Mica Alexander Martinez
Double murder trial underway in Comanche County
The double-murder trial of a man charged with killing a Comanche County couple nearly four years ago is under way in in Lawton.
Prosecutors say Mica Martinez attacked and beat Carl Miller and Martha Miller inside their home southwest of Lawton in October 2009. The Millers died later at a hospital.
Martinez has pleaded not guilty and defense attorneys say he was heavily intoxicated at the time— which they say clouded his mind.
The son of Martha Miller — Shawn Monk — testified that he awoke to loud noises and went to his mother's room to investigate when he encountered Martinez coming out of the room. Monk says the two men fought until Martinez sat down on a couch and Monk called police.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
