Lake Charles, LA, November 6, 2026 — A Leesville father, Logan Miller, is scheduled to stand trial for the first-degree murder of his 4-year-old daughter. The trial date has been set for January 19.
The decision to proceed with the trial follows a judicial ruling that denied a defense motion requesting a sanity review for Miller. The judge determined that Logan Miller is competent to stand trial.
The specific details of the incident leading to the charges were not provided in the available information. Information regarding the timeline of events prior to the arrest or the circumstances surrounding the death of the 4-year-old victim was also not detailed.
The defense’s motion for a sanity review aimed to assess Miller’s mental state at the time of the alleged crime or his current mental capacity to understand the proceedings against him. The judge’s denial indicates that the court found sufficient grounds to proceed without this review, deeming Miller competent.
First-degree murder charges typically involve premeditation and intent. The legal process will now move towards jury selection and the presentation of evidence by both the prosecution and the defense.
Further court proceedings will determine the outcome of the case. The name of the victim was not provided.
