6 Year minimum 50 year maximum. That is a monumental difference. Not to mention the possibility that he could still be alive at 88 and even at that age I don't want him out on the streets. He's probably going to get out well before then though. I am so upset.

 

[Worry Wart]

Well dang, he does care that Alexis died. Blecch I do not care about him or his sorry excuses. I hope he dies in prison! Guess I should add MOO.

"The distraught mother of the 16-year-old babysitter drugged to death and sexually abused by a 38-year-old Utah white supremacist in September 2011 has said that she is so bereaved she hasn't stopped crying every day since.
Before Eric Millerberg's sentence of 5 years-to-life was announced in the Ogden court, Dawn Miera stood in front of the judge and tried to tell him how the loss of Alexis Rasmussen has left her so frightened to let her children out of her sight that she stops them going to school sometimes."

A state judge sentenced 41-year-old Dea Millerberg in an emotional hearing on Thursday. Calling the crime heinous and depraved, Judge W. Brent West said he would have leveled a harsher sentence if not for a plea deal prosecutors agreed to in exchange for Millerberg’s testimony against her husband.

“She lost all her common sense, and was not in a position to help Alexis when she needed her the most,” said West as Millerberg burst into racking sobs.

Dea Millerberg, the North Ogden woman who helped her husband hide the body of a 16-year-old girl in 2011, went before a parole board for the first time Tuesday morning.

No decision was made Tuesday about different parole scenarios for Millerberg, who expressed remorse for her crime in front of her family members and those of the teenage victim, Alexis Rasmussen. Members of the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole will issue a ruling on the hearing in the coming weeks.

Dea Millerberg still has a lot of family support and she did cooperate with authorities to convict her husband of child abuse homicide, the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole acknowledged Tuesday.

"The problem is I don't know how much weight that carries against the enormity of what happened to Alexis," board member Curt Garner, who conducted Tuesday's hearing, told Millerberg...

Garner told her that she should prepare for the possibility of serving her entire five-year sentence in prison without an early release.

The Utah Court of Appeals rejected Eric Millerberg's claims that his attorney failed him as he faced allegations at trial that he had given his teenage babysitter a lethal dose of drugs, then hid her body. In a decision handed down Friday, the appellate court denied Millerberg's arguments, upholding his conviction. Millerberg, now 42, is currently serving a sentence of at least six years and up to life in prison for the death of 16-year-old Alexis Rasmussen.

In February 2017 the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole denied Dea Millerberg's request to be released from prison. She is expected to remain behind bars until Aug. 20, 2019.
