Text: Dickerson, a criminal investigator with the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol at the time of the murder, investigated the shooting. Dickerson received a call at his home in Holly Springs, Mississippi, shortly after midnight on the night of the shooting. He immediately drove to the sheriff's office in Iuka, arriving at approximately 1:40 a.m. Dickerson stated that he advised Miller of his rights and attempted to question him around 2:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m. that morning but Miller was intoxicated and stated that he did not want to talk. Dickerson ceased questioning him at that time. The next morning around 10:20 Dickerson again advised Miller of his rights and Miller signed a waiver. Dickerson stated that Miller appeared to be sober at that time and he appeared to understand his rights and the effect of a waiver. Thereafter, Miller was questioned and Dickerson wrote out a statement concerning the events surrounding the shooting. The statement was read to Miller and Miller signed it. Sheriff Bob Payne and Chief of Police Joel Holliman witnessed Miller sign the written statement.
