George Miller Case
A man convicted of beating and stabbing an Oklahoma City motel clerk and pouring acid down his throat was put to death on Thursday. George James Miller Jr., 37, received a lethal injection of drugs and was pronounced dead at 6:24 p.m. at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.
Miller was convicted of killing Kent Dodd, 25, a night auditor for the Central Plaza Hotel in Oklahoma City, during a Sept. 17, 1994 robbery. Dodd was stabbed repeatedly, beaten with hedge shears and a paint can, and had muriatic acid poured on his face and down his throat, authorities said.
Strapped to a gurney inside the death chamber, Miller nodded to his mother and other family members who witnessed the execution. “I love you,” were his final words.
Miller’s breath hitched once, and he exhaled deeply as the lethal combination of drugs entered his system. Miller’s breathing slowed and then, after several minutes, stopped. “He’s resting now,” his mother said softly, her eyes full of tears.
Miller’s attorney, Robert Jackson, also attended the execution, but neither he nor Miller’s family addressed the media. Miller and Jackson both had maintained his innocence.
