WICHITA — The mother of a 3-year-old Kansas boy whose body was found encased in concrete says she wants new legal representation because her attorney “has it in his mind that I’m guilty” and “has not helped me fight my case.”
The Wichita Eagle reports that Miranda Miller’s hand-written motion is dated Nov. 13. A hearing in her case is scheduled for Wednesday.
Miller previously testified against her boyfriend, 41-year-old Stephen Bodine, in exchange for the chance to plead guilty to a less serious charge in the death of her son, Evan Brewer. Prosecutors say the couple tortured Evan for months before his death.
Bodine was convicted last month of first-degree murder and faces a possible life sentence. Miller’s deal, if finalized, likely would limit her sentence to about 27 years.
