Green and Santana, who both pleaded guilty, got 35 and 22 years in prison, respectively.

Miller, dressed in a bright yellow jail jumpsuit, swiveled his chair, rolled his eyes, tilted his head and looked up at the ceiling during the proceeding. Twice, he pulled out a comb and started grooming his beard. After he did it the second time, U.S. marshals took the comb away from him.

When asked if he wanted to make a statement, Miller only said that he maintained his innocence, adding,  I hope to appeal the verdict and the sentence.

After handing down sentence, Hall said she hopes Miller finds some purpose in his life behind bars, that he's able to find some way to contribute to society, or help those younger than him.
