Andrew Miller (North Dakota)Andrew Miller (judge) – Usually, we don't disambiguate by location unless there is more than one person with that profession. If there was more than 1 person with the profession but of different nationalities, we would do Name (American judge) and Name (Canadian judge), for example. If they are the same nationality, we usually do Name (judge, born 1934) and Name (judge, born 1981), for example. However, I am requesting moving it to judge because this man is the only judge by that name on Wikipedia. Although a judge is a politician, and there is a British politician (Andrew Miller (politician)) on Wikipedia, a hatnote would solve the confusion. I hope this argument for a move is not a But I don't know about it argument. ✉cookiemonster✉ 𝚨755𝛀 18:05, 21 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Notable Cases

edit

The history of the involvement of Miller in the trial of Governor William Langer has been expanded. While indeed Langer was convicted and removed from office, the first trial was littered with procedural errors that made it invalid on appeal, including improper and rigged jury selection (the jurors were alleged to have had personal bias against Langer and been hand-picked by the prosecuting attorney) and heavily biased and opinionated jury instructions, all considered a black eye to the presiding judge. However, Miller did not recuse himself in the first retrial, which ended in a hung jury. The second retrial, which Miller did not preside over, ended in Langer's acquittal. The resolution of this prosecution shall be included to provide the complete history of this notable case.
