Man from South Carolina Sentenced to Life in Prison for Triple Murder
A South Carolina man accused of killing five people over the course of six months in 2016 and 2017 has been sentenced to life in prison in connection with three of those deaths.
After deliberating for about two hours following a four-day trial, the jury returned three guilty verdicts Friday against Kenneth Chisolm, 24, of Walterboro, for the murders of 46-year-old Phillip Miller; his wife, 52-year-old Lori Miller; and their 13-year-old son, Vincent, news outlets reported. Jurors also convicted Chisolm on a charge of attempted murder of the Millers’ then 9-year-old granddaughter and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
Prosecutors have described the case as a planned robbery disguised initially as a simple drug deal for marijuana. But according to the testimony of getaway driver La Shay Aiken, 24, Chisolm was apparently caught trying to swindle Phillip Miller with fake cash and then shot Miller and his family.
