GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan -- There could be a sequel on the horizon to one of the steamiest murder trials in recent county history -- one packed with sex, provocative e-mails and suicide.

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered a new trial for Sharee Miller, who was convicted of manipulating an Internet lover to kill her husband here in 1999 before the man killed himself.

Judge Victoria A. Roberts said in a 23-page opinion that Genesee Circuit Judge Judith A. Fullerton erred in allowing the admission of a suicide note written by Jerry L. Cassaday, whom prosecutors said was enticed by Sharee Miller to kill her husband Bruce Miller.

"She's going to have a new trial in Genesee County and the tainted evidence won't be allowed in." said David Nickola, who represented Sharee Miller in the case and contended that jurors should have never seen the suicide note because Cassaday was dead and could not be cross examined.

"We did not lose a fair fight. I know what was just and what wasn't just," Nickola said. "I knew at the time we were wronged."

Miller had maintained her innocence since being charged with the crimes, Nickola said.

Bruce Miller's brother, Charles, said his ex-sister-in-law doesn't deserve another chance.

"As far as I'm concerned she's guilty as hell," Charles Miller said. "Everything she's ever told us has been a lie.

"All I do is get mad about it the more I talk about it."

In January 2001, Fullerton sentenced Miller, now 36, of Mt. Morris to life in prison on a second-degree murder conviction and 54-81 years for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder with Cassaday.

The case had gone unsolved for months until February 2000, when Cassaday committed suicide in Kansas City, Mo. His relatives found a suicide note, implicating Sharee Miller in the slaying.

Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton said today that he would suggest the state attorney general appeal Roberts' ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.

"I will urge them to appeal this decision ... It's an important issue in an important case that needs to be adjudicated beyond the (U.S.) District Court," Leyton said.

The Miller case attracted national attention when it happened and became the subject of a book by former Flint Journal staff writer Paul Janczewski and Mark Morris, a reporter for the Kansas City Star.

The case also has been featured on Court TV, a pair of NBC programs, and "Fatal Desire," a made-for television movie starring Anne Heche and Eric Roberts. Sharee Miller, the Mt. Morris Township woman convicted of enticing her Internet lover to kill her husband, is getting hitched again.

In March this year she made news again when she announced she was engaged to be married to an Illinois man who had been corresponding to her in prison. He proposed the day he met her.
