a  preliminary examination held on March 21, 2013, Petitioner was bound over on the murder, carrying-concealed, and felony-firearm charges.  The district court dismissed the  charges  of  assault  with  intent  to  murder.    (Prelim.  Exam.  Tr.,  ECF  No.  6-2,  PageID.161.)  

 Petitioner and his co-defendant, Delon Martell Miller, were tried before a jury over the course of eight days.  I have reviewed the entire transcript and find that the summary  of  facts  recited  by  the  Michigan  Court  of  Appeals  reasonably  reflects  the  testimony at trial: 

This  case  stems  from  an  altercation  at  the  “Save  On  Market”  convenience store on New Year’s Day, during which several men were shot,  including  Nicholas  Jones  who  was  mortally  wounded.    Three  groups  of  men  were  involved,  each  of  which  entered  the  store  around  2:00 a.m.  The first group to arrive intended to buy liquor after leaving a house party.  Soon after the second group arrived, Keith Houston, a member of the second group, had a discussion with Delvanta Mitchell, a member of the first group.  Keith Houston testified that while holding a gun, he told Mitchell that he did not like one of Mitchell’s acquaintances and  that  he  was  going  to  shoot  the  acquaintance  when  and  where  he  found  him.    Mitchell  denied  that  Keith  Houston  showed  him  a  gun  or  threatened  to  kill  his  friend.    Group  three,  which  included  defendant  and codefendant Delon Miller, entered the store last.  Charles Mattox, a member of group one, testified that he and defendant exchanged dirty looks  after  which  defendant  said  that  he  “had  a  Magic  Johnson   anybody,” which Mattox understood to mean that defendant was armed with a gun and clip holding 32 bullets. 

Their victims or intended victims include: Nicholas  Jones

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
