OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A judge has ruled that a white supremacist will go to trial for capital murder in the shooting deaths of three people at Jewish sites in Kansas.

The Johnson County judge found Tuesday that sufficient evidence exists to try Frazier Glenn Miller in the 2014 deaths. Besides capital murder, he is charged with three counts of attempted first-degree murder, one count of aggravated assault and one count of criminal discharge of a weapon at a structure.

The 74-year-old Miller, of Aurora, Missouri, did not visibly react when the judge ruled.

The defense asked to delay the arraignment and the judge said he would take up the request after a break.

Miller is accused of killing 69-year-old Dr. William Lewis Corporon, his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffen Underwood, and 53-year-old Terri LaManno.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A preliminary hearing for a man accused of killing three people at Jewish sites in Kansas enters its second day, with more testimony scheduled from those who witnessed the shootings.

Frazier Glenn Miller, 74, an avowed white supremacist, is charged with capital murder in the April 13, 2014, shootings at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in Overland Park, Kansas, and at a nearby Jewish retirement home. He has told The Associated Press and other media that said he was afraid he was dying and felt a patriotic duty to kill Jews. None of the victims was Jewish.

Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.

Witnesses on Monday testified they saw Miller shooting at the sites and described the aftermath.
