Devonta Bernard Miller Gets Life Sentence | Topeka News

Devonta Bernard Miller, 33, from Topeka, just received a “Hard 50” life sentence with no parole for at least 50 years after pleading guilty to first-degree premeditated murder, attempted murder, and aggravated battery in the 2021 killing of Kristy Rodriguez. The court added 272 months for the attempted murder and 41 months for aggravated battery, bringing his total sentence to life plus 303 months — a staggering punishment reflecting the gravity of his crimes. Prosecutors praised the DAs and Topeka PD for their relentless work on the case, which took years to resolve. Miller is now in Shawnee County custody and will be transferred to the Kansas Department of Corrections to begin serving his sentence.
