Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. is facing a possible death sentence if convicted of capital murder in the 2014 shootings at two sites in Overland Park, Kansas. Johnson County prosecutors rested their case on Thursday morning.

Miller is representing himself. He told Johnson County judge Thomas Kelly Ryan he wasn’t prepared to start his defense and needed the case postponed until Monday. Ryan instead set Miller’s defense for Friday morning.

Ryan warned Miller that he would not be allowed to present evidence about his motives for the shootings. Miller accused the judge of violating his constitutional rights

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — Prosecutors have rested their case in the capital murder trial of a Missouri white supremacist who acknowledges killing three people at two Jewish centers in suburban Kansas City.

Jurors on Thursday heard recordings of two phone calls Miller made from the Johnson County jail, in which he admitted killing a 69-year-old man, his 14-year-old grandson and a 53-year-old woman in Overland Park, Kansas, in April 2014.

District Attorney Steve Howe announced afterward that he was finished presenting his case.

Miller asked Judge Thomas Kelly Ryan to postpone the defense part of the case until Monday because he’s not prepared. Ryan reminded the 74-year-old he’s the one who demanded a speedy trial and fired his attorneys.

Ryan said he would rule on the request after speaking with Miller behind closed doors.
