East Texas man waives right to jury trial in 2012 murder case

TYLER, TX (KLTV) - The East Texas man charged with a September 2012 murder appeared in court Wednesday morning.

According to Smith County District Attorney Matt Bingham, 70-year-old Anthony Miller waived his right to a jury trial and will enter a plea in the case October 4. He is charged with the murder of 34-year-old Adam Palacios of Tyler.
