Specifically, Miller was charged with embezzlement of public funds and faces up to 20 years in prison, plus restitution and fines, if convicted.Update (11/16/10): Miller was formally indicted on 37 embezzlement counts today. The indictment also alleges that Miller embezzled "thousands of dollars" in 2004 when he was superintendent of Richland School District One in Columbia, South Carolina. Miller and a co-conspirator allegedly formed a phony company, Renaissance Educational Consultants, which billed the school district and from which they took the proceeds.
Update (10/19/11): Miller has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty.

As a former student of Mullins High School, I was wondering if you or anyone knew whether he had gone to trial yet or not?
