Stephen Miller and his defense attorneys suffered a loss as District Judge Benjamin Lewis denied to lower the previously set $1.5 million bond.
Miller is accused of strangling his wife, Gloria Miller, and dumping her body in a creek bed before reporting her missing, eventually breaking down under strenuous interrogation.
Relatives testified in Stephen Miller’s defense, saying his relationship with their mother was difficult. They claimed Gloria Miller was the one who caused much of the turmoil.
Dothan Police Cpl. Scott Spivey took the stand to reveal some of the facts of the case, saying Stephen Miller had told his wife he wanted a divorce.
On the day of the murder, the Millers got into an argument which escalated to physical violence when Gloria scratched Stephen. Spivey said Stephen pushed Gloria into a dresser and strangled her, then disabling the security cameras around the home before moving her body.
Stephen Miller reported his wife missing and helped with the search, even speaking to media, before breaking down in late-night interrogation and revealing where investigators would find his wife.
