OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A Missouri man charged with killing three people at two Jewish sites in suburban Kansas City last year was allowed to fire his attorneys and will defend himself in his death penalty case.
However, Johnson County District Court Judge Kelly Ryan ruled during a motions hearing Thursday that defense attorneys for Frazier Glenn Miller may help him with procedural aspects of the case, such as filing motions.
Miller is charged with capital murder in April 2014 shooting deaths of 69-year-old William Lewis Corporon, 14-year-old Reat Griffin Underwood and 53-year-old Terri LaMano in Overland Park, Kansas.
The Aurora, Missouri, man told The Associated Press last month he plans to plead guilty to capital murder. He has said he wants to use his sentencing hearing to voice his anti-Semitic beliefs without interruption.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — A Missouri man charged with killing three people at two Jewish sites in suburban Kansas City last year was scheduled to appear for a hearing on motions filed by his attorneys, including one seeking a change of venue.
Frazier Glenn Miller is charged with capital murder in April 13, 2014, shooting deaths of 69-year-old William Lewis Corporon, 14-year-old Reat Griffin Underwood and 53-year-old Terri LaMano in Overland Park, Kansas.
Miller, also known as Frazier Glenn Cross, told The Associated Press last month he plans to plead guilty to capital murder. The Aurora, Missouri, man says his chronic emphysema is getting worse and he doesn’t think he has the strength to make it through a lengthy trial.
His hearing is scheduled for Thursday morning in Johnson County District Court.
