Miles' mental state at the time of the August 2015 shooting has been in question over the course of the pre-trial proceedings.

Miles' attorney stated his client has a history of schizophrenia and psychotic episodes. The insanity defense was being explored, saying Miles didn't even remember the day of the murder.

Miles was transferred to a state mental facility after his arrest.



Last year, a judge found Miles incompetent to stand trial, but that was reversed earlier this year.
