If anyone in the courtroom had any compassion for Miller it must have been dispelled in July 1984, when Miller was interviewed in prison after his 43-day hunger strike. "Chris Worrell was my best friend in the world," he said. "If he had lived, maybe 70 would have been killed. And I wouldn't have ever dobbed him in."
In late 1999, James Miller applied to have a non-parole period set in the hope that one day he may be released. On February 8, 2000, Chief Justice John Doyle of the South Australian Supreme Court granted Miller a non-parole period of 35 years from the date of his arrest.
James William Miller is in top-security Yatala prison in South Australia. He will be eligible for parole in the year 2014. He will be 74 years old.
