I spent some time looking over the sex offender website for NC. It appears to me that about 1/2 of these guys recieved probation only sentences.
At the time of the crimes, which occurred April 9, 2004, Miller was dating the infant’s mother, who was at work during the abuse. Miller burned the child with a lighter, branded an “X” on the infant and broke the child’s jaw. The doctor’s report listed 15 injuries the child sustained, which included bleeding of the brain, heavy bruising, cuts and multiple circular burns.
