There is no excuse. There is not a systemic, societal problem that explains or justifies your actions,\u201d said District Judge Shawn Showers during sentencing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Prior to the sentencing, Miller apologized to Graber\u2019s family, along with his own family and that of Goodale.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI would like to apologize for my actions, first and foremost to the family,\u201d he said. \u201cI am sincerely sorry for the distress I have caused you and the devastation I have caused your family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m realizing just the magnitude of my actions, and I know it\u2019s wrong, and I knew it was wrong, and yet I still carried through.

Earlier that same day, Miller had met with Graber to discuss the low grade she had given him. The poor grade is believed to be the motive behind the murder, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, Graber\u2019s body was found hidden in the park where she had been walking. Witnesses reported seeing two males driving Graber\u2019s van away from the park, and the vehicle was later found abandoned on a rural road. Miller denied killing Graber but claimed that a &#8220;roving group of masked kids&#8221; killed his teacher and forced him to hide the body.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Goodale was allegedly bragging about the murder over Snapchat, providing evidence of their involvement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>guilty to killing their Spanish teacher in Iowa.
