JP Miller Delayed His Trial Again — And the Demon Talk Is Back

JP Miller is headed toward a January 2027 federal trial after his defense obtained a sixth continuance. The former Myrtle Beach pastor has pleaded not guilty to cyberstalking Mica Miller and making false statements to federal investigators, and the allegations in the indictment are concrete: unwanted communications, tracking devices, interference with finances and daily life, vehicle damage, and alleged lies to the FBI.

Then there is the much stranger public record. In October 2023, Miller told his Solid Rock Church congregation that he was going through deliverance sessions and that demons were coming out of him. There is no indication that demonic possession has been raised as a defense in his federal case. But the statements matter because of what was happening around the same period and because of how Miller described his own behavior elsewhere.

Mica's brother Nate Francis said in a sworn affidavit that JP sent Mica an email acknowledging that when he felt hurt, he would try to hurt back, attack, and cause pain. That language is not mystical. It is personal, direct, and potentially far more relevant to how viewers understand the allegations now before a federal court.

The demon-defense comparison has legal history, too. In 1981, Arne Cheyenne Johnson's attorney tried to present demonic possession as an explanation for a fatal stabbing. Judge Robert Callahan barred the argument as irrelevant and unreliable, and Johnson was convicted of manslaughter.

Tony Brueski looks at why the Miller case is not really about demons at all. After six delays, the central issue is whether prosecutors can prove the charged conduct beyond a reasonable doubt and whether the defense can undercut the government's digital, documentary, and witness evidence when the case finally reaches trial.
