Jennifer Geuder, 18





Summary of offense: On June 13, 1992, a jogger discovered Jennifer Geuder's body lying in a desert area on the east side of Tucson. Ms. Geuder had been shot six times in the head. Jennifer had gone out the previous evening with her boyfriend, Jose Luna, and the defendant, Miller. Unbeknownst to Jennifer, Luna solicited Miller's help in killing her because she was demanding child support payments. Miller and Luna drove Ms. Geuder to Mount Lemmon, where Luna shot her once in the head. Although critically wounded, Jennifer did not die. Miller and Luna drove Jennifer back to a desert area in Tucson. Evidence at trial indicated that Jennifer fought for her life, and tried to hide under her car. Miller shot Jennifer five times in the head. Luna pled guilty to first degree murder and received a life sentence.

Miller, 36, was executed by lethal injection in 2000 for the June 1992 Tucson slaying in which he helped a friend murder Jennifer Geuder, an 18-year-old Tucson woman. He had said he would rather die than remain on death row and asked the Supreme Court to vacate a stay.
