JACKSON, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A murder trial began for two eastern Kentucky parents in the death of their 11-month-old child.
Braxton Miller died of a methadone overdose in June of last year.
The Commonwealth's attorney says Karen and Robert Miller showed extreme indifference to their baby's life, but defense attorneys argue that the Millers are victims of a tragic accident.
Prosecutors said Robert Miller brought home two methadone pills on June 5th.
The Miller's attorneys said one of those pills got lost in a piece of furniture.
Hours later the Millers took an unresponsive Braxton to the hospital, but he never woke up.
Testimony continues Tuesday.

BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY FOR THE PEOPLE IN THIS CHILDS FAMILY TO GET OVER THE FACT THAT HIS PARENTS KILLED HIM BECAUSE THEY WANTED THE EASY WAY OUT OF HAVING TO BUY DRUGS! JEREMY YOU REALLY HAVE A BAD DRUG PROBLEM STOP LYING TO YOURSELF AND GET REAL HELP NOT METHADONE!

like i said, i'm happier and my life is a lot better. what's wrong with that? it's not about conforming to some "you must quit" philosophy, it's about what works for each individual. it's about harm reduction. this is what works for me. please, don't lay your morality or some god trip on me, because i just don't care about either one. i'm happy, my family is happy, and that's all that matters.
