In Indiana County Court tomorrow, Judge Michael Clark will preside over a Post Conviction Relief hearing for 45-year-old Warren Miller of Hastings, who is challenging his sentence of seven to 19 years in prison plus one year of probation for homicide by vehicle while DUI.
Miller was sentenced in December of 2022 for the death of Christopher Ortman on Route 286 in Green Township in October of 2020. Miller’s vehicle crossed the center line and struck Ortman’s vehicle head-on. A blood test confirmed that Miller was under the influence of both marijuana and methamphetamines at the time of the crash.
At the time of Miller’s sentencing, District Attorney Bob Manzi said Miller “made the choice to use drugs and then drive his car, (costing) the victim his life.”
The petition for post conviction relief was filed in August.
