Montgomery, Alabama
This undated photo released by the Alabama Dept. of Corrections shows Jamie Mills. The Alabama Supreme Court on March 20,2024, authorized Alabama’s governor to set an execution date for death row inmate Jamie Mills. Mills was convicted of killing Floyd and Vera Hill during a 2004 robbery in Marion County.
Mills was convicted of capital murder in the killings of Floyd Hill, 87, and his wife Vera, 72. Prosecutors said they were attacked with a hammer, machete and a tire tool at their home about 80 miles northwest of Birmingham in the town of Guin. “I love my family. I love my brother and sister. I couldn’t ask for more,” Mills said in his final statement as he looked in the direction of his brother and sister. He also thanked his attorney, Charlotte Morrison of the Equal Justice Initiative. “Charlotte, you fought hard for me. I love y’all. Carry on.”
But Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall’s office asked the justices to let the execution proceed, with the state writing there was much incriminating evidence against him. At the time, Mills had recently quit a job as an auto mechanic at a gas station where his boss described him as a “hard worker.” He was over $10,000 behind in child support for his two sons, was upset over his parents’ failing health and had relapsed into drug use, according to court documents.
