Oxford shooter's sentencing decision imminent as final day of Miller hearing concludes

The final day of the Miller hearing for the Oxford High School shooter, who is facing a potential sentence of life in prison without parole, concluded with prosecutors introducing a rebuttal witness to counter the defense's claims of mental illness and potential for rehabilitation. The defense argued that the shooter, who admitted to murdering four students and injuring seven others, is mentally ill but not beyond rehabilitation and should be given a parole option. The judge will consider factors such as the shooter's maturity, mental health, and family life before deciding on a sentence. The hearing is expected to conclude on August 18, and a decision will be issued at a later date.
