Miller says he will plead guilty in Jewish site shootings

Source: AP

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —A white supremacist accused of killing three people at two Jewish centers in Kansas says he plans to plead guilty to capital murder to avoid a lengthy trial because of his failing health.

Frazier Glenn Miller, 74, of Aurora, Missouri, told The Associated Press in a phone call from jail on Monday that he doesn't think he has much longer to live and wants a chance to speak in court about why he committed the crimes.

Miller is accused of fatally shooting William Lewis Corporon, 69, and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in Overland Park, Kansas, on April 13, 2014. The two were there so the teen could compete in a singing contest.

Let people hear his words loud and clear. Let them understand the depth of the hatred. Maybe then some will take heed of their own anti-Semitism, though it not be so clear, such as those who think hosting a Cruz fundraiser is being a "Jew first, a gay second" will see how similar their message is, despite the change in words!
